Fire's riding to valleys of death
while shadows are rising from bloody hells
Fire's riding to Hargor, the town
where evil and terror conquered the clouds
We sing to the wind the legend of the kings
to spread our heart to the kingdom of dusk
where heroes are lost, where now reigns the Shadow Lord!
- "Dargor- Shadowlord of the Black Mountain" - Rhapsody of Fire
Quick WIP shot of my current project for Losthaven.
I love graph paper. This is the planned block layout for "spools," a selvage quilt I'm making for Quilting in the Pines 2011.
originally, the white shoes were going to be on the figure's feet, but decided to have them hanging instead
not finished yet, need to work on the hair/head piece some more, crocheting lots of plastic bags with a size Q hook
getting ready for The Black Front Gallery show in April
Ink jet prints treated with a variety of surface treatments.
I am trying to made these images look both aged and "misty" as though they were memories from the past.
The most effective so far are the ones I coated with Dorland's Wax Medium, although these needed a hot iron to make them effective.

Yesterday I was home alone and listened to my audiobook, as I pieced this together - it is odd and uneven and and strange and totally without a theme and it sort of just happened...
well, at least it is colourful! :-)
I don't know if it is going to be a baby blanket again; I might chop it up into strips and sew them together with some other fabric... maybe I'll just keep this one going without a plan whatsoever.... it will turn into something at some point, I guess?!
This book will be called "Fear".
I'm increasingly struck by the presence of this emotion in everyday life: the press and TV are awash with reports which add to this fear.
My record will involve words and images which will be contained in an individually designed folder.
Brown card, white acrylic paint, masking tape and ink.
Work in progress
Measures 39'x37'..blame that on my inexperince of quilting. This is my third quilt, the first two only being doll quilts.
Fabric is michael Miller's Bot Camp, and a few fabrics from 'Nuts &Robolts' by Chris Reed for P&B Textiles.
I am contemplating adding a scrappy border, and making a little scrappy strip on the backing fabric as well.. Any thought?
An exciting time if it wasn't for the fact that I'm right up against a deadline.
The provisional title is "Rights granted to women by men"
How long does it take to form. tune, and decorate an ocarina of this size? The answer is probably, "Too long to ever recover the time invested". Ultimately, the additional time to bisque fire, glaze, glaze fire (repeatedly) will put the pricing of higher quality pieces out of reach...which is cause for reflecting upon the question, "Why do you really do this?"
Still need to figure out how to illustrate the string going up over the pulley and down around the axle...
second darkroom print. this one was burned for 55 sec. still did not achieve the contrast and dark shadows o was hopping for.
