After four hard months of a total rebuild and extension I am now in possession of a studio. This is still a storage area pending decoration, and as I have to complete a four foot hanging in the next two days I am forced to work in a very tiny area in part of this room.
I have shown here my pin board with my "tapestry" attached to it. I am trying to position the daisy and the bottom border here. Lots more work to do!
From the kids bedroom.

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.
I'm committed to a selling exhibition next week - I thing I avoid if at all possible.
So it's down to batch production methods.
Here is the start of some of my whimsies which I make out of air dry clay and fabric.
These are tiny creatures - the largest is two inches in length.
A mock up using newspaper. I thought that I could individualise these boxes by using photographs of the intended recipients.
My drawing spot on the sidewalk across Calle Hostas from Meson de Bari. The sun was encroaching--time to finish up. July 15, 2012

Half completed items waiting for attention.
I had intended to spend the morning in the garden but a continuation of the recent heavy rain has caused a change of plan.
Stage three.
I've coated part of the canvas with gesso, mixed with some tea.
Thankfully the sun is still out, although there are ominous clouds.
I love the way that the shadows of the flower stems stand out against the background.
Caithness and Orkney are rich in Neolithic sites and the thing that struck me whilst looking at the rings and burial chambers is that these people were the ultimate mark makers.
One site, Maeshowe, which is the finest chambered tomb in North West Europe is just mind blowing. It is dated to around 5,000 years old and so it is older than the pyramids and Stonehenge.
The awesome thing about it is that later settlers, the Vikings, have covered the walls with runes which date from 1100, so you have evidence of two cultures of mark makers in one place.
This piece which is made from modelling paste on to hand made paper, with the addition of beach detritus, is my first tentative attempt at making marks.
My 1966 VW Volksrod (at the time of purchase), prior to shipment to NJ.
Lots of cutting, welding and grinding ahead of me.. :o)
Includes a 1966 body (partially chopped) on a professionally built 1962
custom pan, 1957 oval window for the rear, 4-disc brake setup, new ragtop
slider, suicide door hinges, and shaved door electro-mechanical/remote kit.
Chop on top is 4".
Plan is to rebuild and install a 1969 Corvair 110 with 140 heads and
exhaust headers, maybe a Holley four-leg intake setup, or four
single-barrel carbs.
