 This took a physical toll on me but I really enjoyed this series!  The finished side sewing project for January. I stretched the piece over a small 4x4 inch frame. The plan is to pick a different color scheme each month and just have fun with the texture and bling...then at the end of the year display the twelve pieces together.

 I haven't been going anywhere but I needed to go to Michaels and a couple of other places so...DOUBLE MASKS!  We decided to take advantage of the cold weather and our fire pit out back to do a Friday night bonfire. Only problem is...neither one of us is very outdoorsy.  Middle pic- I am spending the first class back to face to face learning going over my rules and procedures because it has been so long- and also Covid safety protocols. I wanted the students to also have a small art project to take that home that day so we are making bookmarks, which works out well since media was added to their Specials lineup this nine weeks. To maintain my distance (and not 'hover') I am creating their tassels at my desk under the doc cam- which they LOVE. I take orders like my waitressing days, finding out what color they want and then go make it- they watch the screen while I work, and while they work. I felt a little rushed so I am making some extras to have on hand. Milky approves.  SO much cleaning...wearing my face mask more now just for added protection...I also added a trash can at every table to limit student movement...oh, and daily art.  For whatever reason it is easier for me to edit and record my Loom videos at home so...it extends my work day. And the daily art? That never ends. (although I am rethinking all of this sewing because my shoulder is killing me!)  Starting the day with my 'art date' with myself...also braved the cold so the kitties could have their 'porch time'- they love it.  ...just some closeups...I am obsessed with these pieces!  Yay! Amber stopped by to visit my art! (she is doing the Artist's Way book study, too!)  ...we found a good spot to watch the sunset...oh, and will you look at this BEADING?! This is a tiny scrap of a piece I picked up in a thrift shop in California years ago...I added it to my daily art and then made it blend by adding some light beading all around it.   I just kept thinking about this beautiful poet and her words...and that YELLOW JACKET. So I looked through my Ankara fabrics to see what I had that might work....and yes, I got a little carried away.   ...just some of my fibers pieces over the years, from left to right, top to bottom- hand dyed fabrics from grad school...one of my pieces from my graduate show, a mixed media piece that combined painting with hand dyed fabrics and beading...my Sept 2019 heART fundraiser/daily art...stitching a quilt top at the Hermitage...current side sewing project...another heART...close up of quilt top from the Hermitage...indigo/shibori workshop at KCAI...and a close up of one of my current beaded pieces |
