RED + Nine

This is a re-post of my first post way, way back to March 3rd, 2008. I did this to honor "Search for Roy G Biv" day. On the third Thursday of each month, I'll be posting (along with other artists) a photo representing the color (red) for this month. All this began for me over at the blog: Jennifer Coyne Qudeen ... check it out!!

These 9 little canvas pieces represent some of my first steps in combining fabric with paint and other media. I remember using an assortment of paint rags, silk, organza and paper ... machine stitching it all together in a random circular fashion. The fabric pieces were glued to canvas and colored stones, wire, paint and gold leaf were added. The Human and Divine was my inspiration as I was enjoying the idea of what each one of us might look like as bits of beauty in a star-like swirling shape.

      Connie, Thank you! Sometimes tiny works and then large can be good too! Someone asked me to sell them separately but I couldn't break up what seems like a gathering to one for me.

    I'm pretty new to your work - Roy is a great one for introducing new blogs. Love this idea - an inspiration to me to branch out a little.
