So Many Pickles…

Monday, January 21st, 2013

I made a mini art work for my baby nephew.  His name is Dylan and my family has started calling him Dilly or Dill Pickle so I wanted to make something dill pickle themed for his room.

I used a 6×8″ piece of Etchu Hagaki for the background and cut and pasted Moriki Kozo shaped pickles in Lime.  I used a variety of papers to make the pickle outfits, including Moriki Kozo, Metal Momi, Nepalese (available in-store) and solid colour and shimmer card stocks (available in-store).

I used the Micron Pens (available in-store) in black to draw the jar, lid, and some of the details on the pickles.  I also used watercolours to paint a light brine in the jar.

ATTENTION TORONTO ARTISTS!

Wednesday, September 12th, 2012

The Paper Place’s 3rd Annual 6X8 call for submissions and art exhibition is back!

The 6X8 event is an opportunity for Toronto artists to try their craft upon a piece of handmade Japanese kozo card and inevitably fall in love with it! It is a challenge to produce a piece of original artwork that brings out the inherent beauty of the washi paper provided. Prizes will be awarded to Best in Show and Runner-up, judged by The Paper Place staff and local artists (TBA). Artists may make work in any medium with any theme, the only stipulation is that the work use the 6X8 Etchu Hagaki.

You may register at The Paper Place, in person up until September 30th. Completed works must be returned by October 1st to be included in the exhibition.

The 6X8 works will be on display at The Paper Place from October 10th until October 30th. Join us for an opening reception Wednesday, October 10th from 7-9pm.
