2022 My Book of Days - in multiple volumes

Volume 1 of 'My Book of Days' in 2022 is now in the printing process!  As a year-in-review effort through Facebook posts, it includes an integration of blog posts.  The reason is that the blog posts displaying photos of my completed art were linked to Facebook posts.  Unfortunately, because I didn't directly upload photos to the Facebook posts, the post doesn't include the complete images of the art from the blog post.  In addition, all the narrative about the art is in the blog post (e.g. inspiration image with artist and date created, substrate and materials used, what I liked about the piece, etc.).    

The maximum size of www.blurb.com magazines is 240 pages with a page size of 8.5"x11".  This is the format the magazine will be printed in.  Volume 1 maxes out the 240-page cap, and now I'm on to producing a second volume -- to complete the year's look-back in this way.

Fabric Basket - Pretty Easy

This basket was made in Jane Hall's half-day course at IQF 2014.  The greatest amount of time involved in making it--was cutting and sewing the strips together.  Otherwise, it went together easily and quickly (3 hours). These baskets are a great holiday gifting idea that you can match to family and friends' home decoration color schemes.  They're fun and useful besides.

Highjacked Blog Photo

My profile photo was highjacked ! For those of you who are blogging, be wary. There are some unscrupulous folks out there who may be using or about to use a photo(s) you've uploaded to an online photo-hosting site. At the time I created a blog, having a URL for a photo uploaded online was the only way to insert a photo in your profile or to create a custom header. There had been no problems for a long while. This morning, however, I did a Google image search for my name and found my photo linked to a totally different blog than my own! It is possible I didn't mark my file with the online photo-hosting site as private, but I didn't expect this to happen. I don't know whether marking it private would have actually averted the situation, but I'm not waiting to find out. I eliminated my membership to that online photo-hosting service today and caution anyone to be careful with uploading images to the internet . If you read the terms of agreement at many sites, you'...

Life Book 15 - Week 36 Project Completed (or nearly completed)

This project went in an entirely different direction than the Life Book 2015 lesson.  That's ok because we're also working on accepting those times when we move in our own direction using the lesson purely as a launching point. This piece involved experimenting with collage on a substrate (muslin covered with joint compound), followed with paint, more collage, and then the felt, fabric and beaded plant. This piece was created through a class offered by Tamara Laporte from Willing Arts Ltd. For more information, visit this link:  www.willowing.org .
