Thinking about Christmas? I know some very organised people who are which is why I'm busy making White Christmas Birds this week.
BIP Box in progress /WIP have a little box of goodies where one has turned into three and to keep them all together I put them in this little brown box. They almost finished. Except for the clothes. I'll keep you posted.
I found this old canvas when I was looking for something else in my attic.
It was part of the Ada Lovelace series, but in the end I rejected it as too bland.
So, I have now decided to recyle it and as you can see I have pulled some of the motifs off the canvas and I have painted over the rest.
The first layer was black gesso, then dark red acrylic and a bronze acrylic layer on top.
It now awaits another layer of black acrylic.
I just love painting over stitching and fabric and seeing something new emerge.
This is a building on Thirty-Forth Street in Manhattan. I cropped out a second crew that is filling in this mural in color. They had just started, and including them took away from the composition and feel of this shot. Postwork in PSP7
The Musk Orchid can reproduce vegetatively and so it is common to find them in pairs, clumps and groups.

The start of a new project.
There is a process which is inevitable.
This is:
The sorting of the threads.
The cleaning of the sewing machine.
The winding of the bobbins.
The clearing of the work table.
And finally, the thorough washing of the spectacles!
A very rare day alone, which I am setting aside for stitching and gardening. More of the former I hope.
once i settled on a basic design for the button i started making different types, to see what geometries work the best. I still haven't made the perfect button but we are narrowing in on something durable, consistent, and easy to construct.
mixed media collage works, in acrylic. I have been burning it up lately, and these are stages of works in progress. eventually i want to make time lapse gifs.
this painting lasted a little over a week on the gallery walls before someone bought it.
Le centre commercial
42° Sketchcrawl, Lyon-Confluence. Dix dessins réalisés entre 9h30 et 17h. Le premier dans le métro (la durée de toute la ligne!). Le deuxième au lieu de R-V : l'Intermezzo, café italien. Puis la passerelle depuis le sud, l'intérieur du centre commercial à midi. Puis le café à 13h, la passerelle et les cadenas, puis le cube orange, la boutique Joja. Puis terrasse vue sur les balcons décalés. Pour finir, à Perrache l'intérieur des archives municipales. Environ 18 courageux croqueurs présents!
I started this today, and if I am a good girl and stay off the computer, I can finish it tonight. :)
