Hello,

This week has been a full one for me.     I had a trunk show on Tuesday and it went well.    I had 30 of my works in this presentation and Knight of the Garter  was one of them.

 

 

 

This is a very nice close up of Cave  Men that one of the observers took and sharded with me.   Pulling work for this event meant that  I do a bit of a review of the connection.  I need to move some work out of my life so I am exploring options for that in the future.

 

 

Noel’s Needle Work group meant this week and  we had a good time.    Noel is working on a portrait of her Mom.

 

 

 

 

 

Sarah is finishing a work that really  shows off her stitches.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Liz, Victoria and I were all doing hand work on the Finding Fragments pieces.

 

 

 

 

 

The Pixies meant and we had our usual lively conversations.  Then this morning I made a drive were I picked up my work plus that of three of my friends from the Schweinfurth.  Both Ends of the Rainbow closed on Sunday.

 

 

 

From there I made my way to Artistic Impressions were I passed some of my Altered Barbies to Susan for sale in her shop.

Dragon Fly Barbie is set to be suspended on nylon string.

 

 

 

 

This a Mermaid with a paper Mache’  rock.

 

 

 

 

 

Medusa is one of my favorite subjects and when my friend Adam gave me these wonderful plastic shapes I just had to use them.

 

 

 

I played a bit with this ” Barbie Chick”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then I tried a Sphinx just for fun.  I printed hieroglyphics on the tissue paper that I used to build up the body and then I painted it lightly so they could show through a bit.

 

 

 

 

With the  Harpy  I used squeezy paint to build the surface and then painted over that to unify it.

 

 

 

Then due to the fact that I had lots of left over legs I made the Black Widow Spider.

 

 

 Progress Report: SAQA 100 Day  BV Blocks   I am still quilting away on this project.   I tend to do this at the end of the day when I don’t need to concentrate too much, so it does not get a lot of attention.

Ethel 4   The binding in now on this work.   I will do some additional quilting for stability and it will be done.

 

 

 

 

 ART Block- SAQA 100 days  Block design 3  I am building the new blocks now and I only have five more cut that I intend to put together before I will change the size.

 

 

Handwork on the Finding Fragments pieces    This is the project I was working on at the Noel’s Needle work meeting.  I also work on it in the evenings.

Coral Shores I  just keep adding to this surface and I am enjoying the process.

 

 

 

Barbara Blocks  I now have put together all the leftover blocks from the first SAQA 100 day challenge  project.  I think this will become a small quilt or a pillow.

I hope that I find time to finish something this week.   At this point it looks to be a bit calmer.

Keep Creating

Carol
