Zine - About Me Challenge

Krys Kinsel (@kryscolour on Substack) recently challenged readers to create and post a mini zine about oneself. It could be made in any form: story, comic, mixed media, etc., but should be general in terms of information shared. This challenge peaked my interest and arrived in my feed at the perfect time. So, last night I had some creative fun!

From my stash of folded blank zines that have recycled art on the cover, I made this. It has intimations of the various creative activities I've done over the years...some of which I still do.

If you were making a zine to tell others about who you are (keeping it general), what would you include in it, and how would it look?

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 .
