Something Old Something New

After catching up on most of my deadlines - new ones approach.  Working on some ideas with digital prints and ice resin today.  This one entails recycled bottle caps that I filled with the resin and floated waxed linen, digital prints on beverage cans, beads, wire and some pieces of digitally printed printers plates.  At the present moment I am crocheting one of the layer bases with 22 gauge bronze wire (from Art Mechanique).  I have no real idea of where this is going, but I have been thinking about it all week and just need to dive in.  This represents what might be 2 layers of a multi textural piece in the works!

For the something old, I have the completed journal quilts as samples for a workshop I will be teaching at the Fuller Craft Museum September 2012.  Contact me for the date  a description.

Journal Quilts

On September 15 and 16, 2012 I will be teaching a pair of one day workshops at the Fuller Craft Museum.  (More details will be coming later).   One of the workshops is Journal Quilts and since I have been working on my journal wall here and here in my studio, I have been putting together a couple of journals quilts while I work on other things. It helps me through my pondering time as I develop work.

These pieces are around 16" x 20" and the base is canvas with dyes and/or paints for coloring.  They are of course in the works and I will post some more in a bit as they grow.  I will be expanding my journal wall, but until I do, these are sitting on one of my tables to be accessible when the mood hits.
