WORKING HARD

This summer has been a very busy time for me. I have been working hard to get the "business" side of my art career organized. this seem to be half of what I do lately. It meant getting lots of spreadsheet ready, mailing lists, galleries and show to submit to etc. I also had to get my filing straight and systems in place for promoting and putting myself out there, including mailing portfolios to galleries. On the side, I was able to begin some new works and take a few classes to bone up on some skills. A very busy summer indeed! Check out the new photos.

A digital print before I begin to alter it. This will be only one layer in a final piece.
Some watercolors and printed fabrics laid out in order to measure for digital prints. A series based on King Henry the Eights wives.....The First "IT" girls!
This is a new experiment and I am loving it. The fabric is canvas dyed with coffee and tea and rusted. Wait to see what it becomes.
This is the above one stitched together.
Back to the watercolor and printed fabric. Now you can see I am adding another layer with embroidery. Next I will add a print (the first photo) which I will paint and stitch. Finally I will stitch the pieces together and trapunto the piece.
