Pack of 5 greeting cards/notelets, 15 x 15 cm with envelopes. Inside is mostly blank. Colours within the pack may vary from pictures.
The card design uses a technique called Suminagashi (marbling ink onto water) to give a background effect of rock formations, as seen in many areas of the island. The chess figures are my interpretation of some of the Lewis chess pieces, designed using CAD (computer aided design), which is printed on top of the marbled paper. The front and back of the chess piece is printed on the relevant side.
Brue Art
Brue Art is named after the village myself and my husband moved to in 2017, swapping life in Cambridgeshire for a new one on the Isle of Lewis. I’m now semi retired, allowing me time to rekindle my ‘artistic side’, which had been put on hold for many years due to work.
I grabbed the chance to learn more skills, portrait painting in oils, print making, textile design, jewellery making and book binding, attending many courses and tapping into the wealth of knowledge available on the island. Of course some might say I’m now a “jack of all trades, master of none”, what I say is, ” if you love doing it, do it! Enjoy, have fun and if others like it, that’s a bonus”.
So was born, Brue Art, sharing my passion for what I have learnt and love making.
