Old progress pics of the last stages of Ingenue before molding.

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.

Entirely needle felted from wool fiber, non-functional.

These photos are casual shots of components that will become a large installation piece for Bellevue Arts Museum Biennial 2012: High Fiber Diet

Just a little something I'm working on.

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.

From above. Lots of experimentation going on here :)

In preparation for a craft fair early March - easter bunnies in waiting!

Following some quite impassioned feedback from members of the commissioning consortium, I've had another go at Simm's hair (in between packing my worldly chattels/day job).

Two sessions down, one more to go! (the script says "belong to yourself"

Just waiting for a bit of colour.

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.

It will become a wide angle pinhole camera.

Just starting to gather possible ephemera and papers for a new piece which will be my contribution to the forthcoming "Adhesion" exhibition

Not sure I'm feeling this, either. Probably gonna scrap it in the morning.

Finally some more progress on Troll Bridge 2.0 thanks to the backer trailer from Snowgum Films.

not a great photo, but a fun knitting/crochet project :-) Mitered squares with a crochet edge - almost done now!

Progress - The laid thread is lovely to stitch, but boy do I dislike all those tails on the back!!!
