Gathering together some unusual books for a forthcoming workshop.

I will be experimenting with book forms which are suitable for embroidered samples.

W spektaklu wzięli udział: artyści Opery Krakowskiej, absolwenci i uczniowie, chór i zespół instrumentalny złożony z uczniów i nauczycieli Szkoły Muzycznej I stopnia przy Specjalnym Ośrodku Szkolno - Wychowawczym dla Dzieci Niewidomych i Słabowidzacych w Krakowie.

About half way through a work in progress. The highest print is from a copper plate that I abandoned because I left it in the acid too long and it etched too deeply, which meant that all of the tone printed as pure black. Very dramatic, but no use. The lower three are from another plate. I etched it until it printed quite dark, but wasn't as horrible as the first one, and I've been burnishing it gradually to bring out highlights and more interesting tones. Also, obviously, I used blue ink for the most recent proof. Maybe I'll go back to black, though.

A page made out of hand made paper, and hand dyed fabric.

These have been part bleached and have overpainted details.

I hope to illustrate the creative and life cycle with these drawings.

hand sculpted prototype 1:6

Finally got around to updating this. I put it on the shelf awhile ago and only recently realized it was the base, not the mini, that was annoying me. Going to pull him off and sculpt a new base.

I stitched the inner ear in brown, then realized it should be pink. D'oh!

Blogged.

Most recent.

a sushi tray unfit to be eaten from as the oils in Zircote are toxic. It would damage the paint as well. [EDIT] No actually it is not toxic at all, The oils are just an added irritant to the lungs when working it. oops. And it is ziricote, double oops.

I finally got back to this quilt I've been making for Clark, buckled down and did the main piecing of it. This has been a total bear of a no pattern quilt in that there are variable lengths and widths--all to incorporate the different sized fussy cut robots. I can't believe it actually looks pretty much like I wanted it to.

torbellamonaca è un quartiere periferico di roma. situato oltre il grande raccordo anulare, il quartiere appare estraneo, più di altri, dalle dinamiche e dalle connessioni con la città. nei suoi palazzi è condensata un'umanità precaria, talvolta illegale, spesso alle soglie della povertà. tra le sue mura, a tratti carcerarie, si aprono varchi che conducono a inaspettati giardini, biblioteche, centri di aggregazione. in uno di questi varchi si è inserito il Laboratorio Museo di Arte Sperimentale de "Gli Amici", supportato dalla Comunità di Sant'Egidio e diretto dalla giovane Maria Carosio. Parte da qui la nostra esplorazione nel quartiere.

in my studio

Been stretching tea-stained watercolor paper over wood framing.

The large one is 16"x20" and the small one is 11"x14"

These were treated with a glazing medium which was rather shiny when dry.

It will be the moment of truth when I print all three together!

I'm sure I will find a few things I need to change before I can declare the print finished.

I say mostly because I'm going to add a border to it, but the blocks have been all sewn together. I'm delighted with the layout and the overall look and blending of all the pastels and jewel like colors and the beautiful pictures in the centers of the blocks.
