Fabulous !! It is perfect....the tea-dyed hymn is so good on the water colour paper and then on your beautiful textural woven background. And the old book cover is so beautiful, I love its 'grunginess'. I hope your new approach to creating works for you. It didn't work for me.......washing, shopping, dusting, cleaning and cooking all got in the way, mind you I do have whole days where I can ignore a lot of those things and just lock myself away in my studio room and create, but eventually my conscience gets the better of me lol. xx
back when i was a writer and my son was little, i did exactly what you intend to do. i worked from when he left to when he returned home with a break for lunch. it worked out well.
thank you for the info on how you hung this. always a bugaboo for me and now the hangers of string i have glued on the back of my large paper wallhanings are coming off!! the glue is not holding. maybe there is some way for me to do this wire thing.
i have a book cover, end page with the exact pattern. yrs ago a friend gave me a bunch of old bk covers and end papers.
ps I see gayle says that work scheduel did not work out well for her. i do have an ability to leave dishes, dusting and so forth for later, even now. my house was always tidy more or less but i kept that workspace for me pretty well, which might include taking a walk in nature.
So neat Kimmie. I like your approach with your art, for you and for us as you share these wonderful pieces. I also like the term "tramp art" as you mention in the next post. :)
Isn't it great when things come together of their own accord? This piece is lovely, and I'm so glad you included the detail shots--the neatness of your layers is pretty darn impressive.
This is exactly the type of crafting or tramp art I love and want to do. Just retired, so I have more time available than I ever did before. No excuses for me, and you all inspire me!
Wonderful piece. Good luck with your new "work schedule". I'm trying to come up with a similar plan. Certain days are "house work days" while others are "work on me days...excerise, relax, appts etc." and "art/computer days"...otherwise I tend to float through the days and not really get anything finished. It's still a work in progress...
