It was a very productive day for everyone.  My work in progress  More of my work in progress  My finished collages  Ken's work  More of Ken's work  Ken's collage  My favorite of Ken's work today  Nikki's work in progress  More of Nikki's work in progress I worked on the collaborative project between Sarah Smith and myself. I glued crystals on the cover.   I worked on the collaborative project between Sarah Smith and myself. I glued crystals on the cover.   And yet another white face that I painted tonight.  I collaged the magazine spine with red and glued red threads in between several of the pages.   I have been working on the cover of the W magazine. Here is my progress:    I received the collaborative artpiece back from Sarah Smith and started by tackling the front cover. Here is my first step of many to come.  Sarah returned the W magazine to me and I painted another white model. It also inspired me to make a quick watercolor as well.    I just dropped off the W magazine to Sarah and had a quick chat. I'm excited to see what she is going to create for this next round.
I soaked the magazine spine again today. I am really happy with how it turned out.  Last night, I ordered a Manhattan-like drink and even though I hate maraschino cherries, I tried to eat it anyway. I quickly spit it out, placed it on my sketched napkin and destroyed it by violently smashing it with my fingers. Earlier today, I emptied my pockets from last night and found the napkin with doodles, plus one from Sarah. I taped them in the back cover of the magazine.  Last night and today, I started experimenting by dipping the magazine spine in red watercolor paint. I am going to continue this and see where it takes me. In the next couple of days, I may dip the spine in more paint and some shellac. I find this more refreshing than the constricted white paintings I have been completing. I am excited by pleasant mistakes, unpredictable results, and letting go of control.    This one took me several days to complete. Hands, face, leg, AND skin showing through lace openings. Whew!  The latest, which took me two days because I kept getting interrupted.  This one took me two days to complete because I got distracted yesterday.  |
