It's been over a year since I posted here - obviously, I'm not finding much time for blogging! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's been a very busy year as we've moved in two directions - from Kuala Lumpur down to Johore in the south of Malaysia </div>

and to north Devon in England! I'm still creating some art, but much of my time lately has been spent learning something new! I'll write more about that later, but a little hint is that it has to do with houses!!</div>

Hello everyone! Just letting you know that I am still here, but feeling a little at sixes and sevens like this poor chicken at the moment! I'm busy sorting out my house here in KL in preparation for moving. We will soon close a chapter on this side of Malaysia, but will reopen another further south in the country, in Johor Bahru later in the year! I'm also heading back to the UK for the summer - our search for a future retirement property there continues! In the meantime, whilst trying hard to be ruthless with unwanted/unworn/unread accumulated paraphernalia I spent a while enjoying these lovely items stored carefully from the early years....<br />

I know, it's been ages since I was last here! I've been so busy travelling and not had a minute to update the blog!<br />
<br />
So, without further ado - here's a quick update of what I've been up to:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSv4TSzIJDurdtwhodG2vGWgat39QHqOjbF3cHOJEuNIa75qH5InjxlTsZMTmlnpftg21LLSJUsyUu3H0pVGhWC9_Wxnb74UBFGzUHDv-Rd-PFdHqR-lYWQu4EKQZ_k8MNqJVRIYRgEuc/s1600/dubaicollage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSv4TSzIJDurdtwhodG2vGWgat39QHqOjbF3cHOJEuNIa75qH5InjxlTsZMTmlnpftg21LLSJUsyUu3H0pVGhWC9_Wxnb74UBFGzUHDv-Rd-PFdHqR-lYWQu4EKQZ_k8MNqJVRIYRgEuc/s1600/dubaicollage.jpg" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
First, a few lovely days in sunny, sandy Dubai catching up with my lovely daughter Louisa and her husband Matt.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Then it was on to UK where the weather was really cold and wet, but I so enjoyed the lovely rolling countryside, charming little towns and villages, spring flowers and bracing sea air! I had an exciting week house hunting in Devon and Cornwall, but more on that another time!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next, I flew via Dubai again back to Malaysia with just enough time to repack my bags and head off for a gorgeous week by the sea in Bali! I have lots of photos of arts and crafts that I hope to share with you later!</div>

On our return to Malaysia our other lovely daughter Julie came to stay for a week - we enjoyed some good meals out including tapas at Pinchos our favourite bar - yum! On a less happy note we helped Bob, our one-eyed kitty, pack his toys in preparation for his move to his new home this week:( </div>

I've had a couple of visitors this week. We often have monkeys popping into the garden. On Saturday afternoon this Macaque was peering in the
window and I managed to get some very close shots of him. I'm glad the
window was between us, as though not obvious here, he has pretty big teeth! </div>

'Capable' for Illustration Friday. Now you see me, now you don't ! Chameleons are capable of blending in with the scenery! Very quickly done this afternoon with Inktense pencils and a touch of gouache. Oh dear - I've just noticed that he looks like he's been impaled, poor little chap!</div>

This one gets another outing today for Illustration Friday's 'Fluid". Sadly, the fluid is oil :(. Originally titled 'Ripple', I painted this as one of a trio of small paintings for IF's collaboration with <a href="http://ripplesketches.blogspot.com/">Ripplesketches Blog</a> to raise money to help the animal victims of the Deep Water Horizon
Gulf Oil Spill.<br />

These rainbow pictures were created with a pair of old tights (yes, seriously!). I ripped the tights to create long ladders and holes of varying sizes (very satisfying process in itself!) and then fastened the fabric with sticky tape across a previously stretched, dampened sheet of heavy-weight watercolour paper. Next, I poured acrylic and watercolour inks and added brushloads of watercolours randomly across the paper as the fancy took me! I then used a spray bottle to disperse the colours. The photos above were taken whilst the pigments were still very wet.</div>

When completely dry, I removed the tights and cut some of the paper strips and the remainder into smaller squares and rectangles. Subtle patterns remained on the paper.</div>

An interesting process! One point to note: over-saturated areas created big pools of pigment that during the drying process contributed to the contracting of some the webs, so that they escaped their 'moorings' and as such were of no use at all in the experiment! Of course, when dry, the colours were less intense, but nevertheless, the effects were intriguing - I see nets, trees and beaches in there! As with the oil pastels in my <a href="http://carolinesstudio.blogspot.com/2012/02/this-n-that.html">previous post</a> I stuck the pieces into a sketch book. Who knows, these squares and rectangles may
find their way into my work one day.<br />

So ,what better way to put those laddered tights and stockings to use? I hope you might try it too - recyle and gain some colourful artwork!<br />

It seems I am not alone in thinking it would be nice to be able to reply directly to comments on my blog and I was grateful to <a href="http://silkepowers.blogspot.com/">Silke</a> for pointing out that this is indeed possible! So, I have today enabled the feature and will try <a href="http://support.google.com/blogger/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1725597">engaging with my readers through threaded commenting</a>
! If you leave a comment I will try to reply there directly at the post, and if you like, you
can subscribe to a thread to keep track of a conversation - let's see
how it goes!<br />

Not a lot of new work has
come out of my studio this week - I missed Illustration Friday :( - but rather than not show anything at all, I've decided to share a few colourful
experimental pieces I've played about with over the last few weeks. The above little pieces are clips created from a larger work created from small shapes torn from magazine pages with added oil pastel work. No particular design in mind - just going with the flow....very liberating! Thanks to <a href="http://www.love-stitching-red.blogspot.com/">Carolyn Saxby </a>for a reminder of this process - I worked from <a href="http://www.workshopontheweb.com/july2001/dove.pdf">this</a> tutorial by <a href="http://www.badcocksgallery.co.uk/show.php?artistId=90&showId=47">Sue Dove</a>. <br />

Here you can see I have pasted shapes torn from magazines onto a sheet a plain paper. I did start with colours in mind... but then I just worked the oil pastels fairly randomly around the shapes.</div>

I pasted them into a sketchbook as reference - perhaps for future paintings or textiles. I've used a few for little additions to handmade cards and collages. And if they don't get used I think they make a lovely display!<br />

If you've got a set of oil pastels I recommend you have a go! By the way, the same exercise can be done with paint too - just layer watercolours or acrylics for similar effects! Have a go!!<br />

Stay tuned for more experiments with inks, watercolour and <b>underwear</b> next!!!!</div>

'Suspense<span style="font-size: x-small;">' ©Caroline Soer 2012</span></div>
<br />
<i>Suspense</i> is the theme this week for <a href="http://illustrationfriday.com/">Illustration Friday</a>. Will the little fishing boat make it safely though the storm?<br />
Thinking about it, I could probably have taken almost any watercolour painting for this theme as there's usually an element of suspense or tension with this medium - especially on paper that's been prepared with gesso ! The paint has a mind of its own and does all kinds of unexpected things as it runs over the slippery surface! Certainly not a technique if you like total control over your artwork!</div>Carolinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12851668813182425335noreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-918090617726007851.post-50049293472107581452012-01-31T19:09:00.002+08:002012-01-31T19:09:22.581+08:00IF: Forward<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

A very quick piece for this week's Illustration Friday - 'Twirl'!

This past week or so I've been enjoying working with my daughter Jules on her <a href="http://nutrifitwithjules.blogspot.com/">blog</a> facelift and helping her to set up her exciting new Nutrition and Fitness E-business! We've created a fresh new look for the new year and we're very excited because not only is today the day she launches the new look <a href="http://nutrifitwithjules.blogspot.com/">Nutrifit with Jules</a>, but she is also introducing her super new <b>personalised <a href="http://nutrifitwithjules.blogspot.com/p/nutrition.html">Nutrition Diet Plans </a></b>- the first of which is a fantastic Detox Programme.
