despite the rain

a good weekend was had (been wanting to say that for a long time). it was cool so i could concentrate on working and not sweating.even wove for a long while!

finished this lutradur  piece that had been waiting for better times. painted and stamped background,pieced woven scarp from this project -nothing goes to waste-machine and hand stitching and puff paint. really like those voids!

i want to explore puff paint further, would like to

do something to erase that school craft hour look.

looks like a good initiative

and they hold workshops. meanwhile enjoy the textiles.
and have a midsummer weekend fest!

more paper

lol! i can't even link my own photos in instagram. that's the price of privacy. 

 however, people find ways and then you see your photos in pinterest  >:(

but i digress; another paper work this time beaten kraft paper, treated with graphite powder, bronze paint and then treated with patina activator. it was stitched with copper wire(difficult!!) and patina activator was painted on the wire. there's also a bit of scrim ( cheesecloth-yum!) at the bottom. i wanted to create a trompe'oeil effect with the copper stitching and also reflect some of the wrinkles on the paper.

the photo is in the artsy fartsy category so no crispness or sharp detail, but lots of filters. bear with me.
