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.
Work in progress for a new series, some more complete & satisfying than others!
Driving through the desert I am on the edge of space. Bleak, barren landscapes stretch up toward the sky; pylons reach for the stars; road unrolls as steadily and evenly as the contrail of a rocket ship, a copper wire, a smoking chimney. To our sci-fi future: it is here. Here in the desert where moon-scape meets advanced industry. Where ingenuity and engineering tame and harnesses rivers, where railroad cages the open landscape and shrinks it as to our will, where the future is tested and designed and developed and built and stands over us, monolithic, secretive, hidden in the wide, wide, open, behind the beautiful barren landscape, within the ugly, barren lives, and just beyond reach of today.
Day 2 of the children being back at school and I was happy to get an hour in at the sewing machine after a very long time away. This is a sneak peek at a new project.
I love graph paper. This is the planned block layout for "spools," a selvage quilt I'm making for Quilting in the Pines 2011.
Competition model update - my update for the "snow theme" category is nearly finished. I did all of the basing on this one with the Secret Weapon "Instant Scenery Kit - Winter"

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.
Soon to be covered in a mosaic.
The next 3 art festivels that I will be in are of my photography. So I thought I would make a side table to put my business cards and postcards on. This way I can show people what they can look forward to seeing from me.
I'm also making a sign with my name on it to hang in the booth. Still working on the design for that.
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?"
second darkroom print. this one was burned for 55 sec. still did not achieve the contrast and dark shadows o was hopping for.

already finished snap fitting the kit. the only part left is some of gaplant shield and weapons. was planning to spray paint this kit, but lately, i think it a waste of paint. better paint MGs kit. but i wont let this kit like this. will touch dis up with gundam marker, panel inking and probably will seal it with flat top coat.
I'm trying a variety of products in an attempt to both age an ink jet image and to make it look "misty".
I am drawn to the look produced using encaustic wax, but the health hazards make me cautious about heating wax without effective ventilation.
Anyone interested in using cold wax might like to look at oilandwax.ning.com/ for helpful advice.
My objective is to use images that look as though they are memories of the past and I have to say that everything I have tried so far is a disapointment.
I hope to look into using resin next.
