Week 2 at Ottawa School of Art

1/22/2014

Perhaps I have been overly ambitious.

We started our first project in class yesterday doing a contour drawing of an item of our choice, then learning  techniques to embroider the drawing on paper. We are using Tibetan paper which is very thin and translucent but quite strong and fibrous. It wrinkles easily but can be ironed later.

Clearly this is a work in progress. The bits in light blue are my working drawing. These lines will get washed out once the project is complete. The dark lines are what I have completed so far in thread.

Out of interest, the dress and suit are from my parent's wedding photo, taken almost 52 years ago.

I have no idea how long this will take to complete. It's now homework as we move to another project next week, but I am not alone as everyone in the class was quite ambitious. We did promise to bring in this project once it's done and I will continue to post updates as I work on this piece.

    About Me

    It's taken years to discover the medium I enjoy the most. And how what I have learned before somehow fits into what I am doing now. Even when I travel my needles and threads are with me so I can continue to create while away.

    It's been wonderful being able to share my work with others and to be a part of an artistic network that continues to grow and develop.

    If you have ideas you would like to suggest, please let me know. And check back regularly to my web site for updates.
