Dave’s Diary - 27th Blog

Chim - chimney - chim - chimney - chim- chim- chimmey…. (part of the song from Bed knobs and broomsticks) Jemima has started to paint a fantastic chimney sweep for the new project this week. We are using a variety fo collage and mixed media for this painting. I dressed up in a ‘Bed knobs and Broomsticks’ outfit for Dick Van Dyke’s Chimney sweep character. We are calling our sweep - ‘‘Arfur Sweep’’ as it sounds a bit like ‘‘half a sweep’’ or ‘‘alf- a- sleep’’. The image shows the painting so far, as we are building up several layers of this wonderful picture.

I’ve now added some t-shirt prints to David’s Store on my website with the ‘‘Pirate Caption Gumbeard’’ and ‘‘Roddy the Robot’’ in children’s, women’s and men’s sizes with the choice of a variety of colours.

As I mentioned in last weeks blog, I’m compiling some artworks that show the use of different media and it’ll be featured on a page that i’ll add to Blind Create. It will be aimed at all generations.
