After receiving the Dharma Trading newsletter where a product called Paverpol was featured I decided to use it for my structure piece. This product was featured to make figurines but I was sure it could be used to shape any object.In anticipation of my upcoming Mexican vacation the ocean was on my mind. The fish is thread painted, the coral is shaped using the Paverpol and the shells are from my stash of things I couldn't possibly throw away.
Colleen, I had never heard of Paverpol and have just been on YouTube and seen a couple of videos - and I'm no nearer understanding how you created those gorgeous red corals. However you did them, they are wonderful and together with the batik background, the shells and the fish. Hope you find Mexico has something as colourful and enticing to offer.

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful combination of colours, Colleen, and the batik background is just perfect, so full of life.
ReplyDeleteLike Hilary I'd never heard of Paverpol. It reminds me of the plaster bandages used when you have a fracture that some of my ceramic friends have used in the past. Result is fascinating, and I'm looking forward to seeing it in person.
ReplyDeleteNice work! The paverpol looks like it was fun to play with. I look forward to seeing it close-up.
ReplyDeleteIt's all been said! But I have to add that your batik fabric just makes the foreground zing!
ReplyDeleteLike the others ... never heard of paverpol but it certainly works well. Lovely piece.
ReplyDeleteI love when a 2D quilt becomes 3D...so much depth and imagination! Makes me feel as if I am snorkeling with you in the Caribbean! Did you dye or paint the paverpol? You definitely have piqued my couriosity about that product.
