The Hat from Bon Mache!

During this summer Alarna a local teenager volunteers at Rice Lane City Farm, Walton, Liverpool. She works with young children to craft out arty objects for them to take home. Here to make the hat use a foam circle, brown tape which is wetted to stick. When dried put paper mache on to solidify it and to make a bow for this hat!

Your’e Havin a Giraffe!

Wanna know how this is made? From recyclable material like cardboard boxes, toilet tubes and old bottles.  Put it together and wrap modrock around it to make it go hard like a statue but this one needs to be painted!

The Mask

Put paper towel over your eyes so water does not go in.  Then dip the modrock into water and over the paper towel.  Rest it over your face to form the face .  When it dries cut the eyes with scissors and paint it, yeah decorate it the way you want it like feather.

This is a painting on a plastic wallet.  You wait for it to dry a bit peel it off with film and stick it on the window.

MilModa Art

Michelle Linger is the proprieter of MilModa art. Initially it was aa touring gallery which been to Isle of Man, York and recently did an art fair in London.

Now based in Hooton South Wirral.  The idea of the gallery there it is user friendly people can come in and swop paintings, take stuff off the walls.

But what makes MilModa different from a high street gallery is that we deal with real, original, contemporary fine art specialising in paintings however there will be no high street gallery which is limited edition.  Ours is a one off original so it is couture and that’s it.

All the work is considered as certificate of authenticity so it is very different from a normal high street gallery.

Michelle is a art dealer and  known artists such as Robert Hart,

Tina Reed, and Fleur Deakin for a long time.  She has over twent

years experience in the industry so it is a matter of building up a relationship with them as well.

She is also a qualified art historian as well so people get professional advice from a trained consultant which where we differ as well.

The above images show how dyslexics’ brains work in pictures anot text.  Michelle herself can remember inside of things and colours and textures and stuff.  For more information about the Michelle’s business check out http://www.milmodaart.com/
