Plus size inches…
these are all the inches before I divided them up ready to send out… I used words taken from the poem ‘Whats in my journal’ that I talked about earlier… I attached my inches tothe front of some card onto the back of which I had printed the full poem… the following picture shows one set of mine plus three of the sets that I recevied in exchange…
the exchange was arranged through a Yahoo Group Fiber Art Traders…
My studio… or lack of…
While having my morning coffee.. I thought I’d better check on the list of swaps that I’d signed up for…. this sent me into a ‘bit’ of a panic… so I turned to ‘my studio’ ready to start.. the sight that greeted me really did send me into a panic…
think it’s time for a tidy up… then maybe I can start on a few of the swaps I’ve signed up for…
Hadn’t realised it was so long…
I really hadn’t realised it was so long since i last posted anything…. however.. I did see an interesting thing on Stitching with Schnauzer and Siamese
it was the above… I thought it was just what I needed….
there are a few quotes on Stitching with Schnauzer and Siamese that I’ve made a note of
“I hate flowers – I paint them because they’re cheaper than models
and they don’t move. “
Georgia O’Keefe
I’ve been adding texture to my pictures using fabric/tissue paper and feathers then adding paint /pastels / food colouring… and I’ve ended up with a lot of flower pictures… so I think I may well add this quote to one or two of them… they are still just experiments in my sketchbook….
these three pictures are still work in progress.. they now need some details adding… something I’m really not very good at doing…
I’ve also add a couple of pages to ‘you are the truth’ journal project…. art – activism – change
not a very good picture… I really must learn more about digital photography… I wrote the following
‘…to confront a person with his own shadow is to show him his own light…’ Carl Jung
‘the truth about the parts of yourself you love are easy to tell… but what about the truth that lives in the shadow of darkness within… can you confront your own shadow?’… soul at play
the journal is now on it’s way to Beth in Orkney…
well that’s it for now… however.. it’s good to post something again… so I’m sure I’ll be back soon…
