I've been in the studio creating all kinds of fun stuff, having the time of my life! I have REALLY been neglecting my blog, I struggle to find the time between my three jobs and trying to get ready for my featured artist exhibit. However, I do love sharing the joy in the journey with you folks, so here goes. I can't wait to show you some of the pieces coming out! Here is one of the first sets I created:
This shows the pieces just after they were pieced: First this one,
And then the matching one. This one has some of my favorite hand marbled fabric in it that I created ages ago. It was so fun, I need to do that again! These pieces include some hand dyed commercial white on white, hand dyed fabrics and batiks. And the hand marbled fabrics as well.
I quilted them on the machine and then tossed them in the laundry.
I love that washed crinkle texture!! Then I framed them up on 12x12 canvas stretchers.
I added some details, this one has a pair of rings. One says "316" on it, so I've titled it "316."
This one has a gasket that I found in the parking lot, a washer from a trip to the junk yard and a lovely new washer from a trip to the hardware store. These little details please me very much!
And finally, here they are, the pair of them! I can't tell you how much I love my job!
I'm doing exactly what I love the most!
My kickstarter project was stuck at 21% funding for a few days. Today it bumped up to 22% and that made me very happy!
Learn the story behind the series and give me a good SWIFT KICK.
Very Happy Creating to you and yours,
