    Default Interesting use of a lighter.

    This guy uses one to decorate the ceiling. Maybe it will spark other ideas.

    Default Boyd exhibition at S H Ervin gallery

    There is a wonderful exhibition on at the S.H.Ervin gallery by David Boyd who was the Australian artist who first started using "Sfumato" to create artworks. He used candles as the heat/soot source but have a look here for an insight about the exhibition which features a haunting portrait using this technique. Portia Geach Memorial Prize 2012.

    Bu88er, I remember (when I was much (much) younger) getting a swipe for using candle soot to make marks on walls - I was inspired by Cave Art.

    Now it's an art-form in itself.

    Ah well, missed my chance there didn't I!
