Vivien Zepf: New Work - A Circle Study

http://sevenpinesdesigns.blogspot.com/2015/07/new-work-circle-study.html

Monday, July 27, 2015. New Work - A Circle Study. I'm playing with the organic circle idea that made its first appearance in Champagne Dance. Formerly titled Champagne Circles. Here's an 11.5" x 11.5" study. The orange strip is made of bits and pieces left over from Champagne Dance. I'm debating if I should call this Circle Study I. My son's suggestion is Cosmic Sunset. What do you think? I like your sons suggestion. Or use both of them, Circle Study! July 28, 2015 at 9:29 AM. New York, United States.

Vivien Zepf: April 2015

http://sevenpinesdesigns.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

Tuesday, April 28, 2015. Coasters, Coasters, Coasters. I recently received some Transfer Artist Paper (TAP) to play with from C&T Publishing. The one criteria: make something for the home, as opposed to a piece of art. My idea: make coasters that look like my surface designed cloth, but actually made with TAP so they'd be water and stain-resistant. It would also keep my fabric available for fiber projects. The whole thing worked like a charm. Here's a quick look at the process:. TAP transfers on muslin.

Vivien Zepf: Social Media

http://sevenpinesdesigns.blogspot.com/2015/07/social-media.html

Tuesday, July 21, 2015. Photo I posted recently on Instagram and Facebook. There are so many different ways to connect on the Internet that it's easy to get sucked into cyber space, trolling different sites. By the same token, it's hard to decide what to focus on and where to spend your time if you're using the net to keep an artistic presence. See my FB and Instagram posts and, therefore, don't want to see duplicates on my blog. Don't have a preference. What about blog content? I thoroughly enjoy readin...

Sunday, August 2, 2015. Social Media - And the Answer is. First, my apologies: it seems I might have given a few of you the impression in my social media post that I was contemplating ending my blog.

Vivien Zepf: The Broad Museum in LA

http://sevenpinesdesigns.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-broad-museum-in-la.html

Wednesday, August 5, 2015. The Broad Museum in LA. Eli Broad spoke of collecting art in the Robb Report by saying. The museum stands next to the Disney Concert Hall and has an elegant facade made of white oblong openings, that's raised at the corners to welcome visitors. Photo from the Robb Report. This lovely facade reminds me a bit of the black, lace-like exterior of the Galerie de la Mediterranee in Marseilles, France. Getting a glimpse into someone's mind and thoughts that would. You can read it here.

Vivien Zepf: February 2015

http://sevenpinesdesigns.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

Saturday, February 21, 2015. The Kitchen and Night Tables. By Anthony Doerr. I highly recommend this book. It's a beautifully told account of WWII from a French girl's and German's boy's perspective. It covers new territory so it's not a rehashing of stories you have already read and the chapters are short, making it easy to stop when you need to. Do try to find it if you can. I look forward to hearing how you like it. Good thought. I want to be original. Do you fear failure? Sunday, February 15, 2015.

Vivien Zepf: November 2014

http://sevenpinesdesigns.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

Wednesday, November 26, 2014. The Miracle of Dogs. We were told it would take two years to get a release dog from the Seeing Eye in Morristown, NJ. But six weeks after submitting the paperwork we got a call. They had noticed on our application that we would be willing to take a dog with a handicap. Would we be interested in a dog with a torn up knee? The answer was yes, and thus began our 20 year journey with family dogs. March 1997. It said everything I was feeling. Boo and her beloved Frisbee. And comp...
