Little Blondie
(click to enlarge)
Blue Girl
Magic is in the Air
Red Circle Folkart Angel
So I've been trying to work in lots, to keep me focused. These last 2 weeks I've been working on about 14-15 or so. The rest are also nearing completion. Magic is in the Air, Blue Girl, and Red Folkart Angel are all on wood-(7x7 and around 7"diameter). Little Blondie is on wrapped canvas(about 5"x5"). Except for Little Blondie, they have multiple layers of paint, tissue paper patterns, artist papers, maps, etc..Then they were distressed/aged /sealed. Little Blondie is painted, not collaged.

I think that next week I want to work w/my fabric. Some great finds at local thrift stores...all washed up nicely and shrunk when woolen. Then maybe my jewelry cache, or miscellaneous finds to collage/alter...
I also decided to let the family deal with my painting in the kitchen, 'til my studio is done(we haven't even started). Because, if I keep on waiting for the perfect chunk of time, it just won't happen. Don't worry I keep it all clean-organized little piles when necessary. Luckily, for the painting, my kitchen is big.
There just isn't enough light in our basement yet(has to be wired).
Hand sewing is done in my bedroom on my bed. Machine sewing is done on my dining room table. All this is make shift 'til I can have my studio. The house is plenty big. Have just had a few 'things' on the plate for quite a while. Hubby's ongoing Lung Cancer, my Lyme Disease, 3 kids(2 in college, 1 in middle school)...3 kitties...
The acute Lyme disease was very difficult before, but I have so much of my energy back at this point. When you've had untreated Lyme Disease, and get a bull's eye, it comes on very acutely. Just that, all 3 bull's eyes, were right outside my front door/yard. Have to put out these Tick Tubes by Damminix 2x a year. Not all of my energy is back, and I can get wacked out tired, so have to watch the late night candles.
I like the Blue Girl. She seems to be the favorite out of the latest. What do you think?
