Forward!



I am stepping forward on a new project as the first month of 2013 closes.  


The only rules: use only the things I have on hand already - spend no money.   

Tissue lame and other leftovers from previous projects litter my work table.
My design is inspired by a Dover book of medieval graphics. 
Acrylic paints and Stewart Gill glitter paint on cardboard box.
Cardboard cutouts will embellish parts of the work.   
Here is a close up of the front of the creation (far from complete at this point).
 



Hope to complete this project by the end of the week.  I will reveal the finished product the first part of March, after the annual local wearable art show.  What are you making today?

  5. Very cool looking fish Sus, and I like the "use what you have" angle. I'm doing some sashiko embroidery on a wool scarf and trying to finish some slipcovers. Making more flowers too, as I wait for inspiration on the perfect placement to finish a couple collages.
