…over a collaged page
I did not use a photo or a model for this portrait. It’s just a fun face with eyes that are way too big and the lower portion is too narrow and not long enough. I will play with this style again.
…coloured circles and black and white ink
I stayed up late last night working on this piece and finished it when I got back from baking at the Inn and taking my three woven pieces to the art gallery.
…some pieces just take longer to complete
I love this type of art. I find the process very relaxing and it can’t be rushed. It’s a cross between Zentangle and slow drawing patterns that Amy Maricle promotes.
…on a previously prepped page in my journal
…finished just in time to enter in the next members show at WAAC
In February the members show at the Women’s Art Association of Canada is titled Monochrome Moments. After making the smaller piece on Monday evening, I decided to make two larger pieces for the show yesterday. Weaving on canvas is a lot of fun.
Both these pieces are 12 x 12 x 2 inches.
…a departure from my art journal
I really enjoy fibre arts and whenever I can add yarns and threads to my work it gives me a great deal of satisfaction. This woven piece was done on an 8 x 8 inch stretched canvas.

…to another page that I prepped earlier in the week
This page was a lot of fun. I really didn’t know how I was going to approach the marks that I had laid down but I remembered how I used to create birds from scraps of paper. I decided to use the blobs like I would paper scraps and the plaid below became a fence.
Here is what the original piece looked like.
