Tales of the Snowy and Moon

First, use painters tape and cover the back of the wood panel.  Then, I prepared my image by using an archival adhesive to attach it to my wood panel.  I like to add texture and embellish with a little bit of acrylic.

Next, I gather all the items needed to begin the process.  (Gloves, Resin, spatula, Hardener, torch, measuring cup, toothpicks, and something to lift your art piece off the counter.) 

I then mix equal parts of resin and hardener for at least 3 minutes.  When it comes time to pour, I like to do my edges first.  I smear the resin on with my fingers until the edges are completely covered.  I have found if I let it just drip down the sides and then rub it in, I end up missing spots and have to redo the whole thing. 

When all the edges are covered, I then place the image on cups or shot glasses to balance it off the ground. Then the fun begins.

I like to use a spatula to move the resin around.  Make sure everything is covered, especially the corners and edges or you'll end up doing the

whole piece over again. 

Once you're done, you'll need to use a torch to pop the bubbles. Look at it one last time and pick dust and hair that might have fallen into the piece.

Lastly, you will cover the entire piece for 24 hours. When 24 hours is up, it will be safe to take the painters tape off the back.  Put the art piece in a safe place for another 48 hours.  

Personally, I love using this particular brand of resin.  Its nontoxic and I can use it inside the house. The best reason of all is it makes my artwork look very polished and have had many compliments. 

TIP: 1-Don't try and wash resin off your hands.  The best way to get most of it off is to use a dry paper towel.

       2-Spray water around the area you'll be working in, this really helps keep dust at bay.  Make sure you're windows are closed too.

Here are several pieces completed in ArtResin recently.  For more information about art resin click ArtResin

Once again, if you're in the area, please stop by the Convention Center in Ocean Shores, May 25, 11am-4pm, May 26, 9am-5pm, May 27, 9am-4pm.

I wanted to extend a big thank you to Speakeasy for making this all possible.

It's been an extremely busy weekend but I still have a nice selection of prints available as well as a 4 framed pieces. 2 small and 2 large.  Stop by if you're in town and have a peek.  You will find an eclectic assortment of artists at the event too. There is also live music and a beer garden to relax in the sun and take in the breeze from the ocean. 

From what I have seen the pieces submitted were outstanding, creative and thoughtful. 

Here is the news article regarding the show.

Keys to my Kingdom

Never Looking Back

Over the past year, there have been several life changes.  I left a job that was soul sucking and decided to pursue something that made me happy.  I got married to my boyfriend of 10 years, and although we do not have human children, we have 4 wonderful 4 legged fur babies that are simply adored and probably taken care of better than some people.  

I have been avoiding blogging simply because I do not really know how to or what to say.  It seems blogging these days is very personal in nature and to be honest that is not something I have been that comfortable with. So, starting with this blog post, it will be my attempt to share a little more of myself than I typically would.

North Coast News Article

FEATURED PHOTOGRAPHER: Patricia Jollimore

For August, North Beach Artists’ Guild is featuring photographer Patricia Jollimore, who most recently contributed photos of the Fourth of July fireworks and Wearable Art Fashion Show to the North Coast News. Her art will be on display at The Gallery Of Ocean Shores at 849 Point Brown Ave. NW.

Born in Camden, London England and raised in England, Scotland, Canada and the U.S., Jollimore is a full-time resident of Ocean Shores. Growing up, she was always involved in animal rescue, specifically with dogs, and still is today.

Her roots in photography started while living in Austin, Texas and bloomed when she relocated to Washington. Since moving to Ocean Shores, her primary focus has been seascapes and beach wildlife.

While living in Seattle, Patricia was among the selected photographers for “Dislocation Photography,” a small group of photographers from around the world. The group exhibited various artist venues, and Patricia was a featured photographer at the Pioneer Square Monthly Art Walks in Occidental Park.

Patricia won the Art Association of Ocean Shores’ Poster Contest of 2013. Her snowy owl photograph was AAOS’s poster of 2013. Patricia won second place for two of her photographs in the recent Art and Photography Show in Ocean Shores.

Patricia is a member of Seattle Artists, North Beach Artists’ Guild and the Association of Arts of Ocean Shores. Currently, Patricia is working on photographing a collection of 18th Century Tall Ships.

Meet Patricia and discuss her art at The Gallery on Aug. 17 from noon to 5 p.m. View some of her photographs at her website: www.patricia-jollimore.com.
