This book will be called "Fear".
I'm increasingly struck by the presence of this emotion in everyday life: the press and TV are awash with reports which add to this fear.
My record will involve words and images which will be contained in an individually designed folder.
Brown card, white acrylic paint, masking tape and ink.
Work in progress
About half way through a work in progress. The highest print is from a copper plate that I abandoned because I left it in the acid too long and it etched too deeply, which meant that all of the tone printed as pure black. Very dramatic, but no use. The lower three are from another plate. I etched it until it printed quite dark, but wasn't as horrible as the first one, and I've been burnishing it gradually to bring out highlights and more interesting tones. Also, obviously, I used blue ink for the most recent proof. Maybe I'll go back to black, though.
More or less the final(ish) version. User-icons had to go due to technical limits of Plaisio.gr's existing system.
Got some more done today, as usual, what you see may not stay the same. Seems like at times I have to lay down glass, come back the next day to see what is wrong.
Finally got around to updating this. I put it on the shelf awhile ago and only recently realized it was the base, not the mini, that was annoying me. Going to pull him off and sculpt a new base.
a sushi tray unfit to be eaten from as the oils in Zircote are toxic. It would damage the paint as well. [EDIT] No actually it is not toxic at all, The oils are just an added irritant to the lungs when working it. oops. And it is ziricote, double oops.
I finally got back to this quilt I've been making for Clark, buckled down and did the main piecing of it. This has been a total bear of a no pattern quilt in that there are variable lengths and widths--all to incorporate the different sized fussy cut robots. I can't believe it actually looks pretty much like I wanted it to.
torbellamonaca è un quartiere periferico di roma. situato oltre il grande raccordo anulare, il quartiere appare estraneo, più di altri, dalle dinamiche e dalle connessioni con la città. nei suoi palazzi è condensata un'umanità precaria, talvolta illegale, spesso alle soglie della povertà. tra le sue mura, a tratti carcerarie, si aprono varchi che conducono a inaspettati giardini, biblioteche, centri di aggregazione. in uno di questi varchi si è inserito il Laboratorio Museo di Arte Sperimentale de "Gli Amici", supportato dalla Comunità di Sant'Egidio e diretto dalla giovane Maria Carosio. Parte da qui la nostra esplorazione nel quartiere.

Been stretching tea-stained watercolor paper over wood framing.
The large one is 16"x20" and the small one is 11"x14"
I've been working steadily on my next exhibition piece which is entitled "Brexit - the first lie"
The background fabric is a piece of distressed black denim and I'm adding slits to this to denote the cracks in society caused by the result of the referendum.
These slits are backed with fragments of old paper which I machined over, coloured and varnished.
They will be eventually "papered over"
This shows the reverse of the fabric before the spare paper was torn away
It will be the moment of truth when I print all three together!
I'm sure I will find a few things I need to change before I can declare the print finished.
These were treated with the crackle medium which didn't work at all. It also left the image very hard and shiny so it was difficult to crumple.
I will have to look for another use for this product.
I say mostly because I'm going to add a border to it, but the blocks have been all sewn together. I'm delighted with the layout and the overall look and blending of all the pastels and jewel like colors and the beautiful pictures in the centers of the blocks.
OK, so I've got one-fourth done. It was actually kind of fun! I'm just using some random scraps, some Parisville, some AMH, some Heather Bailey, so it's going to be a serious mish-mash of fabrics, but I'm just trying it out for my bee peeps - I think this is what I'm going to ask for next month in the {Sew} Beautiful Bee...now if only I could decide on some fabrics...
