Felting a small dog
Harry was a funny Pomeranian cross that belonged to my nieces mom-in-law. He just passed away after 18 wonderful years with Patty and Dave. The block he’s sitting on is 5″x 5″ (12.7cm x12.7cm). I’m still very much a beginner with trying to figure out the whole armature to dog type ratio works. Harry hadContinue reading “Felting a small dog”
Angora-ish rabbit
Yesterday I managed to finish off the rabbit and I’m pretty happy with this little guy. Still have plenty more to learn! I’ll start the next rendition tomorrow. Today I completed the faces for the final batch of lamb wool dryer balls. All they need now is a wash, dry, box up and offContinue reading “Angora-ish rabbit”
Art in the hot garden
Saturday was humid and hot. Driving over, I actually encountered a pretty good rain shower, then had a touch more right at opening. With the spotting of rain, the humidity pushed way up and probably kept us from getting to 100 F. Instead we made it into the mid 90’s. The garden was spectacular and crammed withContinue reading “Art in the hot garden”
The big move: Camas installation in Halsey
The Camas are finally at their new home! So how does one move 7 panels and 8 camas 20.7 miles? Carefully and in 2 trips. Start by hinging panels. Then load in the back of the car. Take to the newly painted and roofed library building in Halsey. And start installing while having aContinue reading “The big move: Camas installation in Halsey”
Half-way done?
Motivation has been sliding out the door along with my energy levels. Yes, I get bored quickly when having to create multiples of anything and that’s probably why I attempt projects like this. It forces me to confront this problem head on. That’s probably why I never settle on just one art form to pursue. I’mContinue reading “Half-way done?”
Another one completed
Second one down, 10 more to go! I ended up disliking the paper from this particular book. It was way too thick and that lead to a lot of page prep before being able to glue it onto the forms. Note to self: test paper before going full speed ahead! I think I’ve found aContinue reading “Another one completed”
It’s Up!
The website is up and running, filled with many images of my sculptures and prints. There are still things to add (like print sizes) and some other gobble-de-gook, but I’ve finally jumped over a hurdle. Site key-word optimization to come. I’m tired of the computer today! Click on the link below to reach the site!Continue reading “It’s Up!”
Back in town
Hurray! Today was really about art. Not sorting, dumping, recycling items from my parents home. No emails (well, as of yet) or phone calls to tree cutters (ok, it was only texting… no phone call) siblings or other folks related to the family stuff. Today I went and helped hang work by members of thisContinue reading “Back in town”
Project #201
It’s actual name is the Brain Conversation #201. I find myself having lots of inner dialogs as I flesh out new concepts or work thru challenging projects. This particular piece has been in the works for several years. The invitation to participate in Corvallis Fall Festival’s Fine Arts Showcase during the month of September finallyContinue reading “Project #201”
