How we, who Paverpol, Are so resourceful!

This is what I started the three gnomes with!

SUMMER PROJECTS IN PAVERPOL

This project started with a clean bottle used for hair dye.

THESE WERE REALLY FUN TO DO!

The Lighthouse project

I have changed the shape of the top of the lighthouse, it was looking like a little hat!

On a break in Florida to bring home the snow bird again! Just love the flowers and animals here..I can do with out the snakes though.

This guy comes to the birdbath every day!

Daily visitors also!

Plam tree that was cut down and is now a baby!

..pretty.

I have done up to dressing my Artist but still to add hair, scarf or tie not so sure yet, paint brush and paint pallet. He's coming along!

This just gave me an idea!

My 'little china girl' still needs hair as well and maybe a teapot in her hand..we'll see. Face and maybe feet as well to be added.

And this guys been hanging around for a bit..waiting for the perfect branch to set him up on still, ah winters almost done, isnt it?

This is the first 'on my own' invented Paverpol animal. Started with styrofoam and wire.

I am so excited ! While searching the our Paverpol site, I have run into an old fried from highschool. She is also a certified Paverpol teacher in the Etobicoke area! So we've reconnected and have gotten together to paverpol, to get supplies and to generally have a good laugh! I am inspired by her visions and hope she finds the same in mine! Either way its wonderful to have someone so close to my heart back in touch and living close and doing similar crafty things! so here's some thing I'm working on.

I started Sat. morning with this little painting....for no reason in mined. When done, I thought of doing an artist with Pavorpol to go along with this!

 This is the beginning of my 'little china girl'. And 'pepper gets a friend(my bird)! Foil and taped.

 At this stage I'm covering my shape in foil, taping loose ends.

'Light it up"

Was on a leave from posting for a bit so now going forward with new posts. First I have to gather up all my pics of my paverpol projects and post them. Then I am about to start some new designs..have some wonderful ideas and am ready to go! for now I will be posting some crochet items...be kind as I am a beginner, well a year in!

I was finally able to download some pics to show the process. 

#1. It starts with an armature of wire, steel and or wood.

#2. Cover your wire/ wood /steel with foil and tape if bits are loose. Shaping as you go. Paverpol wrappers are used to cover hole shaped figure before dressing.

#3. Paint with PAVERPOL  in black. Dress with tshirt(old), or anything cotton, and or Paverpol fiber materials. 

#4. Paint with Paverpol acrylics(or your own acrylic paints),  and rubs to give it a copper hammered look and in my case purple clothing ontop of highlighted copper rubs. Let dry and your done. If putting outside I would ad a high grade varnish such as Paverpol varnishes or  a good store bought for extra protection for our Canadian winters!

I am loving recycling all my families old t shirts and scarves into beautiful garden and indoor statues!

Sharing a bit of information on Paverpol products and designers.  This was done l;ast year and what a beautiful job she has done! I am really looking forward to meeting Carol on one of my trips down her way!

PAVERPOL in the MARITIMES... On PEI, The Birthplace of Confederation,  2014 is a very special year of celebrations and a lot is happening all around; besides the history of what happened in 1864, Arts and Culture are on top of the agenda.   Carol Karr McQuaid from Crow's Gate Studio in Summerside (pei) participated in the Arts project "Lighthouse 2014" to decorate a model lighthouse.  _______________________________________
