carolyn: Commemorating 2010 "Year of the Hats"
http://carolynbiel.blogspot.com/2011/01/commemorating-2010-year-of-hats.html
Sunday, 9 January 2011. Commemorating 2010 "Year of the Hats". It all started with a family member in great need of a hat due to a medical condition. I found a pattern that I ended up liking so much that I made one for myself and another for Betty. Example above (this one is Betty's). I was then asked by a group of close friends to sew patches onto 100 hats for a winter tour (apparently custom embroidery is quite expensive). 10 January 2011 at 06:48. Come over and doodle with me! Make yourself at home.

carolyn: November 2010
http://carolynbiel.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, 13 November 2010. I am participating in the second annual Battle of the Bowls (BoB) at the Philadephia Art Alliance. Each participant was given a plain ceramic bowl to transform. Here is what mine looked like:. I first created a wire structure that replicates the bowl I received. I then spray painted the structure black. I am now in the process of the turning the original bowl into a powdery pulp and attaching it to the wire structure with caulk. Pictures of that soon! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Tuesday, 14 December 2010. As promised pictures of the finished piece/ surface. Not the greatest of pictures due to the fact that I took them when the piece was already in a cardboard box ready to be dropped off at the Art Alliance. On display at PAA alongside Shawn Spangler's. Also colleague Matthew Malesky's fabulous bowl on display (right). More Photographs of the event can be found on PAA's facebook page here. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Make yourself at home. Oh, I'm trying!

Having Horns: March 2013

Bad Planning, Bad Luck. I also bought some big XL shirts at the thrift store to use for fabric, they were gutted and cut apart, and this one I've combined with a floral fabric I had hanging around to make a short sleeved western shirt. The light sage green fabric will become the piping on the shirt. It's all cut and ready to go once I get my new needles. Lety-RZ's super-deluxe jumbo prize package is on it's way to Texas! Hope you enjoy the miscellaneous odds and ends I've included! I've also been on a sh...

Having Horns: May 2013

Or at least trying to. Dear Jane G-5 and G-6. Two particularly fussy little blocks. I tried to do the right one as full patchwork first and it was a mess, it worked better as a partial applique. The tiny, tiny star in the middle of the star block was also tough, especially since I'm not paper piecing. Which got me thinking about hats, and so doodled out this very embarrassing and not at all stylish hat for Sal. To keep his horns warm? Somehow I don't think they get cold. But it's a nice sentiment. And a ...

Having Horns: February 2013
http://havinghorns.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
First of all, hooray for 200 posts! But that it took so long reminds me that I need to post more. And to post more, I need to work more! But between the cat, and work, and my new interest in exercising, my time seems to slip away. Anyhoo, at the thrift store last week I did pick up two fabrics, one of which has already become this lovely pair of shorts. Every time I go back and do pants, I forget how to do the pockets and fly, and have to relearn them. Whenever I'm feeling a little lost in my own studio,...

It came out a little rumpled. Part of it was that I didn't put paper behind it, so I caught a fair amount of wool in the stitching. The other part was that I didn't put it in a hoop. I thought the wool would be stiff enough to not warp, but that wasn't the case. I like the finer meshes, and the 'woven' effect on the big square. You can also see I changed threads- the more off-white thread was softer and I think made for better-looking stitches. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Me and My Work in Other Places.
