Started something new over the weekend, inspired by a Scott Robertson doodle. The shaping felt good (on the right), so I've moved on to iteration (on the left).
Challenges ahead: I plan to utilize Dark Green for a key color, but the only readily available plate is 2x4. Yikes!
An upcoming doll of mine I'm working on to sell as well she needs doesn't need to much to have a complete face up
So here I was intently measuring in 16ths the exact center of a pendant so I could attach the bail, when Jake, who is nothing if not enthusiastic about everything, jumps down from the interior window ledge just out of frame, throws himself down, flailing with delight, offering up his belly for a rub, while around him havoc ensues and everything goes flying. Everything!
There is nothing for it but to grab anything critical, laugh, hope for the best...and of course, give Jake a belly rub and a kiss.
L’Umarell, il pensionato vedetta, una vita da controllore di cantieri.
Ogni cantiere stradale che si rispetti deve essere presidiato, seguito e diretto da uno o più Umarells.
L’Umarells non ha sesso né età , è una condizione dell’animo.
Umarell si nasce: una missione che ha radici sin dai suoi primi anni di vita. Purtroppo, sino alla sospirata pensione, l’Umarell non ha potuto svolgere a tempo pieno il suo compito di vigilanza perché lavorava.
Ora, affrancato dagli impegni, può dedicare tutto il suo tempo libero al controllo dei cantieri.
La sconfinata onniscienza, dispensata quotidianamente attraverso il suo verbo, è fonte d’ispirazione per gli operai del cantiere.
L’umarel non è geloso del suo mestiere anzi, come si può vedere dallo scatto, cura la formazione delle nuove leve e tramanda l’esperienza di padre in figlio.
Workin' on some postcards for Val. Day postcard swap. I think I may add some gesso to "pull" this busy collage together...
p.s. this is an altered card..the original is a very large childrens playing card.
took me forever to come up with the right size template to make handmade envelopes. i finally got it right, but then i glued several of them shut!
Been working on this one for ages. Well I admit I've only spent about 4 hours on it but the head time and procrastination is more like a couple of months.
I'm embarking on a new project and for this I need a background.
This shows a layering of hand dyed fabric
just discovered i can put these straight into a wall in a hole made with a pin. Would like to make hundreds, a whole wall of them.These are in my studio.
Ahora que los novios ya tienen las muñequitas puedo enseñar un poco más del trabajo de las matrioskas. La semana que viene más, que ya no será ninguna sorpresa para las invitadas, como podéis ver no hay una igual, me ha encantado hacer este pedido...
I was given a sheet of magazine scraps which had been applied to a background in a haphazard manner and was asked to use this as a source of inspiration!
I find this sort of challenge VERY difficult as I usually work to an idea, not an image.
After a mild panic I decided to gesso the whole page in an attempt to tone down the images and then I used it to create a folder which I then die cut and embossed.
I then grabbed the scrap bag and started to machine embroider images which started to leap from the page.
This is one sample.
