The Turret Process: 17/11/10

http://the-turret-process.blogspot.com/2010_11_17_archive.html

Wednesday, 17 November 2010. I am toying (sorry) with the idea of going into mass stuffed animal production for the craft-site market to see if i can earn a few quid. It's about time i stood on my own two feet again. I seem to have problems with 2D to 3D visualisation. I struggled all of last week, looking at patterns on the web, studying bears (real beautiful brown ones) and teddy versions of my own. Eventually i came up with this creature - only the head so far, more canine than ursine:. BearBovis, my ...

Thursday, 28 October 2010. Painting club is going well, i am ecstatic to report. I did blue on Tuesday:. This is the yellow on canvas paper. Edge of small yellow canvas. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). A blog of work and wilderness with occasional animals, my glamorous assistants. Have decided to expose my arts-and-crafts-life. There will be regular tea-breaks with the animals i live with and the plants and small wildlife in the garden. Animals: knitted and sewn. Blipfoto, daily phlog.

Saturday, 13 November 2010. I've finished part 3 of the lino triptych (always wanted to use that word) that i began last year. It's the square one in the middle, 30x30cm. Needs a bit of tidying up. I used to put the 1's and 3's into a vice, heat them up and squeeze them with pliers to get fine cuts. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Thursday, 4 November 2010. Over the Summer, i fell back in love with photography as more than merely a means of recording personal landmarks (such as building the greenhouse) or 'it shouldn't happen to a dog/cat/John' type of event. I am particularly enamoured of the close-up at the moment with true Macro being the ultimate, glittering prize. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Sunday, 20 March 2011. My Shop @ Etsy.com. On March the 2nd i opened my shop on Etsy! As long as i have some customers! Here are the future customers' future bears so far:. Greatest achievement of the week: i cracked claw embroidering! It was hard, putting the first two up. It felt like adoption of the worst kind, for money! I have decided to offer free arcto-veterinary after-care and to ask for a photograph of the bears in their new homes. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Rowan, the knit ...

Friday, 26 November 2010. Ursine making and mending. I have managed to make my first bear with articulate joints. I decided that as my confusion over 2D drawn diagrams of parts and 3D stuffed animal toys was so. Great that it threatened to paralyse the entire Anderson Articulated Animal empire before it was off the drawing board, i would find a good pattern and follow it from start to finish and see what happened. Pinky was in a coma in plastic bag intensive care for 10 months. Although Pinky's own eyes ...

Sunday, 6 March 2011. Pets for Mrs Sims and son. My friend Mike's cat, Mr Fluffy was run over in 2007. Since then, he has had several cats move in and then move on. He's fed up with it, so i have knitted him a replica of the last little urchin. Hopefully, it will know which side it's bread is buttered on. And for Mike's Mum, who used to have Springer Spaniels but is now past dog-walking age, i have knitted her a low maintenance one from a pattern in the wonderful book Best in Show.

Tuesday, 21 December 2010. I have finished the 35 rectangles! Going to buy some fleece today for the backing. It measures 163 x 94cm, approx 3 x 5 feet, and used 1kilo and 50 grammes of yarn. I've really enjoyed the blanket/throw/afghan process and am planning the next couple. I fancy a small alphabet one for my friend's baby. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Tuesday, 28 September 2010. What would we do without Alizarin Crimson? This is a nice square canvas 90x90cm and boxy - got it at the discount place over the back for 7 quid. I hope they'll get some more in! I'm using oils mostly and some acrylic with glue for texture, though now i'm using more oil with the paint, i probably won't use glue again on this. Also working on the middle section of a lino-cut triptych which is rather too fancy a term, really, for some scribbly abstract cuts. Links to this post.

Thursday, 21 October 2010. To try to nurture improved productivity levels in the Turret ( stop me, oh, oh, oh, stop me: stop me if you think that you've heard this one before). I have instigated Painting Club. Painting Club runs between 3 and 5pm every day during the colder months which gives me ample faffing on the internet time (also getting dressed etc) and ends in good time to break off for Park Club and Shopping Club leading to Doggy Teatime. And mine too. Links to this post. A blog of work and wild...
