Actually I framed these five pieces and put them up on my studio wall in preparation for a show in June. Last Sunday I hung these beauties of mine at a local Art supply store which has a gallery wall. The show will be up until June 29th. I am a big believer in the creative process and especially the 5th and final step ... put the work out in the world! Sometimes it happens through sales, or publications like my catalog and notebook and then there is the occasional show. This is a ten piece series so when I finish the other half I'll show them when there is available space. The titles are "Wilderness Lamp", "Portal in Citrine", "Ancient Circles:, "Hands of Heaven", and "Columbaria". I feel good about the opportunity and I miss them a little too!
WONDERFUL!! sharing your world with the outer world!! Joy - they look amazing and how I wish I could see them in person!! congratulations! xo
ReplyDeleteJeane, Thank you! I think my work looks best under glass (plexi-glass) but I'm not a big fan about stopping the work to frame. Got it done and they look good!
DeleteThey look really wonderful framed!
ReplyDeleteConnie Rose, I put them in frames I already have here in the studio but I replaced the backing and the plexiglass. I agree, thank you.
Deleteglad you are doing step 5! They look great framed. good luck.
ReplyDeletesukipoet, Thank you, Nice to see them in the world and now
DeleteI'm back to step one and two which is first the vision, dream/wish and 2 is all about the gathering, materials and such.
Yes, step 5! They look marvellous all framed up and hanging on the wall, Mary Ann. Good job.
ReplyDeleteThank you Carole ... it is my least favorite art related job ... the dreaded framing. I try to keep it simple and I try to do it way ahead of time so I don't stress. These five look good on the stores gallery wall and now they fly!
DeleteThey look great on your studio wall. Step 5!! My current dilemma with my own artwork.
ReplyDeleteNone of the 5 steps are easy and I have gotten locked into each one many times ... like 1st step, the dream, vision ... oh boy always need to break loose from that one and get to the 'art making' rather than the 'art dreaming'!
ReplyDeleteMarvellous! Lovely to see them all together....and another five to come! Very inspiring.
ReplyDeletePenny, I'm going to stop by tomorrow and see if I'm low on business cards and if there were comments and such. Mostly I'm going because I will enjoy seeing them on the wall!
DeleteThese look fabulous framed! Make an excellent grouping, too. That fifth and final step is really the hardest. Good for you tackling it! Well worth the effort.
ReplyDeleteLynne, Thank you, I think they hold up well on the wall. Whatever step I'm in seems like the hardest. Right now I'm in the first ... vision/dream and the second ... gathering ... I'm stuck in both of them and would like to get to the third step ... mark making/good/bad but at least 'doing'.
