I need to figure out the how and the what as far as display is concerned. That keeps changing. ]]> http://www.sonyaphilip.com/waw/2010/02/felt.html http://www.sonyaphilip.com/waw/2010/02/felt.html Thu, 18 Feb 2010 08:17:18 -0800 Enjoying both the process and the products of this series.

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.]]> http://www.sonyaphilip.com/waw/2010/01/sketchbook.html http://www.sonyaphilip.com/waw/2010/01/sketchbook.html Tue, 05 Jan 2010 22:13:49 -0800 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.]]> http://www.sonyaphilip.com/waw/2010/01/looking_forward.html http://www.sonyaphilip.com/waw/2010/01/looking_forward.html Sat, 02 Jan 2010 20:36:35 -0800 A day in the studio with my serger and a stash of wool and cashmere sweaters I've had for years. ]]> http://www.sonyaphilip.com/waw/2009/12/sewing.html http://www.sonyaphilip.com/waw/2009/12/sewing.html Sun, 06 Dec 2009 21:28:19 -0800 When life intervenes, making you languid and noodle-like and you don't work for the better part of the month, even though you know something big is just around the corner. You might be tempted to think, "Oh I'll just coast, show some old work. No problem." Then something happens. And there will be late nights, talking yourself down from the possibilities. ]]> http://www.sonyaphilip.com/waw/2009/10/exertion_1.html http://www.sonyaphilip.com/waw/2009/10/exertion_1.html Fri, 16 Oct 2009 21:57:21 -0800
