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.

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.
