Allsorts of Temptation
8x11 inches
Scratch art, inktense pencils and coloured pencils on Ampersand Scratchbord
Oh what fun I'm having... and this artwork was especially fun. Traditionally, scratch art is a medium most often utilised for doing fur and feathers so I am trying to push myself and the boundaries to try different subject matters and textures which is keeping me awake at night (thinking of ideas), but I do love when the creative juices are flowing. The reference photo for this artwork was my own and luckily I got a few usable ones after the first shooting as they were all quickly gobbled by the family before I had even printed off a photo!!! :)
really nice bright colours :)
ReplyDeletecan't stand that candy,would sit around the house getting dusty :p
Thank you heaps Jennifer - don't worry my family would finish them off for you :)
ReplyDeleteLove this one Karen.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Jennifer - I don't like liquorice but I think you can buy 'allsorts' without the liquorice now?
Really - I haven't seen them here Sue. People seem to either love them or hate them. I've had quite a few people say they went out and bought a bag after seeing this artwork and others who said Yuk - that's what makes the world great!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI think they're called Bassett Fruit Allsorts and there was a range called Bassett Dessert Allsorts but that may have been discontinue ...
ReplyDeleteI've never tasted them (not having a sweet tooth) but used to buy them for Mum-in-Law who loved them.
The liquorice ones are much more striking though and this is a brilliant picture
Thank you Sue - you are a wealth of information!!! :)
