Wooden quilt kimono


Q: What type of art do skeletons like?
A: Skull tures

I am getting art withdrawal symptoms. It has been impossible to do any studio work for the last three weeks due to family events, visitors, arts council stuff. We did have our art reception at the ChamberPot Gallery and it wasn't easy since Nancy was left pretty much to do it all herself. Thank goodness a couple of artists helped out. Been hearing around town that everyone enjoyed it though.
People seemed to like ourwacky artball vending machine too. YEA!

Anyway, as you can see in the pic above I did do one sleeve of the kimono and will be starting the neckline and other sleeve next week. Next week is the week I get back into the studio on a daily work schedule or else I will go slightly more bonkers than I already am.

The wooden quilt is looking wonderful.
Great ... same as your new heading on your blog. Good stuff. I understand that feeling of art withdrawal..... you almost feel empty, like something big is missing in your life... anyway that's how I end up feeling.

thought you might enjoy that wolf hee! hee!
thanks lisa, angela :) I feel the same nancy, and it begins to feel like things aren't right somehow.
cedar, it is has been almost impossible to keep up with some of my fave blogs, so I hope things settle down in the next few months. I have a solo exhibit to get ready for.

The kimono on the skeleton is a vintage english patchwork from the 60's. The flat one is wood pieces sewn together.

Ouch on the Skulltures - but I laughed anyway!

I like the wooden quilt - I have been thinking of making a ceramic one myself.

I forgot to tell you that I really like your new banner.

I just knew that your wacky artballs would be a hit!

My in-laws just came into town yesterday, I'm pretty sure I'll be feeling the same way as you. I love them dearly, but I start to miss my studio.

Skulltures...oooh...*giggle*
LOVE the artwork. Your art is YOU, your hear and soul and when you can not express it, it has to be so difficult. I am glad you are now able to get back to it.

Hugs,
Sue

The kimono is developing quite nicely. Love the music and how the dancing bird changes to the style.
You are so beautiful Jafabrit xx

Thank you so much for your precious thoughts and thinking of me and my darling Nan like that.
I am sniffling my way through breakfast now - but in the deliciously bittersweet way we do when honouring someone's memory - especially when we have loved them so much.
