Evening everyone, well, late evening....night really! I woke up feeling very tired this morning, partly due to the fact that Thomas has developed a fondness for sleeping stretched out along my arm and shoulder, purring very loudly right into my ear. It's like having a heavy hot water bottle on top of me all night and no matter how many times I move him he just keeps creeping back!
Anyway, a couple of coffees got me gradually perked up and then I was straight to work in the Doo Lally room. I had prepped some pieces to carry on with this morning.......
....this one is a canvas with lots of cogs and textures, all painted black ready for the next stage. I had several other pieces to build up to the same point, which takes quite a time, including this heart with the word "smile".
The next part is my favourite as I really enjoy adding the layers of colour to create the depth of lustre. The metallic paints and waxes look different depending on which angle you view them from and the light.
Here's the canvas all done and dusted!
I've been working on different pieces all day and finally tidied away (!) at past 8pm. I've added the four new finished pieces to my Etsy shop now so that's me finished for the day at last and hopefully Thomas will give my shoulder a rest tonight!

Just love what the metallic wax does - fabulous Lindsay! Can't you persuade Thomas to act as a foot warmer instead? Our Snowy used to crawl down inside the boys beds - although quite how he stood it sometimes I'll never know!!!! Chrisxxx
Wow..... just stunning Lindsay !!
hugs Diane xx
Stunningly beautiful. I especially like the heart design. So much gorgeous texture and colour. Pxx
This is not fair Lindsey!!!!!!!!! Love, love, love all your new pieces that you have created :)
It hasn't taken me long to appreciate you are a truly versatile artist. Sometimes you make cards; often you make art. I cannot hope to attain this level but I love being able to look!
Thank you for all the really kind comments - it means a lot and helps keep my spirits up and the creativity flowing. Susanne,I'm sorry to keep tempting you but it's not compulsory you know! Lol!!!Have a great rest of the weekend everyone.
