Tulip play

Given that I only got one tulip out of my forced tulip planting I am trying to get some mileage out of it. Here are some manipulations of one of the  images from yesterday. With more play this coudl become an interesting piece of cloth.

Art cloth work in progress

This is a detail from a work in progress. I manipulated assorted architecutral photos I have taken and combined them. Now overprinting other elements and adding subtle textures.  We will see where it goes!

Interruptions

Interruptions seem to be the bane of my existence at the moment. Today's plan is to go to the studio and move many projects forward without interruption. There was no post yesterday because of interruptions - the draft never got completed and posted.

One of the things that I DID do yesteday was try snow dyeing which several artist friends had shown examples of on facebook. It  was a good way to get rid of more snow. So I took some PDF cotton, scrunched it up, put in large plastic tub, shoveled the snow on top, sprinkled on the dye with abandon and let it sit all day with NO interruptions. The results were pretty nice. I will post some tomorrow after I get them ironed.

One of the projects that I completed yesterday was a small piece in my Line Dance: Tree Ring Patterns series.  It is digitally manipulated photo of a tree slice with lots of addtional stitching, silk screened red cracks and more stitching. I added some puff additive to fabric paint and got some raised areas which feel like paper whcih I added dimenison to the center of the ring.
