Embroidered Collage

I will be away from the internet beginning Tuesday the 18th and going through Tuesday the 25th. 

When I return, after I recover, I hope to really get into some of the work I was talking about a few days ago.  I'll also need to complete my July calendar pages, so there will be eye candy and creative process pics coming up.  I'm taking a class called Collage Transfers at the local art store for four Mondays, starting on the 31st, so I'll have nifty stuff coming up from that experience as well.

I've been exercising regularly, so that part of my focus worked, but I haven't cleaned since the last update.  My daily art went poof, but not due to the other two, as I supposed.  I spend much of the last week to ten days immersed in books - hence the scarcity of posts.  I used to read like that in high school and collage and it felt good to do it again.  After reading the new Anita Blake book I was inspired to go back and read the rest of the series.  Yes, I really do read that fast.

I'm thinking about deliberately expanding my reading.  It's been almost entirely art/craft books for the last two years, with a smattering of fantasy, and so that's all that's in my thoughts when I think about themes to base art on.  Yet I've been interested in so many things over the years.  I want to pull that back into my life.  I'm considering starting another side blog to go along with the non-art reading, but I'll see what I end up doing after vacation.

We had a meeting of The Fiber Alliance yesterday and I had a good time.  I took all of my little fiber on canvas pieces and they were well-received.  I learned a few new tidbits, but mostly just enjoyed myself.

See you all soon.
