After four hard months of a total rebuild and extension I am now in possession of a studio. This is still a storage area pending decoration, and as I have to complete a four foot hanging in the next two days I am forced to work in a very tiny area in part of this room.
I have shown here my pin board with my "tapestry" attached to it. I am trying to position the daisy and the bottom border here. Lots more work to do!
I'm committed to a selling exhibition next week - I thing I avoid if at all possible.
So it's down to batch production methods.
Here is the start of some of my whimsies which I make out of air dry clay and fabric.
These are tiny creatures - the largest is two inches in length.
A mock up using newspaper. I thought that I could individualise these boxes by using photographs of the intended recipients.

My drawing spot on the sidewalk across Calle Hostas from Meson de Bari. The sun was encroaching--time to finish up. July 15, 2012
Half completed items waiting for attention.
I had intended to spend the morning in the garden but a continuation of the recent heavy rain has caused a change of plan.
Caithness and Orkney are rich in Neolithic sites and the thing that struck me whilst looking at the rings and burial chambers is that these people were the ultimate mark makers.
One site, Maeshowe, which is the finest chambered tomb in North West Europe is just mind blowing. It is dated to around 5,000 years old and so it is older than the pyramids and Stonehenge.
The awesome thing about it is that later settlers, the Vikings, have covered the walls with runes which date from 1100, so you have evidence of two cultures of mark makers in one place.
This piece which is made from modelling paste on to hand made paper, with the addition of beach detritus, is my first tentative attempt at making marks.
This is a closer look at the device that is on the other end of the system - it has a receiver radio and translates the signals from the buttons into something that the conputer recognizes as a usb keyboard. It is made using hardware and software from the VUSB toolkit.
it currently uses two arduinos as a sort of brute-force solution to a timing issue where both the keyboard software and the radio software expect to be the 300-pound gorilla. I talked to someone at MFNY this past weekend who might have a solution for this problem!
Here's where the painting was when I stopped working on it last night. Hoping to finish it today...that is if Aiden will let me ;)
It's a 6"x6" linen canvas. I'm really liking the feel of the linen as opposed to the cotton...plus it's less prep since I just put one layer of gesso on these as opposed to several on the cotton canvases to get a smoother base.

Grease Alley, an industrial backwater neighborhood in a blade-runner/fifth-element genre. These shops back onto a trash and old parts-strewn gully, where the junk skiff comes by to pick up broken components, industrial leftovers, and the occasional "borrowed" part.
this is part of three tables that i use to work on. NORMALLY it's not this messy (i swear!)
there are some works that are in progress...before i turned on the hot palette to start melting down the wax.
Close-up of new elbow layout. I like this change a LOT, it allows for full range of motion without looking too gangly.
