Ruby Tueday image for 03.05.2010

                                            Ruby Tuesday

The images below are may images for the Ruby Tuesday challenge!

The first image is a river Island plastic bag, seen outside a shoppiong complex in Morden.

The next image is a group of tomatoes in grates, outside a green grocer's shop in Wimbledon Village, London. I couldn't believe the tomatoes were so bright!

The next image is a piece of my own on-going collage work, on a red carpet in my flat!

Isn't the door in the next image such an amazingly bright red? What a welcoming door to come home to each night! Even the dusbin door is red!

The last image is one l took while looking at a lake near us that has sailing on it. Love the red helmet in this image.

First stages of making some very unusal postcards!

I am also using this blog to show-case some of my serious and fun Art Projects. One of the course l am taking at the moment is great fun. It is run by an amazing artist called Traci bunker, who is in Americaa and her blog is http://tracibunkers.ning.com

The course l am participating in is making very unusual and any size postcards. They are collaged and painted, then collaged and maybe painted again and some are finished with wax, to which objects have been embedded into the wax. I am at the very beginning, which is finding odd bits of cardboard and collaging them. Can be orgainized or random. You do both sides, l have put the first four basic image up here for you to view. As each stage is finshed l will upload them. I have not had so much "FUN" for ages. Thanks Traci!
