on retreat

I am in the studio for the next couple weeks and hope to make real progress on my new work. The 40 or so fabric collages are finished off and awaiting  final embellishments and a polymer clay “something” that will be a part of the collage and is wearable too. As I said recently, I’m approaching my clay work “sideways” right now, being first inspired with the play of color, texture, patterns and images of the fabrics.

Here’s another work in progress.

And a “possible” piece of jewelry for the hair.

The Outer Banks

I’m leaving this AM for home after a wondrously creative, laugh-filled and work-filled week in the Outer Banks in NC. I am grateful to everyone who made my week so rich and magical. Working, playing, brainstorming, chatting about things tiny and profound  for a whole week (with someone else cooking all the delish meals- thanks Jim) is a rare occurence and one I couldn’t be more grateful for- Thanks Judy and Tam. And to everyone else (go here to see who all was here) a huge thank you for all the creative energy that was bursting the seams of the house.I’ll show pics along the way as to how the weeks creative spirit influences my art work, I have no doubt it will!
