My first foray into Powertex<\/a> work was a sculpture of a figure so this week I have been dabbling in the human form. I am trying to use different ways to build the armature for my pieces so this was an experiment into the wonders of kitchen roll tubes and foil. With a bundle of masking tape it was all getting very Blue Peter.<\/p>\n

Once I\u00a0<\/i>had created a kneeling form<\/a> that I was happy with I started bringing it all together with lots of old, natural fabrics and a healthy dollop of trusty Powertex<\/a>. I love seeing the way the fabrics take on the shape of the armature and drape so that the clothing takes place. I especially like giving my figures hoods as I like the mystery they create so this figure is no exception.<\/p>\n

Powertex<\/a> is a great way to use old, stained linens so here I have incorporated some lace and even a few charms for effect. The feather charms we have in store at the moment are my favourite and find their way into lots of my work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

If I have captured your imagination and you would like a piece like this for your garden remember Powertex is completely weather proof! The next opportunity to make this figure is on Saturday April 28th 2018.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
