Sheela-na-Gig is finished !!!!


   She has been a long time coming! After a false start and then a total aversion to finishing her my anamorphic  Sheela-na-Gig is finally complete.
  She poses here on a lovely old gilt edged bible which is tied with horse hair. I found that when I removed her from her backing cordonnet she curled up as if already in a reflection (some anamorphic objects have to be viewed in a curved reflective surface) and I liked how she felt like a curled up leaf in my hand so here she sits.



She will also be the first of a series of charms that I am making.... she represents protection from crazy people.


The rest of her story is on this post.

Closing the Shop

 

 UPDATE  16.5.17
The shop has a brief reprieve and will stay open until the 31st.
...................................................................................................................................................................
I am sad to say that my Etsy shop will close this week on the 17th. I will be looking about for new premises and will of course blog as soon as I find something appropriate. And most importantly a big Thankyou to all my customers on Etsy over the past nine years.
