Hello there
Over the summer I got to spend time with some of the younger members of our family and their friends.
It was lovely to get some playtime or so I thought. They all arrived armed with their latest ‘couldn’t be without’ gadgets ps3, ipads, mums iPhone to name but a few.After a fizzy drink and piece of cake they all found their own comfy spot and went on to conquer their own digital universes!!!
I was all ready for crafting, mud pies to beat Mary Berry into submission, rose petal perfume that Dior would die for, French skipping, British bulldog and hopscotch to name but a few.
What would these small people do if this was all taken away, would they find their inner creative and start inventing new games or revisit the ones I played as a child.
So it raised a question in my mind - Technology - is it an enabler or a thief of innocent childhood pastimes? Which in turn inspired this piece of artwork.
Using the beautiful rice papers from Powertex UK - hop onto the website here and have a look at the amazing range that is now available there really is something for everyone.
Along with Ivory Powertex, bisters, lace embellishments and the inner gubbins of an old computer destined to be crushed.
I worked out my frustration at being cheated out of a game of tig and came to the conclusion that yet again it is all about balance, there is a time and a place for both
Happy creative adventures
Annette
