together

Step two complete! 

The quilt top is together. I'll take a break from sewing for a bit then come back to edge it and tie it together. :-) 

February still life

This is my charcoal series of objects that are supposed  to give light, dead light bulbs, empty oil lamps, unlit candle, broken flashlight. To add some fun i painted little glow worms crawling around the bulbs and lamp oil reservoirs. One little guy is curled up like a candle flame, clowning around. Still life is good practice but they have to be fun too!

collection

My coworker needed to start a Quarter collection because she will soon be forced to use a laundromat.

 So i made her this bank. 

Tuesday art "class"

I've decided to set aside chunks of my week as if I had an art class to attend. Tuesday nights are now "art class' nights. This is my first drawing...

I'm toying with the idea of adding little glow worms with glow-in-the-dark paint. It would make it more fun! 

step one complete

All of my quilt blocks are cut! 

This memory quilt contains all kinds of prints, t-shirts, work polo, the infamous multicolored jacket, etc. It's a little bit of everything post-collage. Let's see if i can knock out this New Years resolution before it gets too warm to use it. 

plan 2014

After a huge day of sorting though all of my material horde with my nieces I have a plan for 2014. I will attempt three major sewing projects. And IF by the end of the year I have not used the material I must get rid of it! I'll keep you updated here on my blog as new art as it is made.
Happy New Year!
