This has been a busy summer for me as an artist entertainer at weddings around the North East. I thought I would create a post here showing the kind of work I am doing - this is one of the things that has been keeping me from gardens, gardening and blogging about gardens!! 
Weddings are as plentiful as always and for brides & grooms looking for interesting and unusual wedding entertainment ideas my Glamicature TM caricatures and silhouette cutting provide something unique and entertaining too..

Over the years of creating caricatures at events, I have developed a style of caricatures that I have named Glamicatures TM. Having spoken with many clients who were apprehensive about being caricatured particularly because of previous experiences of caricatures which made them feel unattractive, I decided to create drawings that flatter clients, and are both amusing and glamorous!

The elegant art of silhouette cutting goes back in history and has lost none of its charm today. A simple black silhouette can capture so much of the sitter - which is all the more surprising in that it only takes around 3 - 5 minutes to cut! Using small scissors, each silhouette is cut out of specialist black coated paper, which entertains the onlookers and provides the sitter with a unique memento of the special occasion.

I cut simple silhouettes 'on-the-spot' at weddings and other events for which I use specialist black coated silhouette paper which has a very fine grain. Each silhouette takes around 3 - 5 minutes to cut - fascinators and elaborate hairstyles take longer than smooth hair.

Giraffes and other favourite plants!

Giraffe plant - Ingrid Sylvestre
Giraffe Plant

I've been too busy with art work to blog for many months, though I've managed to squeeze in a few precious hours gardening now and then over this wonderful summer.  And of course, giraffe spotting ... I was given three glorious dahlias by a friend, and couldn't help noticing the resemblance to a giraffe!

Lions ears plant - Ingrid Sylvestre
Leonotis - Lions Ears
While on the subject of animal plants - the above plant is commonly known as Lion's Ears. Having longed for one for ages, I was delighted to acquire these in a plant swap. I love the wonderfully sculptural shapes of the pom-pom flowers.

Cytisus battandieri - Ingrid Sylvestre
Cytisus battandieri
Following our mild winter the gardens have flourished all year. One of my favourite shrubs, Cytisus battandieri, has flowered prolifically - unusual considering we are in the North East! The large blooms smell luxuriously of pineapple, hence its common name, Pineapple Broom. Let's hope we have another mild winter!
