Blurb Books for 2022

2022 marks the seventh year that I've designed and had books printed through Blurb.com that are a record of my Facebook posts.  They serve as a journal of sorts for the things that have peaked my interest and/or were informational, inspirational, educational, fun,  etc. for each year.  (The social books offered through ads on Facebook typically only include those that have the most likes, and I've found many more I'd like included than what that measure would allow for.)

That said, I just finished designing a fourth Blurb book since December 4th and it is now off to print!  It contains my posts during 2022 to various art groups (on Facebook) that I want to remember.  Below is a screenshot of its cover.

The other three books recently completed include: 

    1) My 'Pastels and Poems' (work made between 2003 and 2004);
    2) 2022 My Book of Days in Facebook Posts-Vol. 1; and,     
    3) 2022 My Book of Days in Facebook Posts-Vol. 2.

It is possible that these will be the last ones I do in this way.  I've been moving more toward using my blog to share my work and the narratives about process.  It wouldn't be the end of creating books, but I'm thinking of doing different ones.  More specifics are still percolating.  So, stay tuned!

Visiting The Hague and Amsterdam (Netherlands), and Paris!

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.

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.
