So it seems my posting of photos didn't work at all. I'm new to this blogging thing so you'll have to excuse me. Hopefully I can figure that out.
Anyway, things have been busy here. This week I had to plan out my last projects of the semester. They're all starting to overlap in wonderful ways. I think I'm getting to the stage where I know what I want, then I just have to find the right way to do it. I think my fibers class this semester is really helping to expand my art. We're learning how to make dyes, knit, silkscreen, felt, and use unusual materials. The assignments are really open to interpretation and the professors will agree to any project as long as you're excited about it. Fibers had a show in the gallery on Friday and I installed my crayon piece-I think I've mentioned that project before. I'm hoping to expand on that project though in the coming weeks.
I just made my first drop spine box! It was a huge success. Thankfully. It took so very long to make. It's black and sleek. I'm very happy with it. I also did my first recasing of a book! It's a new level of mending for me. It's all for this project I'm doing with a woman in a retirement home. I'm supposed to make a legacy project for her. So I decided to fix this etching book that was very important to her--she's a printmaker too; it was damaged in a flood at the retirement home. I'll give her the project next week, so hopefully she'll like it!
