Still working on it, but I think this should about do it. Allows for nearly full range of articulation, and for the armor layout I like without inhibiting joints.

Changed the knee, elbow, and ankle confirgurations. Also redid the forearm armoring and skirt armor mounts slightly. PROGRESS!

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.

Softlove work in progress

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

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

Coming soon ^__^

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

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

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

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

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

Our upcoming release.

This shows a close up of the machine stitching. I have put a layer of chiffon over the velvet which has been embellished with embossing crystals.

Some of the crystals are very thick so I avoided stitching over them.

I will now burn away the chiffon with a heat gun.

This morning's view. There is no use tidying up as I'm in mid production ( excuse)

Awaiting teeth and eyes.

HFF

Today the entire block of buildings has been demolished.

These hang around the studio, getting in the way and looking more and more bedraggled.

I have taken the bull by the horns and made a hanging display book so that they are now all in one place and out of the way.

This is the first stage.

As I wanted the pages to be easily removable I have safety pinned these to individual pieces of dyed blanket which will act as the book hinges.

Ready to be iced, hopefully they won't be eaten by the owls lurking inderneath them.

Work in progress for some ATC cards.

we call it the "busy bee" art studio..that's why the bees are there.
