New Food Collage Squares.....

The three 'food' squares are a commission for a new range of 'cafe cards'. Although they were quite a fiddle to cut, I have really enjoyed the challenge of the brief and I'm pleased with the final results. I really enjoy working in this way - its painstaking work but the end results yeild a lot of personal satisfaction. Although I sell prints of my work via my Etsy shop, I am able to carry out private commissions of originals for interiors and can easily be contacted via my website www.wix.com/sarahjarrett/sarah

New Food & Drink Collages......

I'm working on a series of new food collages at the moment for a publisher. They are going to be square format cafe cards. Its a really nice job to do and I'm enjoying the challenges. They are taking quite a long time to do as there is a lot of detail involved and a lot of balancing to make them fit the rest of the range.

A Love Heart for Sunday....

Sunday's heart is a patchwork collage heart to brighten up your day.

New Still Life

I'm working on a new series of food still life pieces in limited/ monochromatic colours. I finished the first one yesterday and hope to put the others up as I finish them.

Butterflies

I've been working on the theme of Butterflies for a while recently and have all three of these images for sale in my Etsy shop. I think they are such an ideal decorative icon, I never get tired if trying to interpret them in different ways.

My favourite is the large collage butterfly to the left. I particularly like the colours and I used a lot of sweet foils in the collage which gives it a really shiny surface.

Cup cakes!

Continuing my food theme of late, I've just finished my 'Cupcakes' piece. I made all the cakes from fabric collages and then machine stitched them. All six cakes are mounted on canvas as a ready to hang piece. I've just listed it in my Etsy shop today. Take a look.

Love Hearts!

I love decorative hearts and often use them in my work. All of the above pieces are in my Etsy shop.

New canvas pieces....

I now have a 'Ready to hang' section in my Etsy shop. These two collages on canvas have just been listed today.

Ready to hang collage on canvas....

This week I'm working on some new collage pieces straight onto canvas so they are ready to hang. I'm doing some more tea time/ still life images to start with like the three above which are in my Etsy shop. I hope to have some up tommorrow for viewing. I think they'd be lovely as kitchen pictures.

Butterflies and Flowers......

I've been working flat out all weekend to finish new work for SURTEX next week in New York. My agent is going out towards the end of the week for meetings prior to the event and new work needs to go into the portfolios before then. When I'm really busy I get on to a real roll and I can produce new pieces quite quickly.
Last week I picked up some old wallpaper books to use as collage papers in my work. One in particular had some beautiful textured papers in bright colours with almost powdery textures that were lovely to use. I felt like a child with a new paint box. Anyway I used these to make some of my new work. The Butterflies and Flowers shown are two of the images I've just finished and are now for sale in my Etsy shop.
