Again more promises..." it will happen". I need little mantras to let myself believe I will get this baby up and running. So I 'promise' I will have some images taken over the weekend and start to get back on track with creativity!!! So a little image for inspiration...<br />

My last post, when was it May 2009?... had me decree that I was all set to go back into production with my silk painting, but no what happens is I became pregnant and within weeks of that last post I had very strong morning sickness for 3 months. Anyway to cut a long story short I have since had another beautiful baby, called Sebastian who will be turning One at the end of this month! So we have much to celebrate.<br />
<br />
However I digress, basically I am determined to resurrect "Lilli Sparrow" and instead of grand statements I am going to pull out my old silks and photograph them, then post the photographs up on this blog. I have been in a rather big state of creative lull, where I was feeling my work wasn't developing in a way that I liked. That and with the time constraints of working whilst pregnant and looking after 2 other little people left me very tried and consumed with family life and not tending to my creative needs nearly enough. However, almost 2 years later (can you believe it) I am feeling alot more energised and ready to 'take flight' to coin a well used phrase.<br />
<br />
As well as setting up my freelance Interior design business I am going to be revisiting my passions, as in creating artwork, painting silk etc (I'll embellish on this further, later). I am truly wanting to get back in touch with all the aspects of my life that I have left floundering or laying low, especially my hobbies, interests and recreation.<br />
<br />
So as of tomorrow which is my day where two children are at school & kindy, leaves me the opportunity to upload the first of my 'Old' work where I can scrutinise and decide if it's worth 'developing further', 'framing' or being a 'one off' piece. I welcome any feedback, laughing to myself as I may well indedd be talking to myself. However I have never had a problem with that, just shows my creative thinking is back ;)...Lilli boohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06152689916110939054noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134760759591977739.post-63576785792532754492009-05-12T19:13:00.003+10:002009-05-12T19:16:21.596+10:00More to come....We are about to go back into production :-) cheekily I have become very inspired and am about to remount silks onto their stretchers and resumed painting...<br /><br />With much anticipation I will record my efforts shortly...<br /><br />Lil xLilli boohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06152689916110939054noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134760759591977739.post-56156706765394156262007-09-10T22:55:00.001+10:002007-09-10T22:56:12.501+10:00More to comeStay tuned I have more to add, I just felt I needed to add another little jotting cause this blog was receiving no *love*.

Seriously it must be like 1994/95 before I had moved to Melbourne. But then again I haven't been keeping a very good record with the time line of all my paintings. I have however photographed most of them!<br /><br />So here's the photo's I finally took yesterday.

As in rearranging the house to accommodate kids, storage issues and my studio/study. So I have decided to post some of my previous silks and show you from recent to past history what I can do.<br /><br />The pictures here show my most recent work which sadly enough was commenced at the beginning of 2006 and hasn't been completed due to many excuses and distractions. <br /><br />The first shot is a detail of melded colours with a copper gutta to highlight the pattern I was working on. <br />The next shot shows a detail of the pattern developing in a very free mode, I create as I go and always have the design in my 'head' and occasionally sketch down my ideas, but mainly use my canvas (the 'silk') for bringing out the final design.<br /><br />The third shot is taken in the back courtyard (the house I live in has very ugly colours throughout, Oh the irony!) anyway this shot was not taken to highlight the ugly house but the overall length of canvas I am working on which when finished will be a silk scarf. The scarf measures 1500mm (length) x 150mm (width). A standard I find that wraps around the neck nicely.Lilli boohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06152689916110939054noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134760759591977739.post-83516736026507687652007-02-27T09:57:00.000+11:002007-07-07T00:06:15.772+10:00Introduction'lillisparrow' is my dream coming to fruition. This blog is solely going to be about the development of my design work commencing with my painted silk projects.<br />I have in the pipeline my silk scarves which is the starting point of the 'lillisparrow' journey. <br />I have, since I was a young girl wanted to have my work appreciated, displayed and sold. I am finally putting it out there. This site will develop and grow and change as I develop and grow with my work and I look forward to any feedback along the way.<br />Now to photograph my work and have it up on the site by the end of the year.<br />cheers for now,<br />LilliLilli boohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06152689916110939054noreply@blogger.com0
