Canvas to the Imagination

20 Dec

As the crow strolls

December 20, 2006

Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.

~ Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

A detail of a large drawing I made in the studio last week on 11” x 14” black Fabriano paper. It did it as a warm up exercise rather than as work for some end purpose. I’m trying to work on my daily creative practice and worry less about results.

I started working on my embroidery sampler again this week. I added the section of green seed stitch one evening, and the section of red picot stitches over a few days. There are sixteen of them. I began this project in the fall and have completely forgotten what I was planning to do but I’m going to keep adding stitches.

I’m focused on admin task at the moment and haven’t been creating much over the past month. I decided to return to daily practice on Monday by working on something small every day. I restarted an embroidery project the first two day, and worked on this drawing in the studio yesterday. The creative fires must be fueled!

Hello friends! A happy new year to you all. I’ve been struggling with the start of this year and haven’t felt at all optimistic about the state of the world or my little corner in it.

This is me at my work Christmas party yesterday evening. I’m wearing the thrifted dress my talented friend @misobarb helped me alter earlier this week. She’s much better at sewing than I am, and I could not have done this without her. The dress was originally an XL size that I purchased at a consignment store on Salt Spring Island with the intent of altering it to my size. The vintage kimono fabric is the reason I had to buy it in the first place.

Happy Friday! A detail of a sculpted paper assemblage piece I’ve been working on in the studio this week. It’s an idea I’ve had in mind for a while that I wanted to get down in paper, and I think it has worked pretty well.
