Phenomenal engagement

The exhibition has moved to its own space... so I can blog and show at the same time...  Find out about this piece over there...

Crusader crosses

Cross and fdl...

'Scratched' crusader cross pins made from upcycled Guinness cans. The bits at the bottom are derived from Fleur-de-lis and are cast in silver and blackened.

Fleur-de-Lis display

On tan page...

Trying to see what a 'female' piece of jewellery looks like on a 'male' piece of paper.

Cross

A close-up of one of the previous prints This shows the red-tip detail a bit better... combining the Fleur-de-lis and the tab...

It also shows the latest Crusader cross design... where the 4 smaller crosses are separate...

K.sol

With medal?

I'm looking for a connection between the kiepersol and the medals.

I like the way the little fleur-de-lis (need to find a better name) fits into the leaf... that seems to be the connection. The shapely voluptuous bottom leaf has a sting and a royal (as in princessly - from princely) connotation.... (for me?)

How can one reward someone for being good with (perceived) malice?...

Cameo

Casting about...

I am trying lots of things here, because I'm not sure what to do next. I am combining embossings with prints... a kiepersol embossing (relief) with a fleur-de-lis (intaglio) and a silver cameo on top...

Just doing something to see what comes out... so the next posts should show what stuck... in a good way...

New fleur-de-lis/heart?

New fleur de lis...?

I quite like the ambivalence of this shape ... the fact that there are almost 2 balls at the top... Wonder of there is a way to use it as a heart?
