Round-Up Thursday!
Renee shares her extraordinary textile works on her website. Through hand-felting and embroidery, Renee “draws with fibers”. Her work is gorgeous…but don’t take my word for it!

Day 5: Saturday, 01/06/07
Tom’s birthday!
We woke up early again, this time to the loud sounds of an animal scratching in the roof of our cabin. We poked around, but couldn’t find it or get it to stop, so we gave up and got up! Mike went out in the yard to wait for Dani and […]
Now that all my beloved leaves are truly down and gone, I’ve started to scrounge for other natural elements that I can use in my work. We’ve got a fair number of grapevines in and around our woods, and I really love those little tiny tendrils that spiral themselves around anything nearby.
One thing led to […]
Wacked-Out Wednesday
I found a really fun blog while I was surfing around this afternoon! It’s called On My Desk, and Linzie invites creatives types in all fields to share what’s sitting on their desk or in their workspace. When you get right down to it, It’s really only a great excuse to snoop into […]
Martha Stewart has thrown her hat in the ring! Don’t waste that left-over wrapping paper (especially not the papers that you’ve so carefully painted and hand stamped yourself ;-) ) Make lovely, tasteful, extremely complicated paper stars instead!
If Martha’s not your style, visit PaperSnowflakes.com and pick from the myriad of patterns that they share!

Technique Tuesday
Just like last Technique Tuesday, I’m going to share the actual paints that I used to make this background paper, but please feel free to substitute as you wish!
Wet a heavy piece of watercolor paper. Again, I used 140 pound cold pressed paper.
Apply a thin glaze of Quinacridone burnt orange acrylic paint. Before […]
Still Day 4: Friday, 01/05/07
Out to the house, finally! The kids are in the middle of game time, so we join in.
Dodgeball, or Matado
I did a little bit more work on the school books with help from Gladys, but supper still came way too soon. Tom and Noe hadn’t yet returned from a trip […]
…you realize that there’s a whole new generation of fractal-generating software that you know nothing about! Feast your eyes on Rajahh’s Webshots albums full of flame fractals. Rajahh uses Apophysis, open-source software created by Mark Townsend.

Make Art Monday
Out of the Mist
This is a digital piece that uses the background paper that was featured in last week’s Make Art Monday (the top one). There’s also a layer of rocks in there…a close-up that I took in a cemetary, but a different cemetary than where the angel lives. She comes from Lynchburg […]
I’ll be hosting a blog carnival here on February 8! Please submit any posts that you’d like included to Carnival of the Creators by February 5 :-)
