I’m really looking forward to seeing your commission when it’s all done. They will be such a wonderful reminder for those at the retreat center.
Lovem!
What an awesome peek into your progress!
I love “peace” – so very cool! I love the other signs as well.
Love the photo of the work in progress.
Rubbing the stain or pigment? into the pieces looks satisfying. I tend to like the “surprise” part of making art. I like it when you do something to the work that obscures it beauty momentarily until it is revealed again at a later stage. However that rich black is beautiful in and of itself! Very nice.
Rubbing in the grout is an act of faith, obliterating the color, and then, like you, I love the surprise, the reemergence of the beauty.
Not only is this series going to be beautiful when done (and it’s beautiful undone!), but I got a peek at your studio, too! Fun to see where you give birth to and nurture these masterpieces.
Thank you for the kind words! I like the idea of being “beautiful undone”! Actually, this is the studio of my client and friend Suzanne Halstead–since she’s doing the borders, and most of the grouting. Isn’t it awesome? I’ll post photos of my studio soon.
Thanks for visiting my site! Just stopping by to say hi.
Oh, how stunning. Really beautiful work!
So cool to see you in action! And I can’t wait to see the whole series together:)
The scale of these pieces is amazing. I can’t imagine working on something so large.
At first it was overwhelming, but then when I switched to working on a small sign, that suddenly felt teeny tiny!
Hi Margaret – thanks for stopping by my blog! Your signs are gorgeous and inspiring 🙂 Abby PS I love mulberry paper too – I didn’t even take photos of my collection of that!
I first found mulberry paper in a workshop with Jan Richardson–it was a revelation! Thanks for your kind words about my work.
