I created two large fans, and one smaller fan for in the middle, and joined them together. Originally, this concept was designed as a set of bird wings, however felt that this didn’t suit the ‘more grounded’ Frogicorn. The fans are more decorative plumage – like a peacock’s. I created the fan using an $8…

Stage 4 – Frogicorn – Preparing the Eyes & Completion of Face
I must admit I was initially hesitant to put plastic eyes on him, fearing it could make him look like a teddy bear. But, I think the eyes (and I’m glad I picked red) really brought him to life….
Stage 3 – Frogicorn Stitching Process
Finishing the upper arm back-stitching on the Frogicorn’s right arm. For size perspective, the kitten decided she needed to add her paw in this shot. As seen in bottom fourth image, I tested out whether the creature could sort of sit propped up on the front right arms. The idea was that he would sort…
Frogicorn – Magical Creature for Sculpture – Early-on stages (Early-stitching Young creature’s shape)
This is after cutting out designs and beginning the stitching process. Top left photo shows the formation of Frogicorn’s long, front right arm (viewer’s left), after the formation of the two, bottom feet. The bottom two legs are shaped like an elephant’s, as they carry the majority of the creature’s weight. Please see more information…
Techniques – Pinch-Pot cups
Hi everyone, I thought I’d just share an artist I’ve been finding very helpful, I found on YouTube – I’m quite a visual person, so with art techniques I benefit from watching people showing how to complete something in person. Rather than trying to read the text, as I can get quite a bit confused,…
Reflection on Research – Week Nine
Hi everyone, This week I’ve been researching an Australian artist and printmaker I came across, Margaret Preston. I found her work quite inspiring and her journey through art intriguing and insightful. The below YouTube video provided a valuable overview of understanding the diversity of her work. I don’t know if it might be the similar-related…
First Prints
So, these were the first prints I did, way back. Titled ‘Red Flower’. I was quite happy with how the prints turned out, and was surprised with how effective small details in the print, such as the border lines, turned out. I quite liked the impact of having a border on a print, especially to…
Artist style – Modifications to Design – Week 7 12/7/25
Well, yesterday, I modified the colours of the LGBTQIASB+ design. After some research yesterday, I realised I accidentally muddled up the colours of the new Pride flag. I’m glad I discovered this now, as I would have been really disappointed in myself if I got this wrong, in the final product. Especially as to be…
First Linos cut – 30/6/25
These were the first two linos I cut. The first, left, is a flower. It was intended as a daisy, but I think with the shape of its petals it’s probably more realistically another flower – maybe a zucchini flower? The second, right, is a toucan. This is cut on a softer lino, which took…
