The show at the Arlington Central Library is coming down tonight around 8pm. So if you would like to see he 48 pieces on exhibit, I recommend getting over there soon.

Its been a slow weekend

So this weekend has been slow and rainy. So I spent most of it resting – it was prefect napping weather. I did get into the studio for a few hours and got some pieces framed, some drawings worked up for a new commission, and some prints ready for sale. So all in all it was not an entire waste.

Wednesday – September 24, 2008

I have several pieces going out in the next week for a few group shows in the area. So I spent time getting the 4 unframed pieces into frames and ready to go. I am 90% done with the job – still have to add eyelets and wire. Funny thing esterday I cut myself with my scissors while packing a box; I rarely cut myself while creating pieces. Point of this is, my bandaid came off and I can not find my first aid kit in the studio, so I resorted to using framing tape bits and pieces – I am so classy!

Today I also got the OK from a photographer to use an image they took of me to create a very cool and very large work. This one is going to take some planning – but I am really excited about it. I hope it is the start of a series.

Island (finally finished)

{click for a larger image} I finally finished the piece for last week’s illustration friday theme of “island”. So I did end up ripping apart the version I made yesterday – the material I used for the glass did not work out. That though worked out better in the end because I think this version is stronger.  I LOVE the paper I used for the cup – it has such a thatchy texture to it – looks like a woven cup. My favorite part is the pineapple (even though I am allergic to them) – I am so pleased with how the rind turned out.

Island Status – 09/22/08

{click for a larger image} Not finished yet, but close. I am waiting to see how the glass material I used sets overnight. I also need to work on a background. If I get a chance to go into the studio tomorrow, I should be able to get it finished. I am really happy with how the pineapple turned out.

More fish babies….

Well I know this is not art related, but I am too proud not to share. So my husband woke me up today to tell me there were fish babies in out small “timeout” tank. I run downstairs and I think we counted at least 12. The first group of fish babies from a few weeks ago did not make it, but this batch looks a lot bigger than the other set. With this birth we know what kind of fish they are – red velvet swordtails.

Other than that I am still feeling a bit under the weather. My sinuses feel like they are going to implode and I feel so worn out and beat up. I do know when feeling like cutting is just going to lead to an accident – and those type of accidents can be messy.
