Evaulation

Thought out this project i have not enjoyed it one little bit, because i am not a fan of computers. I find it hard to do alot of the things on the PC. So that is why my blog is not one of the best blogs you have ever seen. i struggled alot at the start of doing this blog because i couldnt work out how it worked. I am still not completly sure of how to use everything on it. I try my best to post as many blogs as I could I havent posted alot because ive been getting ready for uni interview and found it hard to find time to fit it all in. in this blog i have published a few post of my own work and a few artists that i like. Over all I do not think my blog is the crappest blog in the world because i found it very difficult to fit it and and to use blogger, but I also dont think its the best blog but i tryed my best. I struggled with every part of using blogger. I think in the near future i wil try and get better at using blogger and maybe carry it on. in my art i prefere to get my hand stuck in rather than sitting at a computer desk!

Julie Arkell

Julie Arkell is one of England's best recognized contemporary folk artists working in papier-mâché and mixed media. It has been said that Julie, "...cannot resist the rejected debris of everyday life.  She especially favors discarded toys for inspiration and printed textiles”.

Her work is fresh and fun. It employs domestic craft techniques, but in Julie's own distinctly personal and sophisticated way. Julie does everything by hand in her London studio using no machines! She manipulates and paints her paper-Mache figures, stuffing bodies and embroidering "clothes". She trims her creations in knitted adornments (made with the help of her Mum), curious accessories, ribbons and found objects. The result are her magically appealing "people" -- which are doll-like in their proportions -- her animals, bunnies, and objects.

 I love Julie's work because it is all hand made. and most things are made from recycled things eg newspaper it just goes to show u can use anything for art work . i also love the way she make the little clothing on her figures because i find it difficult to make little things because there too small to work with n too sew into.
