Zine - It Had to Have Clouds

This started out with what I thought was going to be a zine about trees. All I can say is that it had something else in mind.

The first two-page spread is the one on the top right. It sat for weeks after being completed while I felt stumped as to where it could go (this was when the sky was still white and there was no quote). As I said, I thought it was going in the direction of trees, but there seemed to be a 'pull' for clouds to have a greater role.

Now there is something cloud-y on each two page spread. That said, the two-page spread on the top left may need a bit more work at some point. But it is ok, for now.

What I like best about this zine is the stained glass looking page with the drawing of a tree/sunrise and the cloud quote.

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!

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 .
