Here are images of the covered piece. Looking a bit like alien tissue samples or possibly dragon. Hummm….. another world! close up look: the flip side: Lighting and framing to come. Picked up some short LED strips at IKEA on Sunday. Think they will work just fine except the cords are so horribly long. Shortening?Continue reading “Portals project: day 6?”

Portals Project: day 4
Today was about tubes: getting them covered, secured and starting the sewing process. Where I started this morning: Nothing terribly new… Close up of the coffee paper: Covering a tube. Kind of reminds me of cow trachea or a caddis fly during their water stage. All three tubes covered: it will get better in aContinue reading “Portals Project: day 4”
Portals Project: day 3
Today was a paper testing day. Since I have only produced three sheets of the coffee dyed paper I wanted to use some of the heavily textured (& no coffee) paper as a trial for gluing techniques. Back in August I created a “panel” to demo my concept. Now that the main work is inContinue reading “Portals Project: day 3”
Portals Project: day 2
So, I’ve reached a break in the day and thought progress photos were called for. Plus my fingers hurt from wire work! Here is today’s progression: Finished attaching 16g wire to staples and started stringing 22g across surface. Tunnel starts… 3 tunnels attached… Now I have to figure out how many total to create andContinue reading “Portals Project: day 2”

The clock is ticking towards the delivery date in November for the Arts Center’s Winter Show & Silent Auction. This years theme is “Portals” .

Portals Project: Second idea in the works
Last month I agreed to participate in the November/December show at the Arts Center. This years theme is “Portals”. Wow, where do I head out from there? Actually I currently have two projects in the works and both are very different from each other. Project #1 involves wire armatures & pig gut. A definite comfortContinue reading “Portals Project: Second idea in the works”
Sculpture finds a home!
Site specific installations. What do you do with them AFTER the show ends? Somehow, I never envisioned what to with the sculpture after our month finished. Initially I had thought about building it in sections to make it easier to pull apart, but the sections kind of grew together and were papered over. Now whatContinue reading “Sculpture finds a home!”
Artists@Work: Final day images
The final show day was pretty laid back but filled with sparks of excitement. The first spark was due to Julia selling her second work during the exhibit. She was so surprised and honored! Congratulations Julia!!!! I really liked this piece. Our space felt more open, clean and ready for tear down at 5pm. IContinue reading “Artists@Work: Final day images”
Artists@Work: End of our Month
Hard to believe our time is ending. Wednesday will be our final day together as the show wraps up. I have really enjoyed spending so many hours in the Arts Center Studio with Julia, Elaine & Kendal. I’ll save my wrap up thoughts until another entry. Here are the photos of our “studio space” cleanedContinue reading “Artists@Work: End of our Month”
Artists@Work: Day 17
Today was the last Saturday of our exhibit and the Seed Pod workshop. Not knowing how many people would attend the workshop or how to deal with people coming in at different times was hard, but my two helpers did an excellent job! A total of 15 people came to play in paper, including theContinue reading “Artists@Work: Day 17”
