Haunting Weather

I wish I could say I made this video! It is sad to see the devastation of this flood at work, but juxtaposed with the natural beauty of life happening regardless along with the haunting music, this is a work of art! Reminds me of the type of films I was trying to make in college.

Found at See Diva Run, who lives in the area. I am thankful to have been far enough away from the flooding.

Stop & Smell the Vibrancy

My word for the year is Vibrancy.

Here is a Self-portrait in fabric for the EBSQ show this month and Jen’s challenge. It is scanned in sections, will get full photo in good daylight.

started and finished today!

First Art of the Year

I started with this photo taken a couple of years ago.

Then I played with some filters in photoshop…

Then I layered some sheer white fabric over some printed white, along with some other sheer colored fabrics in places. I began the free-motion sewing to thread paint the lines.

This is what I have so far and I am not totally happy with it yet, so I will continue to play with it until I feel like it is done. Then add a border and backing.

It will also include my focus word of the year, which is ~drumroll please~

Vibrancy!

But for now, my doggie is upset that I have been in the studio for so long, so I must tend to him.

HAppy New Year!
