Surprise Inside

nobody@vox.com(Rosemoor) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 23:22:34 -0800

Over the years Cracker Jacks has had many different surprises in their packages. I used to love finding mine in the bottom of the box just as much as the munchkins do today. I also used to love gold nugget gum, because the bag was a prize in its...

I've been researching "Paris in the 1600's" for the fabric art book class. We are going to make a mock castle to go on one of the pages. I've chosen Chateau de Cheverny for it's lovely symetry. It was comissioned by Marie de Medici, the mother a...

Fall Colors

nobody@vox.com(Rosemoor) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 03:57:41 -0700

I've woken up to fall being here with the new colors in the trees. The reds and golds shimmering in the late sun have been tickling at the edges of my vision, cajoling me to like fall. The birds must have flown south. Their nest was unoccupied b...

I've been hosting my mother this week. Not by our choice,but delightful all the same. She fell down a flight of stairs and fractured her ankle, so we've been working on projects with her leg elevated. All of my current art is in a "middle" sta...

Pockets

nobody@vox.com(Rosemoor) — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 00:10:02 -0700

Have you ever thought about where your pockets first originated? When you look at drawings of ancient togas covering Greeks and Romans, they don't have pockets sewn into their clothing. Once you reach the Middle ages, they appear. However, inst...

Dancing in my head

I had a little doll dancing in my head this week. She simply wouldn't let me go until she was made. She's not finished, but all of her parts are there. Finally, she's out! Once out however, I have to start thinking about her clothing. What d...

To bean or not to bean...the salsa

I know it seems like we are always eating at our house. Photos of food grace this site as often as the art does. It's true, we like to eat good food, and with the number of mouths in this house, there's a lot of it that goes through these doors...

Change of Seasons

nobody@vox.com(Rosemoor) — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 02:35:32 -0700

I've started artwork in the first fabric book, and I really like it! I had actually been struggling with how to cut a canvas without having it being pulled apart by the tension required to keep it stretched. By creating a canvas book, it elimin...
