Month: November 2013

week 46 in my “this is where i am from” year long project:

I  spent the  entire day doing small careful drawings and writing a course description  (both top secret projects I’ll share a soon as I can )  so I needed to do something looser this evening.  I would have loved to have done nothing at all – but thats the whole point of a personal assignment. And I was glad to be painting after a little while – it was like a counter stretch to my day.  This is  the stream deep in the woods with a haphazard little foot bridge crossing to the hill covered with blueberries and the high tension towers.

week 45 in my “this is where i am from” year long project:

I made these ornaments when I was small – I think the same year. I don’t have them anymore and I wonder if I remember them accurately and  I wonder of they are wrapped in tissue in one of my sister’s attics – I would love to see them.

The ballerina was made  from a clothespin and her costume was a scrap of pink tulle and ribbon. And the little camel was made from brown flannel or felt maybe and he  had red blanket stitch all around and sequins on his blanket.
