Latest sculpture

This is my latest piece from my sculpture class, I'm really enjoying working with wire.
Again I used my husband Tim as a model, I didn't have time to take a photo of him warming up in this position so I used the mannequin, it's not finished yet as it will need to be tweaked next week then attached to the wall/floor base.

Colours in the window

These are the clean up rags hanging in the window of the Print Making room, aren't the colours glorious, wouldn't I love to highjack some of these to use in my art.

Can't get away with anything....

A quick funny story........

I ran out of time before I went down to Melbourne to work at the Quilt Convention to ring my mum to let her know that I was going away, but I rang her when I got back and she knew that I'd been down there - and do you know how she new - her home care cleaner READS MY BLOG --- hi Raylene

Wire Sculpture

These are my efforts in Sculpture class a few days ago, we are working with wire at the moment.
We had to do a basic line drawing of someone in our class and unfortunately the lady I drew in the top one looked like "Sideshow Bob" - the drawing and piece not the lady.
The second piece is mounted on a board in individual pieces, again it also looks like someone from The Simpsons.

My next mission is to work out how to put text under the photos individually.

back in the swing at last

Better keep this short as there is a thunderstorm about to hit.
Today I finally got back into sewing, haven't done much since before xmas with the 3 back to back exhibitions Nov/Dec, then xmas, throw the school holidays into the mix, home to Perth for a couple of weeks to see mum at the end of Jan, start at art school (TAFE) beginning of Feb then down to Melb to work at the Aust Quilt Convention at the end of Feb which brings me to the start of March - are you all exhausted like I am, pheeewww
So today I decided to have a play, I need to make some small pieces for an exhibition in a month or so, they are to be 10cm x 10cm (4" x 4") so these are what I started on today, they may not be the ones that I enter but at least I've made a start, what do you think? the stitching on the orange one doesn't show up very well, the landscape one is made with silk paper scraps.
Better get off here before the mother board gets fried, it's getting loud and scarry.....
