Thirty

A birthday number. 
(The 0 is the wee circle at the bottom)

Three: Card and Gift Bag

It started with the card. I wanted to make the 3 a tactile experience. I found the soft grey fabric and it said raccoon. Only option really was to make a gift bag. 

All Set To Go

The exhibit is ready and I am assured that the music and poetry are as well.

You can see the art over here (Gallery - Scenes From Childhood) (but you knew that).

Added a wee bit of colour. Embellishment.

The Scenes Paintings: Decisions 6

The paintings needed some shade; every life has some darkness. 

The Scenes Paintings: Decisions 5

I wanted an open mesh overlay. Something to add depth, texture and complexity to the fog. I experimented with a few things: screening was too small, other things weren't pliable enough. My solution was to knit up a piece of fabric with some hemp string on really large needles. I could vary the colour simply by rinsing it out.
