My Art
Even More Stitchery
I'm having difficulty photographing my new quilted paintings...it's a challenge to light them exactly right, to bring out the three-dimensions you see in "real life" viewing. This quilted painting is about 9x11 inches (including binding on edge) and matches another...
Underwear Artdress
While typing the title for this post, I accidentally typed "udderwear"...which is a completely different topic altogether. Perhaps one day I will make high-fashion garments for all the sophisticated and fashion-conscious cows out there---but not today. This is another...
Shiny Happy Bags
These two were a lot of fun! If they could hold hands and dance in a circle, they would definitely do so. I found a black plastic garbage bag in the unsurmountable "jungle of art supplies" in my garage, and knew that it would be perfect for a more crisp, formal look...
More Stitchery
I must have jinxed my sewing machine by discussing her performance behind her back...for she seems to have pooped out on me now. Makes an awful grinding noise and refuses to go. I got about half the free-motion done on the painting I mentioned previously, but the...
Fabric Dye Paintings
I've decided that I will no longer be "unable" to draw things from memory or purely from my imagination. ...Yes, just like that. This painting (so far) is Procion MX fabric dye on cotton...and I'll soon be adding the smaller details with some free-motion quilting....
…and make a quilt from scratch.
I've been feeling a bit frustrated by not having a more narrow "focus" in my art. I found this quote and it brought me comfort: "A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance...
A Peek of Plush
Since Christmas is officially "over" now, I can start showing you some of the projects I've been working on! Well, I've still been making necklaces, of course...(so if you're one of the people who are expecting one, be checking your mail soon!) See the one with the...
Bags, Bags, Bags!
Too many holidays! But here's another update from the "sneak peek". I've posted several of my necklaces in my Etsy store, and I have others left from Jennifer's gallery sale. And since another photo session is tentatively scheduled for next week, I'll be adding some...
Three Peeks…
Here are sneak-peeks of three different types of projects I've been working on... Perhaps if you imagined hard enough, you could see that the first photo is an article of clothing (although doesn't it resemble some sort of headless, abstract voodoo doll?). The other...
Appropriately Spooky (and Plastic)
Just wanted to quickly share this photo (click on it to enlarge). Can you imagine what kind of wicked effects we could add to this in Photoshop?! (Well, I can...because I peeked and saw that Jason's already been tweaking a few of these photos in some pretty awesome...
