Stash of fabric for larger furoshiki bags

Decided on a more simple background for Oscar, will grout on Sunday.

This shows how a sketch can change an idea - usually simplifying it.

Paint, ink and pen drawing

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.

Finished off her face today. I have redone the nose about 5 times and am leaving it alone. Once black grout is added, it does tone it down and brings it all together.

I will probably do red background, Amber's favorite color.

The title is "The space between" and this should be the most experimental book I've tackled.

The front page will be altered stained glass, and you can see here the start of some Lutardur pages. I've coloured these with Koh-in Noor paint and cut out a design.

 

Alabaster, Spanish Boulder. 30"

Another sample in my political jewellery range.

This time I have machined an acetate ink jet print of Clegg and Cameron on to dyed and pieced calico and then backed it with quilted ribbons.

Mixed media.

Fabric, ribbon, acetate, paint and stitch.

i want to make more coats for the girls and for dollyrockers. i figured out the pattern i used and the approximate alterations i made to it (although the collar is still too big and there is something funny about the neckline). i'm also going to use wool felt at least for some of them, and they will have various closures and decorations -- the tomato red one is plain because it's not done.

Rough Draft of a poster I'm working on to introduce a new variety of Grapefruit, any comments would be appreciated

Ken displayed his rosemaling artwork at the Zumbro River Art Splash.

I belong to the exhibiting group "Adhesion" which is mentored by the wonderful Angie Hughes.

We are trying new ideas to help us free up our thinking and our current project is proving rather difficult to translate into anything concrete.

The idea is to sit for two ten minute sessions in silence, and record the noises heard, using any means you chose. One ten minute period should be in a quiet envoironment, and the other in a quiet one.

These recordings have to be translated into a visual form.

Here I have bonded silk on to a cotton background, and then I have cut the silk with scissors into similar squarish shapes and glued these on to a watercolour paper background. I have turned some of the squares round so that the light catches them in different ways.

Now I have to decide how to represent the noises I heard!

This is a large watercolour pad measuring about 18inches by 12 inches

WIP of two 12x12" canvases. Acrylics. 2014, Windham, Maine. Homespun "easel" of repurposed wood I found in the barn. Also, loving using the little wooden troughs for brushes, etc.

the eye lids are sewn. eyeballs aren't secure (or focused for that matter)

 

stll needs: arm sculpting, eyes focused, attaching nose & ears & deciding on which hair to use.
