where have all the photos gone?

Due to an unforgivable glitch between Google and Picasa Web Albums, all the photos on this blog are unavailable. While I fume and ponder my next move, I wanted to offer my apologies to readers and an explanation. I hope to be back soon. Thank you.

ps: The solution is to relink every photo again, one by one. It will take a while but I am working on it.

to their watery graves ...




This is my second interpretation of the theme Travelling Souls. As I had mentioned in an earlier post, the images just would not let go of me so I had to keep working through another piece.

a whole lot more stitching and texture ... now pondering the next stage.

It is roughly 35" high by 92" wide ... whew!

work in progress ... doodled with thread directly on the fabric while on the frame ... added paint while still on the frame ... adding tons of narrow stitched lines now ... more to come soon.

Second piece working out the technical details, construction issues, layout, background ...
More to come.

I am enjoying engineering these projections but it is difficult to capture them in a photograph. I am working out this idea on a much larger scale, although with fabric, that goes against the law of gravity. Wish me luck!

It was a lot of fun to work with these new screens. The mundane holds such appeal for me ... I have not chosen the title yet. Thanks for looking. Commenting is free!
