Crankies are a beautiful form of communication and hold strong resonance in the American storytelling. I stumbled upon this site and immediately fell in love. Here is my second crankie made from a small cake box.

Story of Baby Moon
mixed media narrative artworks by Chelle Destefano
Baby Moon is a subconscious self of Chelle. Baby Moon explores the inner child. How do you live with the child within you? How to care and nurture yourself and allow the creative, playful you to evolve?
“…The baby moon was born out of an art work I did in 2016 of a big red moon and I had thoughts of the red moon jumping out of the artwork and bouncing around the gallery, getting in the way and making a nuisance of itself … I painted my first artwork of Baby Moon, in my arms one thunder stormy night …”Chelle Destefano 2018
Opening: Sunday 2-4 pm 18th November
Daily Noon to 6pm from 16th – 25th November 2018

Hooked
Hooked by Fern Smith ‘Hooked’ captures transience and immediacy that I associate with water.
Opaque watercolour on cotton is a South east Asian method used throughout the centuries. I became fascinated when exploring more environmentally sound art media that has high archival qualities. The famous Northern Indian artworks, opaque watercolour on cotton grace our museums today where I did my extensive research on the style and media.
