curious curiosities
hello friends. i'm coming up for a quick breath of air. staring at the wall trying to pick between... yellow + tangerine + charcoal OR egyptian lime + pink + fucshia OR turquoise + neon lime + lavender..... it's sort of a choice between too pretty, garishly hard to look at - but on purpose, or referencing the root of the imagery more directly [which happens to be argyle if you are curious]. i think i'll have to come back to this tomorrow. time to move onto some doilies??
above is an older piece of mine. i did this whole series of pieces thinking about women and their relationships. building on the idea of sewing circles or quilting bees. above the women are relating by thought. i dug up 3 of those pieces that i had left and gave them to the curiosity shoppe - a great online store run by derek and lauren [two incredibly supportive and wonderful people!]. here's my page in their store... but take a peek around as they have so many things i'm totally in love with. like these , this [which is currently out of stock, but], and this, just to pick 3.
shari posts on ship today - and we'll both be here on monday with our documentary project.
have a lovely weekend.... now back to work for me!

I hope the wall is coming along...I think the yellow + tangerine + charcoal sounds brilliant.

and argyle...intriguing. not as feminine as doilies or cupcakes or embroidery hoops (not that men can't or don't like any or all of the above but historically i think of argyle as almost more male than female).
happy creating :)
see you, g xo
This is not a comment about your blog. But I found you on a site where someone was talking about a magic designer and you said you wanted one. Well I have one. I am not going to ship it to you, however, I wrote a computer program which emulates this instrument (toy). And I would be happy and thrilled for you to try it. Please email me Akatz712@gmail.com
