Project 3.1 - Kristy Sippel


I chose to make a temari, a type of traditional Japanese folkcraft. The quote featured in the image is also written on a cloth in the centre of the hand-wrapped ball.

PBP3 Participant - Detta Tea





By day (by that I mean 24hours/day) I am a SAHM (stay at home mum).
By night (by that I mean in my dreams) I am an ever evolving and learning and loving artist. 
Mostly creating large  acrylic and oil artworks, I also dabble in crochet, knitting, cooking (the fun kind) and life drawing.

Project 3.2


Love (1973) Robert Indiana
Robert Indiana is considered to be a pioneer of assemblage art, hard-edge abstraction and pop art. A painter, sculptor and printmaker, Indiana studied at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine and the Edinburgh College of Art. Living in New York in the late 1950s he began assembling wood sculptures from found materials, often stencilling words on to them. In the 1960s Indiana’s use of vibrating bright colour and simple formal configurations in his canvases marked him as one of the central figures of American Pop art. Indiana describes himself as a painter of signs, taking much of his inspiration from the world of signs, in particular highway signs that refer allegorically to life’s journey. His distinctive rendering of LOVE, in paintings, sculptures and prints, has become an icon of 20th-century art. In 1973 the US Postal service issued LOVE as the first in their love series which sold in excess of 300 million.

This is our cat basking in the sun –he sunbakes so much that he should have golden fleece.

I’m creating colouring-book style drawings during this project.
The colouring-in will be crowdsourced, collecting as many variations as it takes to make a kitten rainbow.
