Once in a while I’ll pull out an old piece of fabric from a worn out piece of clothing and create a new piece.
This doll is created from my favorite teaching shirt which eventually fell to pieces not long after we arrived in the US.On my desk yesterday I found a jar of gifted metal pieces and the spring nose was a starting.Somewhere in my mind is the suggestion that I make a 4 ft figure that I’ll be sharing in June and also the memory of visit Jan and Chris Hopkins Studios last week.May be this figure will be the start of that process.
One of the most interesting swaps that I particpiate in is the Destash swap.What one crafter no longer requires can be another’s treasure trove.It morning I received just such a box full of paper (rebound my journal),Buttons beads, washi tape,zippers,yarn and other crafty supplies to supplement my future creations
has taken to share with the group.I’m very much looking forward to their reaction when we have an art travel to SAM next week.
The New Year still sees me settling into our new home,routine and studio space.Enjoying making new family traditions and holding onto some older ones to.I managed to wear down my old laptop so have a new machine and Windows 8 to explore.
