wax and wool

It wasn't the best of years. Challenges and change would sum it up. But change can be good as well as bad. I moved into a new studio. I participated in two Open Studios, four art shows and curated one. I have ideas and things in the works for 2010. Hey ho, let's go.

I participated in The Sketchbook Project through Art House Co-op and "post card" was my assigned theme. I made a series of flower line drawings, then made gocco prints on rice paper. These were sewn on each of the pages. Some were left blank, with one petal colored in. I want to make more individual post cards and also experiment with handwriting, rather than relying on a computer font.

I love chrysanthemums. Must get sketching.

Continuing with the topographies. This time experimenting with machine sewn linen yarn on paper.
