Not sure I'm loving the pink wedge - I did a light and dark of each color, and my thought was that light red is actually pink, but I'm not sure I like that. Maybe a darker pink would work better there...
Lots going on in the studio on this wet and windy day.
I'm experimenting with some further techniques using tea bags. These are drying on some sketch book paper and they are leaving some interesting marks.
If you join two motifs together.... you get a bishops hat!! Hah.
There must be someone, somewhere who needs a miniature bishops mitre.
What if you used these motifs to create flower trumpets for an exotic flower, or even make them larger and create a bag?
Shown here on top of my Jenny Oliver chest of heads, and with my Orkney triptych.
A convenient ledge for work in progress.
I attended a class given by Anne Conybeare yesterday at Westhope College during which we looked at the work of Andre Gurtler and Denise Lach.
We had a session using a "Cola pen" which was fun, and then we did some "nonsense writing" using a medium of our choice.
I enjoy writing with correction fluid, so this is what I used, and I then ran an ink wash over it. I used cheap brown paper for the backing.
I am now translating some of the marks into stitch and making a small book to showcase the samples.
darkroom print. this was my first attempt at using filters in the darkroom. and my first attempt at using split grade printing. this was a 30 sec burn. 15 sec with 0 grade filter, and 15 sec with a 5 grade filter. still working on perfecting this print.
I want to improve my previous camera (www.flickr.com/photos/effixe/sets/72157601000121315/), so i have to design a new one.
i drew this out shape based on pictures i have seen of the abelson Omniscope but the guide film is different. It's made from polarized circular filters that will act as ball bearings with more frictions...
this first design (with illustrator...) lead me to learn SketchUp and now i'm working on it : www.flickr.com/photos/diy-effixe/6352411763/in/photostream/
Quilt top for the Doll Quilt Swap II. Made from fabric scraps I inherited from my Great Aunt Madeline.
Still working on it, but I think this should about do it. Allows for nearly full range of articulation, and for the armor layout I like without inhibiting joints.
Changed the knee, elbow, and ankle confirgurations. Also redid the forearm armoring and skirt armor mounts slightly. PROGRESS!
There's been a lot of interest in this piece lately, so I thought I'd show where I'm at with it currently. About 200 hours so far, a little more than 50% finished.
