Affairs of the Art:: Tangled up in....Zen?
http://debmck.blogspot.com/2010/01/tangled-up-inzen.html
Affairs of the Art:. The Random Thoughts and Adventures of a Ditzy Creative Nomad. Sunday, January 10, 2010. Tangled up in.Zen? Eegads. be careful what you read. I say that because I have inadvertently fallen into another creative vice. A few weeks ago, while innocently leafing through my Nov./Dec. issue of " Cloth Paper Scissors. Magazine, I came across the article by Sandy Steen Bartholomew where she wrote about journaling with "Zentangles". Zentangles? Hmmm", I thought. Who couldn't use more "zen"?

Affairs of the Art:. The Random Thoughts and Adventures of a Ditzy Creative Nomad. Wednesday, January 13, 2010. Behold.the humble box. Plain Brown. Unadorned. Simple. For some unknown reason I have, over time, picked up a few of these plain Jane containers. I have no idea what I initially wanted them for but they have sat neatly stacked and collecting dust on my studio shelves patiently waiting to be transformed into something spectacular. But what to adorn the lid? The transformation was complete. Well,...

Affairs of the Art:: Three Muses
http://debmck.blogspot.com/2010/01/three-muses.html
Affairs of the Art:. The Random Thoughts and Adventures of a Ditzy Creative Nomad. Saturday, January 9, 2010. I love my studio- it's truly my sanctuary. To the casual observer, it's just a room over the garage with a couple of windows and good light- but to me it's a warm, sunny place where I can do, think, feel, create and be whatever I want. Now how many places in life can you say that about? They were human- like me. They were mortal- like me. They breathed, they bled, they cried. Well, I was CRUSHED ...

Affairs of the Art:. The Random Thoughts and Adventures of a Ditzy Creative Nomad. Thursday, January 29, 2009. From Table to Tableau. You know how sometimes you just get the urge to try something new you've only read about? That was me today. I spent this morning running errands after being stuck in the house all day yesterday from yet another snowstorm that dropped 10" of the unwelcomed stuff on my doorstep. WOULD SOMEBODY PULEEEZ SHUT IT OFF? Yeathat didn't work so hot. The ink started to travel an...

Affairs of the Art:. The Random Thoughts and Adventures of a Ditzy Creative Nomad. Tuesday, April 28, 2009. So I was given a challenge to do an “altered domino” which I have never done before and since I love a challenge, I decided to go for it. What fun! I call her ‘No Dice: Guardian Angel for the Bad Things Come in 3’s” Syndrome. Get it? Thought it was clever. I actually learned a few things from this project:. Tuesday, April 21, 2009. So I get it all cut out, have the bodice all basted together, all t...

Affairs of the Art:. The Random Thoughts and Adventures of a Ditzy Creative Nomad. Tuesday, June 2, 2009. Yeah, I know. Once again, I've gotten embarrassingly behind in my posting. My only excuse (if you can call it that) is that life is happening with more gusto than usual at the moment and, it seems, time is not on my side. I do, however, solemnly swear to do my best for the next few weeks. Which DIDNT happen by accident, believe me! Also, instead of using a lining fabric under the skirt, I used the bl...

Affairs of the Art:: Peter, Peter, PummKin Prototype
http://debmck.blogspot.com/2010/01/peter-peter-pummkin-prototype.html
Affairs of the Art:. The Random Thoughts and Adventures of a Ditzy Creative Nomad. Thursday, January 7, 2010. Peter, Peter, PummKin Prototype. So remember my trusty sketchbook that I blogged about some time ago? After a couple attempts, here is the first prototype of my idea brought to life. The face is 3-dimensional- a machine-stitched trapunto technique that I stuff and then hand-paint with acrylics. He stands about 7" tall which includes the hand-painted wooden base. It's still a work in progress.
