Now to begin adding mixed media to the painted canvases.
My “palette” consists of:
Splendor Strandable 12-ply silk. I’ll be plying it in some instances and leaving it “as is” in others.
Wire Form Sculptor’s Mesh – Aluminum 1/4″ grid. (I really love this stuff! I’m getting all kinds of ideas for using it.)
And my hand-made paper.
I’ve experimented [...]
Taking a Break

I’m taking a break from the BIG PROJECT today and started knitting a prayer “shawl” for a friend who’s undergoing cancer treatment. It’s actually more like a lap robe, ’cause I don’t think guys really do shawls.
It’s made with a simple k3 p3 pattern suggested in “Knitting Into the Mystery.” The pattern is symbolic of [...]

Last night I finished painting my canvases. It’s really amazing to see how this creative process is working as I am forced to document and reflect upon it for my class.
I started with a “big picture” of what I wanted to accomplish and made it a little more particular with the thumbnail sketches. But it [...]
Blank Canvas

My first paper making experiment turned out pretty good and I’m going to be able to use this paper for my BIG PROJECT. I’m hoping I made enough so I don’t have to go through the whole process again right now, since my due date is rapidly approaching.
Here’s my “blank canvas.” Well, it’s not exactly [...]
Big Project

I have finally gotten up the courage to start on my BIG PROJECT for my Spirituality and Creativity class. It took me forever to get up the nerve just to call my professor and tell her what I had in mind. She said “Go for it!” even though I reminded her that she said we [...]
Great Interview

One of my D.Min. (Doctor of Ministry) assignments was to interview a working artist about creativity and spirituality. Rachel Collins, a watercolorist in Alexandria, VA was gracious enough to let me interview her yesterday, and I had a great time. The two hours I had allotted for the interview flew by. Rachel is an exciting, [...]
Art Vs. Craft

I guess I’ve been away for blogging for over a week now. It seems as though I have been really busy, but not at anything I could blog about here, nor have I really had any spare moments for blogging. And yesterday the internet was in and out because of a storm, so I couldn’t [...]
