Crafty Pegs: Work Progress

Work Progress

I've decided to work hard on getting as many pegs done as possible... and it's working out well.

Yesterday, I got:

Sprung Pegs: 2
Dolly Pegs: 4
Magna Pegs: 3

I have enough 'Cool Pencils' for the market so I'm only concentrating on pegs right now to get the numbers up.

Today, I got:

Sprung Pegs: 3
Dolly Pegs: 3
Magna Pegs: 1

So, I'm getting a fair bit done in 3 hours each time. This afternoon, in about an hour's time I'll be back at it until later tonight... then tomorrow I'll record how much I got done all day (as I won't be going to my Craft Day with the ladies at the community centre). I'll spend the whole day at home working on my pegs. Then, on Tuesday, I'll varnish and wrap up the pegs I painted up and finished. Let's just hope the parcel arrives from the UK of Dolly Pegs so I have more to paint tomorrow... if not, I'll report to e-bay what has happened and get them to talk to the retailer I bought them off.
Well, I hope you're being as creative as I am right now. Until my next post, keep creating!

Paintings, Yarn Bombing, Outsider Work and Other Interesting Things

Hi there and welcome to used to be 'A Natural Background' and is now 'Crafty Pegs'. This is an art blog which I hope will pique your interest in many diverse areas in the art world. I've opened a small hobby business which has spilled over into Facebook and onto my website - which you will find on the sidebar.

I'm a volunteer at the Logan Art Gallery and have been there for almost 20 years; so I have seen many different styles of art come through its doors, met some great artists and a few collectors as well. However, I'm also an artist in my spare time. I use acrylic paints and have been attempting to find my style for the past few years.

Not only will you see my work up here on my blog (through links I put up inside the blogs themselves), but you will also see links to photos of outsider work which is not my own. This work is from around Logan City and Brisbane. Some of it is little more than graffiti while others will be public murals and great works of art by some community groups.

I hope to keep you up-to-date with other artists such as Anthony Lister and Chris Trotter. So, please enjoy this little blog... peruse and comment and please do follow; as you never know what I may find out there to put up here.
