About

I am a Canadian mixed media artist, working primarily with textiles. I'm curious, eccentric and just a little opinionated. Surrealist in thought, Fauvist at heart.

No offense intended, but please do not tag me or give me awards. A comment is much more appreciated than being lumped in with 11tybajillion other peoples, as an automatic response.

Orange=saffron, popsicle orange, creamsicle orange, orange orange, mature pumpkin,flaming orange, sunset orange. Orange goes with purple and red ---of course!---with black with a slice of magenta so it doesn't look like halloween, orange and charcoal, orange and creams and ivories and unsalted butter, with moss and slate and indigo, with cobalt and chocolate and copper, rust, bronze, old gold, new gold, pewter and tarnished silver. See? It *does* go with everything.

New Stuffs

I got "some start" on the third page of my Sea of Electricity journal page this afternoon. I'm a quarter of the way through this one, and am trying a few things i haven't before: the foiling, the use of my own hand dyed fabrics, some rough edge applique and lots of spontaneity!

My Heart Current second stage!

I followed the "lines" of the dying as my quilting guide for the " electricity current", the blue areas will also have some swirly quilting as "water currents". I'm using metallicy blue and red bugle beads as "arteries" from and to the heart and the Grey area---which symbolizes both a lot of my life and my sweetheart! I'm not sure what text will go on this page or if it will have any at all. The left edge is the edge that will be against the spine of the book.

I'm slowly gelling some ideas for the inside "centerfold" of this journal---all i can say right now is that it involves a lot of my favourite colour and part of a drawing from 29 years ago!!!!!! 

 

AND new product listed in the Emporium!
