So obviously 'blogging' is not my strong suit. I am going to attempt to change that.
Before, my stories revolved around the studio, the kids and their work. I will continue to share the stories when fitting, but I am also going to use this format as a project log for the crazy amount of different work that I do. All of it. From the paintings to the drawings, the sewing to the sculpting. How I repurpose materials from something old to something new, drab to fab... I could go on. But I think you get the point. I am going to aim for every new piece I begin. I want to tell a small story, show a few photos and then reveal the finished product. That is my goal with this blog spot. So lets see how I do...
I started a new piece yesterday.... My first 'primitive' style hand painted table cloth. Just like with everything else I try, it was more of a challenge. There is a store in town that carries this type of decor but none of it made by local artists. That's another thing I want to change... But that's a different story for another time... Back to the cloth... I started it yesterday afternoon, hopefully it will be done today, we'll see.
As for the 'daily blog' I am hoping at least this much, with every new project (sometimes there is more than one a day) that I can keep up with this. For now though I will consider it as this, a filing cabinet for my memory.
*Quick update: the oddly placed photos in the middle are obviously the finished cloth. Took a day longer than I had hoped but well worth it! Now I can add 'primitive style art' to my list.
