Michelle Ward’s GPP Street Team Crusade No 28 is about “portion control” – using part of an image to create interest and mystery. Last month we were challenged to really explore a shape, I chose the pear. You can see some of the images I created here, here and here. I have kept using last month’s PEAR shape, and have been making new images on watercolour postcards. This way, I get to do the Crusade, and keep up my stock of postcards for sending off quick notes to people. Win win! For these three I used acrylics, gesso and Stazon ink pads, acrylic stamps and handcut stencils and masks.
Anyone for half a pear?

Cath – these are fab!! I especially like the middle one, with masked pear, filled with text. Very cool at a series – all of them. Thanks for sharing your explorations with the team – fun to see you continuing with the pear!

Love the way you used several different techniques with the same image…but, each an individual art piece in and of itself! Great job!

wonderful images! I’m almost jealous of your pears. I really like the shape a lot, but I haven’t done anything serious with it since my college days.
I like that you’re making postcards with your shape. I should do something like that with mine. Thanks for the idea.LikeLike

[…] long found I had become thoroughly hooked. Some of the work I did round pears can be seen here and here. There’s something really valuable about exploring the same shape, over and over and over. […]
