I've loved painting this welly with highlights from Scarborough where I live - the castle, beach huts, the lighthouse, seagulls and the turbulent sea. It's about 14" tall.
UPDATE sold but I've just listed another (November 2021)
£25 plus postage
Below is a commission that was given as a Christmas present to someone who just loves Flamborough lighthouse
I was inspired to create pictures of giraffes after a safari holiday in Kenya and Tanzania, and I’ve used various media including mosaic tiles, oils and batik; I’ve also done greetings cards. This batik is framed in a pre-loved frame but I could post just the batik in a postage tube – please email for batik and frame sizes.
Price in the frame £38 with free postage to UK mainland.
Batik is a method of dye-ing and waxing cotton material, starting with the lightest colours first. Thus, I added hot melted wax to any area I wanted to remain white. Next, I dyed areas green for the background and waxed that. Some photos show the process, and also another giraffe batik I was doing at the same time as a commission.
The crackling effect is created at the end by scrunching the material in a final dye. Once everything was dry, I removed the wax with a hot iron (and lots of kitchen roll!).
