Covid Christmas

In case you were wondering what Epcot looks like during the pandemic...like this. And we even make sure to stay away from THESE people! If you have been to Epcot then you will recognize these areas, so you know how empty this is.
Picture
We still saw some Disney celebrities, just from a distance!
Picture
...lookin' for fabric...
Picture
I did something a little different- I left this piece with instructions on the back. Maybe someone else can have fun 'finding fabric'.
Picture
We love all these themed trees!!! The Star Wars one was our favorite!
Picture
...another piece left...this time on Palm Beach Island...
Picture
Got to see my brother. A little bit of distance, breakfast outside, masks when we were a little closer...still better than being 800 miles away from eachother! And despite it all we still showed up twinning!
Picture
Where is the farthest possible place we could go to social distance? Yup, Key West. Masks, hand sanitizer, staying away from the few folks that were there...worth it to have a stress free Christmas!
Picture
More hanging by ourselves...by the pool and random giant Christmas trees in Palm Beach County.
Picture
...and we stayed an extra day- to make a trip to Wynwood. We drove by the main drag at it was WAY too busy so we parked and checked out the murals on the side streets...just us and the art!

I have had my eye on this community art display at the CAM for a while. Every time I drive by I keep saying I'm gonna stop. Well, I did- TWICE! I went by just before sunset and then not too long after to get some pics.

Whatever you celebrate this season...CELBRATE! 

We are in this crazy time together and every day truly is a gift!

Picture
Hangin' with our 'Covid bubble' fam...Morgan has the most beautiful white Christmas tree. She also hosted a Hanukkah craft night in honor of our friend Jacob, complete with singing, sharing about the meaning and crafts.
Picture
My first Hanukkah dinner...thanks Jacob and Audra! Oh, and I left some art in your tree!
Picture
...and this is how I like to celebrate!

Couldn't decide on my 'fabric' so I looked around- and found it right on our mantle when I saw this piece by Palm Beach County artist Rolando Chang Barrero peeking out at me...and it's approved by Santa himself!

First art show in Wilmington!

12/4/2020

Remember in November when we did that 'staycation' in downtown Wilmington?  Yeah, we went with our 'bubble' of friends- it was so fun!  (hopefully one day that won't make sense to anyone reading this, but those of us living through this Covid mess...we know what that is) Well, due to my weird sleeping schedule I would get up in the mornings (even after staying up super late) to walk by the river front.  And one of those mornings I stopped in the Port City Java for a coffee...and I noticed there was an art display on the wall behind me.
Picture
"Hey, maybe I could show my work here"

I asked about displaying work, got the manager's card...emailed her a few days later and well, it just so happened that the current work was due to come down so guess who gets to show work?  Yup!
Picture
I decided that my coffee series from last spring would be perfect for this venue, so the cats and I got to work selecting work and prepping it for display. Luckily I already had frames on hand!
Picture
(Left) the wall before (Right) ..and after my work went up!

Another view of the wall.
Picture
Again...not your typical art show...no opening (remember art openings?!) But John and I went to see my work, got espressos and then went to dinner at a spot downtown...where we would social distance of course, we aint' trying to sit near anyone!

I titled this post 'First art show in Wilmington!'...here's hoping that there will be another opportunity to share my work, despite this crazy pandemic!  We'll see what happens in 2021!

Man, I have some good co-workers!!!! Ya'll sure know how to make a girl feel special!
Picture
I think this may be a new birthday tradition- going to look at art on my bday! I had a great visit to the Cameron Art Museum for Educator night! Highlights include the amazing lantern creations, work by Dorothy Gillespie and a reunion with my textile friend September from grad school!
Picture
Never had a bday like this, that is for sure! Masks...making dinner reservations to avoid too many people (even though the restaurant is already taking less people and spreading everyone out...) We still made it happen!

December 2020 series...

12/1/2020

I had fun with my November 2020 series but one thing I had to deal with early on was the temporary aspect of the work.  I never glued any of the leaves down, or made any attempts to preserve the work.  I actually did think about going old skool and I played around with some wax paper in the work...but it just didn't click with me as something I wanted to pursue.

So I ended up with a whole month of work that is only documented in photos, like the one below;

Picture
November 1st piece from my leaf series.

This didn't bother me as much as it would have a couple of years ago, I joke about it but my OCPD tendencies can really put me in a corner- one that I create for myself. I have loosened up a bit, and I have played around with the idea of creating work that is not 'permanent' this year in particular.  All of these cutouts that I have been making are documented in photographs rather than one final piece- although I still have most of them and can continue to recreate 'dresses' and play.  I even pushed myself further outside of my comfort zone when I did my temporary jewelry pieces this past May.  Baby steps towards not being quite so rigid.  

So I had 30 pieces from my November series, without the leaves they were just plain fashion figures on paper.  I wasn't sure what I wanted to do for December, and I also try not to be wasteful...annnnnd my stress level has been kinda high due to the pandemic and a few other things so I decided to 'work smarter not harder' and reuse those pieces from November.

Here is the first piece in the series.  I am going to use different Christmas trees and holiday decor for the 'fabric' this month.  Maybe it will help get this little elf excited about Santa coming to town!
Picture
...using that now as my December 1st piece, but I cut out the dress and did some painting.
