Beyond Abstract

I enjoy things that are cluttered, can you tell. This is paint and a lot of small paper pieces cut from magazines.. I want to do more, also like painting with the palette knife, just a change in my art desires.

Just a minute, I have to see what it is.

this new laptop program has smaller images, I think this is collage, and a mix of paint. It was doen some time ago.

Liking Peter Mitchev

This is like his paintings only it is all fiber, 12 different fabrics some of them neckties. The cat does not show up so much but, it is nice to see something the second time you look.

I am laughing, Carol King is singing You're So Vain" I didn't think these photos of myself were working, there was no indication they were, so I left the blog in a huff. so there I am three times. Oh well I will leave them for a day or two Have to post with a picture collage and paint, papers also.

my mess

At Sharon Tomlinsons blog y9u will see various photos of disarray, it is just part of the creating process. go see http://allnorahsart.blogspot.com/

painting, collage, 16X20

painting, collage with napkins for dress, other papers used, face and hair painted and background with additions.

A face of fiber

total fabric, created as in the previous post, 12 different fabrics.

This fabric just said hair, use this now.  I start with a factory pied of quilted fabric, then add some back ground choices,  then cut the face and neck shape, find little bits for eyes, pupils separate from the whites of eyes, often I use the wrong side of fabric, then some hair or head dress of sorts. I cut several mouth shapes, then start to sew, lots of back and forth sewing, then more additions, finally lots of top stiches.  Feel free to ask questions.  will answer in next post or an email if you leave it.

this quilt 12X14 made from recycled shirts and skirts, so nice they come with additions like sequins these quilts posted were made from Jan to March.

This is all fiber fabric thread, I think 10 choices for the composition. 

The trials of new computer, I don't understand it, that isn't quite true I do but can't get things right, I hate the ads that show on this blog on the old computer, can get rid of them for a while and new ones show up.  I don't need photos of someone else's declining behind, I can see that at home. I don't even want to see someone else's firm behind and that is because I can't see that at home.
The other thing is color of my posts are not as good as on the old.  What I did learn is the angel of the laptop screen changes the color a lot.  I see the same with the TV.
This is another fiber art face, a lot of these works are experiments,  learn as you go, the best way to learn is to do it, give it your all, give he new part of your life the best that you have, you willhave more the next time.

This is done looking at the work of Peter Mitchev, a personal item for my viewing. all fiber 12 different fabrics and different color thread.

Long time, better get with it

haven't been posting, not busy just neglectful, have spent time painting sewing, and general stuff that doesn't matter. Things that matter to me. 
Have done a lot of quilting, faces that are all fiber. I will be posting some of them.
