Eagle bowl



Long time ago my followers may remember my mermaid bowl...

                                                                                                                                                     
mermaid bowl
                            


Well i hadn't done a collaged bowl for some time and I wanted to try something new. So here we have my eagle bowl! Made with torn paper and acrylic paint on a papermache substrate. I made it to hang on the wall rather than sit as the bowl shape collects the light and it reflects the gold on the sea eagles feathers. Skye is the home to a couple of eagle species, Sea eagles inhabit the cliffs surrounding Portree bay where little boat trips go out on eagle spotting trips. I've been on several, one in particular saw the eagle fly right down over our boat, a magical experience!




The idea began in my sketchbook


then was painted in black gesso


Then I added the paper fragments

    Stunning work...I just love all the wonderful details and that it can hang on the wall! There was no depth until you built all the layers.. fascinating how you manage to bring things to life with all those tiny bits of paper! LOVE it! That mermaid bowl I remember well...also a gorgeous piece!! Thanks for sharing!

    Morag, this bowl is fabulous. I wish I could see it in person and enjoy all those many little spots of color and gold. I also enjoy seeing the mermaid again. You do such magic with your papers.
