JIM BERRY inspired kettle box....


THE LATEST on the Famous Five wagon...things are slowly moving forward.  Time is scarce having just graduated and the needing to earn money taking photographs too means that its one day on and one day off.  Really pleased with how its going though.  Typically for me I was not happy with the door which featured in an earlier post, so have painted over it ready to start again!  The wagon is the dark green colour it was when bought recently and the owners want to keep it as close to its original state as possible so colours choices are pretty limited but I have a little leeway...the weather boarding was a bitch to get back on once id removed it...not looking forward to doing it all over again on the back.  The most time consuming thing is the chamfers which takes aaaages!  Lacking in funds for gold leaf the owners have to make do with imitation gold instead, which I really like anyway and looks great once its weathered a bit.

Victorian inspirational stonework in Central London
whilst out and about round London a few months ago I took photos of many victorian motifs all based around nature which reminded me of Gypsy scrollwork and inspired me in my own work.  The more you look for it, the more there is...

More pics of the Bradford I forgot to post...




Some pics of the Bradford that I didnt get round to posting...really glad Its finished and pretty pleased with it...second time lucky for me, funny to think its been thru so many hands and been nearly completely rebuilt since the last time I painted it over 10 years ago.  As per usual these days, I just decorated over the top of someone elses base job...In other words I didnt prepare and paint the base coats of paint.  This is before I lined out the unders with green stripes.
