Finished off another basket this week. I will eventually have paintings to show off again soon - I have several in the works just not much time to paint.
For this basket I used a handmade pottery plate that a friend of mine made for me. She made it with the holes already there and I love the seashells!!! The plate is about 1/4 inch thick which is perfect for the core I use also - the core doesn't slide up and down like it can with some of the old plates I have been using.

We had friends in town last weekend and while the boys were out and about us gals went over to the studio and tried printing cyanotype onto a couple silk scarves. I hadn't tried cyanotype on the silk yet. They turned out pretty nice!!!
I will probably incorporate a silk scarf into my next cyanotype class.
Have a great day!!

I taught a cyanotype class the end of January and these are some of the prints I did in class along with my students. I was using some recent photos of mine to print from and we also printed some small canvas bags.
It was a cold and windy day - not the greatest for making prints - the photo prints weren't working very well but they all got lots of regular prints to take home along with the canvas bag.
Have a great day!!

Another basket using a vintage plate for the base. Tried something new with the design and tried to make trees in the background.
Fun little basket to make - its about 11 inches round and 2.5 inches high.

I did this painting for friends of mine who lost their sweet pup to a dog attack just before Christmas. The background is encaustic and then I used a photo printed onto tissue paper and added encaustic over the top to define and add texture to the pup. I also printed out copies of the paw prints that the vet gave them and incorporated them into the painting on the blanket and in the background.

Haven't gotten much studio time lately but have managed to get some baskets done working and hour or 2 every evening while watching TV with the hubby.
This basket is about 3 inches tall and about 10 inches round..

I made this locker hook rug for my son because he had left one in storage at my house when he moved to NYC and I ended up using it for my patio.
The rug is about 2.5 feet wide by 4 feet long.
I really need to do a few more rugs and finally use up my stash of fabric.
Planning to teach a locker hook rug class here in April so that will help a bit.
Take Care
