Welcoming 2019!

Its the new year, and I've been watching the Doctor Who marathon on BBC the entire day...much better than news stations (year in review programs) and the fact that I'm not nearly as interested in college football as I once was (when the Rose Bowl was actually the championship game rather than all the bowl games that have come since that time and the College Football Playoff which is now another one).  Oh, well.  It leaves marvelous time for making art.

I started the piece in the photo last night and worked on it beyond midnight, then finished it up today.  I call it 'Wearing My Wild', and that seems like such a great intention for 2019!!  Also, thank you to my dear husband for his critique on a couple things--that I invited--before it was completed.  I really do appreciate your creative eye hon!

This project was fun, and I'm so glad to have completed a piece on New Year's Day especially since I haven't signed up for a year-long art class in 2019.  So all my art work in the new year is going to have to be self-initiated, and we'll see whether that's harder or easier over the course of the year.

Happy New Year everyone!

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.

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!

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