Picture
"Golden Yarn" is my entry for the Kalgoorlie Boulder Art awards 2018 to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the discovery of Gold by Paddy Hannan, Tom Flanagan and Dan Shea.

"Golden Yarn" is a play on words and has been created in Textiles: Felt, wool, acrylic yarn and acrylic paint on 640gm watercolour  paper.

It depicts the discovery of gold with a copy of Paddy Hannon's miner's right to the present day of the "Super Pit".

It's been a golden tale for Kalgoorlie - Boulder

The final touch is a replica of a golden nugget made from gold leaf cover sea sponge.

Framed in a deep set natural wood frame.

On display in Kalgoorlie from Friday 21 Sept 2018

Octopus, Stingray, Fish and Spoonbill Banners designs by Debra Scidone

Weather permitting my 4 designs for the second series of Mandurah Bridge Banners will be erected on Monday 17 September.

All very exciting, after submitting my design application in March this year the wait is nearly over to  see them hung on the new Mandurah traffic bridge.


Four of my designs were selected for the second series of banners to adorn the new Mandurah Traffic Bridge in Western Australia.The new traffic bridge has 14 Banners across its width. The Inaugural series was by Emma Blyth using images from her paintings for the Mandurah Crabfest over the past 20 years.

It was an exciting challenge to make the designs fit into the long thin design of the Banners. 


The finished paintings were applied onto a marine ply base 1:5 ratio of the 7metre high banners that are only 500mm at their widest point. They were then photographed and sent off to be printed onto the PVC Banners.


Below shows the process of the banners from concept to completion or almost.....

The concepts chosen from my submission were 
1. Octopus
2. Local fish
3. Stingray
4. Spoonbill
