Giant Powertex flowerhead

Since I like to use items to recycle for a lot of my Powertex projects I went to a car boot and challenged myself to buy items to repurpose in my art
This flowerhead started life as a lampshade which I added wire to to create the petals then covered them in masking tape before adding the Powertex soaked fabric
When it was dry I added styrofoam balls to the centre mixed with Powertex
Then when that was dry added the pigments and varnish!
Pretty happy with the result

Rusty Heart Powertex Workshop Sunday 21st July

Sample Powertex this piece is called Anubis

This little piece is for the centre of a journal
Whenever I have a little Powertex left over from a larger project I create some of these pieces ready to add to another creation can't bear to waste anything
Powertex allows me to recycle lots of things in my art and that makes me very happy!!

Next Powertex Workshop

My next Powertex Workshop is on Saturday 27th July 10am until 1pm
You can choose between a Journal or a Canvas
Let me guide you through the wonderful world of Powertex it is a liquid fabric sculpting medium that is water based, non toxic and environmentally friendly and essentially hardens fabric but it does so much more!!
You will be led through the creation stage and then through the colouring process which turns you project from great to Amazing!!
My workshops are held in my purpose built garden studio with only six places so great student to tutor ratio!!
Drop me an email if you would like to join me!
