Installation Finished!

The show has been hung! It looks very nice and warm in the space that is now home to all the pieces in it. Everything went together pretty well. The only problem was the clear acrylic rods used to hang pieces wider than 2'.

For the wider pieces, the acrylic rods bent/sagged in the middle. This was totally unexpected. So, the interim fix was the use of an adhesive strip (that won't damage walls) to hold the fabric sleeve to the wall. Time will tell if it works.

The reception planning is all complete, and that happens tomorrow. Then my first exhibit begins its run!

Final Wheel-throw Pottery Batch

With this batch, I have 73 successful wheel-thrown pots and bowls...wow! That is aside from the nearly 40 fails. So over four months of classes and practice, I've thrown over 110 vessels. Florian Gadsby would be proud...as I've completed my first 100 throws that he advises getting done as soon as one can! I owe some of my learning to him and his videos (on YouTube), and the rest to the instructors, staff and students at BHC (the place I've done my work at since June). Thank you to all my teachers -- meaning all of you in one way or another!

Fine Art Restoration - video

This is an exceptional video of a fine art restoration...just beautifully done (and the music is lovely too)!

New Project in Progress

I'm working on a new project with multiple layers and shapes of different colored organzas. It is an interpretation of lighting on an ice rink...from a show I recently saw. There is a lot more stitching to do, but I like how its coming along. I'm learning organzas are not easy to work with especially when you layer them and have overlaid edges. The fabric also tends to ravel easily. This post also linked to http://ninamariesayre.blogspot.com .
