While I haven't posted since December, I have been working. Jan 4, I started a new workshop with Susan Purney-Marks titled "Cloth to Codex". This workshop involves working with both paper and cloth, with the ultimate goal of producing unusual books out of both. The work has been somewhat new to me, and the homework load somewhat heavy. At the same time I have been trying to get up to speed with my goal of sketching as frequently as possible, aiming for producing something everyday. Not that I expect to achieve that any time soon!
However, this week the load has become les demanding, and I've found time to work on producing something for the Gwen Fox show scheduled for May 2021. Here is the latest piece. Again I started with a piece painted with thickened dye. I had every intention of doing some beading following the abstract circles of fuchsia toward the top of the piece. But when the piece was FMQ'd, and ready to bead, I couldn't find any bead, in my rather extensive collection, that added anything to the design of the piece. Today I put a narrow border around it and attached it to a wrapped canvas. It is 16 by 20.
Another reason for the delay in posting, is that, when my computer did some upgrades recently, I lost the ability to download photos from my camera. I am now working from a system that sees me download to my husband's computer, send the photo to me via e-mail, and then try to save it in my computer. Today, for the first time, the system worked. I really need to figure out a better way to do this.
