Ella, as it turns out. 




When I conceived this piece, my intent was to have foliage against this African evening sky, but after I'd fused down my tree and imagined the upcoming grasses and what not - I realized, that I couldn't resist adding something more friendly. 

All of sudden, this little piece is about Ella - my little elephant who shows up from time to time. I imagine that it's bedtime for little elephants - and Ella's mommy is just outside of frame, coming with some nice grasses for Ella to eat.


So here is the tree, just lightly outline quilted - but I wanted to bring the background forward more, so...


 I needed to quilt it more heavily.

Finished piece on Wednesday.  See you then?

More street art - this time from Irony & Boe in London, UK - check it out at This Colossal here

Over at Red Dot blog they have posted a series of instructional videos and podcasts for artists. Great stuff! Cheek it out here

At National Geographic photography blog, they have posted some the AMAZING work of Klaus Pichler - who somehow makes rotting food look gorgeous. No really! Check that out here

Huffington Post has an article about the artists statements of the Old Masters. With the exception of Rembrandt, they were just as pseudo-intellectual and incomprehensible as ours are, proving that some artists have always been pretentious. ;)  Check them out here

If you haven't seen Ann Loveless's piece "Sleeping Bear Dune Lakeshore" (which won the Google Art Prize [$200,000!] for 2013), you can see her art quilt at Art Hub in Grand Rapids, MI, where it will be on view until the next competition starts.  You can see the piece (and read about it) here

I posted these on Facebook a couple of weeks back, but didn't share them here, so have a look at these beautiful 3D art pieces that are housing for hermit crabs. You read that right! :) Check it out here

World of Threads has an interview with Megan Skyvington here

And that's it!

Have a great weekend and see you on Monday!

Okay. So, as you know, I work with Lutradur. I mean, I work with Lutradur a LOT. 

Some people get pretty crazy with it - melting it, burning it, moulding it, all kinds of stuff. I paint it, and pretty much stick to that, because I have yet to experiment with all the permutations of "paint" that I could do with Lutradur - I like to "master" something (if I can) before I move on from it. 

So, I had an idea for a piece I wanted to make.

I can't believe it's been nearly 3 months since I've properly blogged - and longer still since I've been in my studio!

For those of you just catching up - we moved at the end  of  May. That meant my studio was packed up almost since the beginning of May. You'd think that would mean that I'd be back in my new studio by the middle of June - at least I did; but you'd be incorrect in that assumption. What with one thing and another, (and another and another! the details with which I will not bore you); I didn't actually get to start unpacking my studio until last week. 

There's still more to be done, but it's usable now (and I have begun a small step in that direction!); so I thought I'd show the very last thing I got done before it all went away for so long. 

I started with..
