Another Face for Friday

I have pulled out another piece of art from my archives.  This is unfinished - and may possibly remain that way. 

I like the soft and slightly mysterious nature of this piece.

Of course some days you just have an urge to make something.

I had that urge during this week. So, I decided to make a notebook cover.

These fit a standard size composition book, so they are very easy to refill once you have used up the composition book that it in it.

Over the years, I have sold a number of these notebook covers (notebook included) to people across the country.  I have also had them sold in an art gallery.  One wish is that I would see someone with one of my notebooks "in the wild."  I would want it to be someone who doesn't know me.  Ha ha. It would be fun to see their face when I said "I think I made that!"

Fun Art Detour

Some days you just need a fun art adventure. 

I pulled out some pre-fused fabric pieces and played. 

This is what I came up with. 

This is simply a fused fabric abstract collage. 

As the artist, I invite  you to find your own meaning in it

OR

just enjoy the interesting design of it.

On the Way

Yes, this quilt is on the way to a finish!  I am excited about it.  During the process, I ran out of the fabric that I was using to join the blocks.  No Problem!  I took a page from my grandmother and said "What do I have that will look okay with it?" I saw a lovely batik in a similar colorway.  Bonus!  I apparently bought more than a yard (??maybe 3 yards???)  So that is what I used to join the remainder of the quilt blocks together.  There was easily enough to make the binding also.  

Here are a couple of photos of the folded quilt with the prepared binding. 

The big feature of this quilt is not the piecing but rather the actual quilting.

I did lots of free motion quilting practice and saved all of my pieces. 

Some of them, like the one below, are quilted with different threads. 

I will be happy to have this quilt on my bed once it has the binding added. 

I even remembered to baste the label in place so I don't forget to add it.

Friday Face

Another week has quickly passed.  Friday has arrived and I am sharing a painted face from years ago. So long ago that I don't remember the year (pre-2006 though) I took a watercolor class with Janet Rogers. She is a brilliant artist and is very skilled in watercolor portraits.  I learned a few things but never got great at it.  During the class we did paint some portraits.  Here is one that I consider a "fail" - although failing is part of the road to success.  

I doubt that the model would recognize herself, but at least the painting looks mostly human. Ha ha. 

Recently I was playing with AI art again and created this fun Art Deco inspired face picture. 

In other news, I have the quilt I was working on in the last post  put together into one large quilt. At this point I need to choose and sew the binding to finish it.  No photos yet.
