Black henbane, said to be so poisonous even the smell of the flowers can make you feel dizzy...hand embroidered stumpwork Black henbane flower
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.

My drawing spot on the sidewalk across Calle Hostas from Meson de Bari. The sun was encroaching--time to finish up. July 15, 2012

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.

It was whilst I was waiting for paint to dry on another project that I spied an abandoned canvas in my workroom.
I coated it with tissue paper, acrylic paint and gesso, and then added various paint effects on top.
After sanding it with a sanding block I added tea stains, buttons and dyed lace.
This canvas will hold my collection of "glitzy" necklaces and is destined for my bedroom.
It is a work in progress as I have lots more memorabilia to add.
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!
