Tea with Gargoyles

A beautiful, starry night - high on a parapetted rooftop - fine linen and your favorite pot of tea - and old friends. This is the setting for my newest Hamlet of South Baleful piece, Tea with Gargoyles.

I have included a couple work in progress (WIP) snaps, just to show what's happening, and because some folk may be interested in the creative process. I shall add more as the piece progresses.



The first is a thumbnail sketch; loose, organic, and filled with "life".



The second shows how I work the piece in "section", focusing on each element individually. I then trace them onto onion skins so I can move the bits about and get them where I want them. As I finish with them, I move them to a "puzzle board".

As Tea with Gargoyles progresses, I will try to post the steps. Until then, find some lovely seedcakes, your favorite hot beverage, and enjoy each moment of your wonderous life. I would recommend a comfy wingback - and don't forget a squishy poof for your feet.
