This is a little show and tell project that Pip from Meet Me at Mikes! is running. To be in the running to win a copy of her fabbo book, Meet Me at Mike's we have to post something we made. As I have only recently started knitting again, it might be a bit much to expect people to want to look at the few rows I've managed to do (let's not mention the crochet) However this is a study I did at the College of Fine Arts in Sydney which inspired my first book Circle of Nine. I was just playing around but quite a few of the images began to haunt me including the myth of Persephone Rising. I began to write the images out and a entire series of books set between the world of Eronth and the Blue Mountains in Australia began to emerge. The books are based on myth and fairy tales but it was at COFA that the characters first emerged.
I'm always fascinated on what inspires an artist of any kind. Interesting drawing. I wanted to click and make it larger! :^)
ReplyDeleteThanks Willow. So much inspires me but not my original artwork anymore. I paint with words now. I tend to work from dreams a lot however. xx
ReplyDeletePips book is so fabulous. This is great. Keep knitting girl.
ReplyDeleteI am impressed ... thanks for showing. I love seeing how other writers / artists are inspired. It's the mystery behind the genius ... very intriguing.
