Fairy Tree

Comments

Quite amazing Carole, it certainly plays with your imagination, it is one of those pieces that makes you want to squint to see just what shapes come out of it, interesting

You're an alchemist Carole, you've created something magical.

Thanks all for your kind encouragement. This was my first attempt, I am waiting for some alcohol inks to try on the yupo now.

Interesting Carole.....

Thanks all, very kind. Don't know Helen, yes I'd like it on a silk scarf but it will probably end up on the 'out' pile :)

That's a beautiful piece of work Carole

Carole, this is really beautiful, love all the delicate colours and the gold dust. (I've been meaning to try Yupo paper since I first saw some earlier posts on the gallery where it had been used. Where did you buy yours? It doesn't seem widely available in the UK.)

Thanks Avril, Dermot and Jenny. Jenny I got it from SAA but via eBay. 10 sheets A4 for just under £7.

This caught my eye - what a wonderful expression - that gold paint is inspirational - keep on experimenting !

Outstanding! Great work Carole!

Posted by Christof Hoelzl on Sun 21 Feb 12:09:30

Looks so ethereal Carole especially with the addition of the gold dust. Carry on experimenting, these are great :)

Thank you Lynne Christof and Val for your kind encouragement.

Wonderful!

Posted by Russell Edwards on Sun 21 Feb 17:38:51

What a lovely fun experiment Carole. Yupo paper is sort of unpredictable isn't it, and perfect for abstraction!

Posted by Nancy Farrar Coughlin on Sun 21 Feb 22:39:52

Thanks Russell and Nancy, yes VERY unpredictable, but fun!
