I have been moving forward positively on many fronts. A fellow artist (Stephanie Mckay of Rivulette,rivulette.blogspot.com) and I have been tromping around town looking for the perfect art making home for our creative endevers. A studio, with ample space and convenient to down town Burlington. The catch, it must be very, very affordable. We have seen a few and expect to see a few more on Monday. Perhaps soon the Flying Turtle will have a place to bed down.
This past week I have been in major book production mode. I have finished eight so far. Many have paper quilt collages on the covers, and decorative longstitch bindings. I keep developing new designs which keeps the stitching exciting.
Last night I came home very inspired from a brush-making workshop at the BCA clay studio where I learned how to make real animal hair brushes. The focus of the class was to make brushes for glazing potter. I am also very excited to experiment with the brushes for watercolor painting.
Well, guess I'll sign out and see which way the next breeze blows me. I am excited to see where this new year is headed.
eliza! i'm so excited to find a space to share! I love what you've done this week- the books and brushes are fantastic. I love all the intricate stitchwork on the books.
ReplyDeleteWow, our first comment. I am also getting very excited about studio possibilities. I am glad you got to see the books and the brushes. I have been experimenting with the brushes this evening with watercolors and they are so much fun.
