Mick decided to join in on the design and crafting of the pieces to help us get things ready for our next fair at The Witham, Barnard Castle (7th July). He’s really taken to it, with a good eye for design and has been experimenting with different techniques to achieve perfection.
I’d like to give you a sneaky peak at what goes on behind the scenes…
First attempt
Mick is trying out different positions and ideas with the frame on the canvas.
Second phase
Canvas prepped and painted, Mick is now deciding on the positioning of the embellishments.
Completion
After much hard work and lots of time and head scratching Mick’s masterpiece is complete!
