Better but not out of the woods yet

The girl is stable now but its gonna be a long road to full recovery and full recovery isn't a sure thing. It seems to be Pancreatitis. She is still in ICU we got to visit her this afternoon. She is doped up and it is good to see her not in pain, she was really hurting there for awhile. She went for a walk today with one of the techs which made me a feel a little happier.

Sometime I will get back to artwork (making and posting) but not today.

Stepping Stones

The puckering created by the first pintucks has led me to reverse pintucks in the same pattern,

still mimicing the pattern created by the shibori...

Small and Large

I don't buy myself art very often. But knowing that it was my last chance to get a piece of Lisa Call's work before she changed the prices made me take the leap. I admire Lisa greatly for both her beautifully made art and her incredible work ethic. I would like to be like her but I don't think we are wired the same way.

This is ACEO #25

It measures 2.5" by 3"

It has so much impact for its size. The detail is wonderful. It is technically perfect. The composition is powerful. I love the colors. I'm so impressed with the piece and so happy I did this for myself.

Persephone's Path 2

In a true act of Kaizen I have re-begun stitching on the second of the Persephone panels.

The piece I was working on last summer was one of the central parts of the story. This one represents the Kore, the very beginning of the story...

Persephone has multiple identities (as befits a goddess) the Kore is one of the names for her as a maiden.

but more about that another time.

I'm using one of the most blasted out pieces of discharge shiboi for this panel. I've basted it to a golden green ground (springtime/rebirth). A combo of running stitches and pintucks are being used to make a scattered diamond motif that gives it a little dimension and plays off of the very faint pattern the shibori left behind...

I'm trying to let the fabric/concept lead me down the path.
