Soaring

I've managed to remember how to change both the header on the blog and Facebook.  Its been too long since I've paid attention to the blog, so I'm on the road to fixing that.

The new header is one of my recent landscapes "Soaring" a sofa piece 18"x30".  The evening silhouette is an eagle soaring across a dusk skyline in a light snowfall. You can see it under Landscapes and Abstracts.

For The Newest Angel In My Life

Fashion Design in Miniature

 For those of you who have been wondering what I've been doing these last couple of months......

Our youngest granddaughter was christened on Sunday, and here is the dress I made for her, almost completely by hand, as she is so dainty.

The lace is a  heavy french silk lace, and all of the applique was individually cut out and sewn on by hand.  There are over 400 pearls and crystals on the dress, and you can see the silk headband hanging on the hanger.

She was a perfect jewel throughout the entire process, and looked like the little princess she is.  I don't expect that this will last however, but one can always hope.  The dress took me about two months to make, while living my life, and it is now time to start more fabric art.

Look forward to some new wolves, and landscape pieces, and perhaps some new Asian pieces as well.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Its been a very long time since I've posted to my blog.

We've been doing lots of traveling this year, and spending time with family.

We were in Hawaii in April/May 2015, and I have several new pieces created from the fabric I bought and based on the pictures we took in Hawaii.

I still have to create my 2015 Art Gallery, but that will come early in the new year.

In October and November we were in Collingwood Ontario and Stowe Vermont, where I found some wonderful fabric.

I have several new ideas for work in 2016, so now I just have to find the time as John and I will be very busy over the next 12 months.

I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and a very safe and happy holiday season.

Happy Canada Day!

Canada is a fantastic place to live, never more so during these trying times.

May all of your family and friends be safe on this Canada Day 2015.

Hawaii

John and I just returned from two weeks in Hawaii, and I have lots of new inspiration for my June 2016 exhibit.  I'll post them on the blog and on Facebook, as I finish them, but that will be the only  place they will be shown until June 2016.

I'll also post pictures over the next few weeks, as I catch up.

Spring Has Sprung!

Happy Spring and Happy Easter!

Life has been very busy.  We have a new granddaughter so life is good.  I have not been too creative over the last few months, but I am working on a black and white floral and a wonderful owl nature scape.  Both are coming along and should be done by the end of May.

Our new show at ArtScene, for April is called "Spring Has Sprung" and features work from our artists celebrating spring.  Here is the piece I am hanging for the show, entitled "Spring".   It is not new, but has been hidden away until recently.  It is one of my favourites - I love the way the fractures of the tulips ripple across the hanging.
