Three custom 8 x 10 giclee prints of Cloudery drawings - your choice - pen and ink illustrations. Give books to children by collecting art - a donation of 3 books.

Description

Cloudery draws in pen & ink. Each drawing, using pens with points ranging from .2mm to .5mm, takes hours to create. There’s no prior sketching, and neither pencil nor eraser are involved. Unplanned, each grows where the pens take it. Also a chain maille artisan (with a shop at cMaille.etsy.com), I recently described my drawing compared to my other more traditional craft in an interview with Etsy Stalker:

“About a year ago my drawing style changed dramatically. I think that my drawings became very much influenced by my chain maille work: suddenly I am drawing with tiny-tipped pens (fractions of a millimeter) in the same way that I prefer to use the smallest possible rings [for my jewelry]. But I am drawing intricate, organic, abstract shapes that flow in a stream-of-consciousness way—it’s almost like ‘mailling’ on paper except I create the beginnings of patterns and then break, free-form—so, totally unlike chain maille. I guess in my artwork I get to exert my freedom to digress, change course, or just meander; that doesn’t happen with the jewelry.”

____________________________

A bit more information:

• If you prefer, prints can be 8.5 x 11 rather than 8 x 10; they can also be trimmed to the exact size of the original (between 5 x 5 and 8 x 8, but most are 5 x 7)
• With drawings that go right to the edge of the paper, you can either have them printed that way; or printed more towards the center of the page, with a thin black line around the drawing like a frame. See the last listing photo (number 5) to compare these two options.
• For either or both of the above options, just let me know at checkout, or I may ask you, based on the drawings you choose.
