Just a little something I'm working on.

I want to improve my previous camera (www.flickr.com/photos/effixe/sets/72157601000121315/), so i have to design a new one.

i drew this out shape based on pictures i have seen of the abelson Omniscope but the guide film is different. It's made from polarized circular filters that will act as ball bearings with more frictions...

this first design (with illustrator...) lead me to learn SketchUp and now i'm working on it : www.flickr.com/photos/diy-effixe/6352411763/in/photostream/

Quilt top for the Doll Quilt Swap II. Made from fabric scraps I inherited from my Great Aunt Madeline.

Almost done.

I attended a class given by Anne Conybeare yesterday at Westhope College during which we looked at the work of Andre Gurtler and Denise Lach.

We had a session using a "Cola pen" which was fun, and then we did some "nonsense writing" using a medium of our choice.

I enjoy writing with correction fluid, so this is what I used, and I then ran an ink wash over it. I used cheap brown paper for the backing.

I am now translating some of the marks into stitch and making a small book to showcase the samples.

Mossy!

From above. Lots of experimentation going on here :)

Two sessions down, one more to go! (the script says "belong to yourself"

Just waiting for a bit of colour.

Knitting work in progress

There's been a lot of interest in this piece lately, so I thought I'd show where I'm at with it currently. About 200 hours so far, a little more than 50% finished.

It will become a wide angle pinhole camera.

Just starting to gather possible ephemera and papers for a new piece which will be my contribution to the forthcoming "Adhesion" exhibition

In preparation for a craft fair early March - easter bunnies in waiting!

Not sure I'm feeling this, either. Probably gonna scrap it in the morning.

Progress - The laid thread is lovely to stitch, but boy do I dislike all those tails on the back!!!

mixing drawing and painting and collage...

What will you leave behind?

not a great photo, but a fun knitting/crochet project :-) Mitered squares with a crochet edge - almost done now!

A pencil teapot for Mobilia- I hope I can figure out how to make it work. As in, finish it, haha.

have been drawing in my lunchbreaks on some days over the past two weeks. Drawing old law books in the library I work in. This was completed over three sessions. I've posted the work in progress on my blog this week. www.alissaduke.com/2015/08/old-law-books.html

My drawings of Library books and shelves are available on Greeting Cards www.etsy.com/au/shop/AlissaDuke

a little left-over paper

Progress - the work on the back takes way longer than the front. Such a relief when it is done.

I'm not any good at buildings, but they're not really the focal point of the eventual scene here. Respect to those who can build non-shite-looking buildings; I promise to try and silently mock you far less.

Still a lot of details and work to do yet, just wanted to show off what I've spent most of my weekend on so far. Not perfect, but satisfactory as a WIP.

Trying on wig colors - black.

Please see previous posts regarding the making of the face.

I have now coated the face with several layers of soy wax and then I padded it underneath before stitching it to the croched and knitted background.

This picture shows the extent of the moulding of the face.

Mixed media.

Progress.

First four fillings complete
