A day with a Flamenco dancer

 

What is life? Do whatever I like, go wherever I want.....

Over the year, I've been trying sorts of fabric & fibre for my creation. All around wool and silk fabrics but with the introduction of Paverpol by Sharon Gerhart, I almost hooked to the making.  This one with the skeleton of wire and Paverpol, I made the nuno felt dress for the look of a Flamenco dancer.

 

With nuno felt skills I can easily handle layers,  textures and fit to right size.

 

The dress made with my "not-so-good" eucalyptus prints of silk chiffon.  The orange silver dollar color just fine for the dress although red would be perfect.

  

My bundle of beauties from ceramic to paper clay to now Paverpol

 

The size now is bigger and bigger and layers are richer.

Today I took the beauties for a beach walk in the bay of my studio, listening to the echo of

 wave .......

 

 

 After a beach walk.... stopped by the bay...

 

passed by the village houses....

 

Call it a day with latte and NY cheesecake. 

 

All the dolls I made with nuno felt I call them "Nuna".  This is the latest creation of Paverpol I love most.  Here's another post of detail making.

Treasure under 裙下小寶藏

 

From scratch to this little girl I made with the basic Paverpol -  fabric craft. I would say this is my new mixed media creation.

Pavepol與羊毛做成的混合媒體製作是我近期的人形布藝創作, 把羊毛與絲料做成質感裙子, Teeswater原羊毛做頭髮, 蜷曲自然,  小娃裙下有風光........

  

Paverpol is liquid which fabric is dipped and wrapped around wired skeleton to form a figurine. After dried it becomes harden.  My last post of making.

 

This time I made a smaller one.  The body wrapped with fabric and painted in white acrylic.  The nuno felt dress with strips and merino wool on the surface and black mulberry silk on the top. 

 

After a little time of rolling and fulling, the  nuno felt dress is done.  I put on the body.

 

I made the little book with my natural imprints and a cover with euc leaves.

Treasure underneath..........

 

The figurine is sitting on the top of a procelain egg shaped trinket box.

I like to make something decorative and  functional.  My friend gave me this little box.  Thought a doll sitting on it makes a nice pose.  That's why I made it.

實用小擺設是我較喜愛的手作, 這裙下風光藏著小寶盒.

 

Whisper.....

Mogi, "little girl you dropped the book and your rings....."

 

Mogi likes sitting here in a sunny day..........

 

and me too, love reading in my sanctuary.

What are you doing these days.

Nuno felt dolls show you around my place- Stanley

I've added some more collection of my nuno felt dolls recently just wanted to experiment different chiffons entanglement with wool . I've to name these now borns. Is Nuna sounds pretty? OK, let me call it Nuna.

They're made of ceramic or paper clay bodies, rope limbs, wool+chiffon hats and dresses. Interested please read my previous post of how to make it.

Let Nuna Orange shows you Stanley where I've my little studio. We went up the trail to the mid of the hill. All year round there're lots of wild flowers. I don't know the names honestly. Some fruits of them are edible.
野牡丹花 Melastomaceae are typically everywhere in the mountain.
Stanley is on the south of the Island. The British and Canadian troops made their last stand before surrending to Japanese troop during the Battle of Hong Kong in 1941.
It is now a little district mixed with different elements. Down there are prime houses for the rich, government houses for grass roots, barracks for PLA (People's Liberation Army of China) even prisons. Surrounding is peaceful, beautiful with lushes and jade clear beaches.

Months ago there're lots of white wild camilia now become fruits. Things change from thriving to fading or verse versa.

These mini wooden houses in sculpture were only recreated in accordance to the original squatters on the hill side some decades ago. This was the artwork displayed in the corridor to show the historic development of the area by school project. Thanks to FYK Memorial School.

In the 90's the hillside of Stanley were full of squatters. After some years of transformation it become a well developed and harmonic area both for local and tourists. On sundays I love walking up the trails to have a breath breaking view.

Strolling along the waterfront is pleasing.

Main Street with lined bars and restaurants is packed with tourists on holidays.

Tranquil with fishing boats.

Nuna Orange is tired after some steps. Let's call it a day. Wanna to home? This will be going to J. A special wish for her.

These are waiting to somebody's home on special occasions.
Nice week to YOU. Until next time.
