Etc……
Samples of my work for posterity…
The staff of St Madeleine Sophie In
Bellevue, WA asked for “paint” on Mahogany
to
refresh the weekday altar.
It seemed to need more depth than could be achieved on a flat
surface.
So, permission was granted to carve the wood.
It was
then touched with an acrylic wash before the final stain & varnish.
[For another event
A Paper Lace Banner
was requested.

Another
piece of woodwork:

Utilizing madrona, in the
“whittling” of Walking Sticks and canes. |

These
are pictures of a main example (that
received Second Place at WWSF 2005); Showing
the Bald Eagle bearing a banner of “Strength – Freedom –Peace” amongst storm
clouds with glow-in-the-dark lightening in the cracks & crevasses. They
can be done by request for $150 - $150. |
An entry that won Second Place
in a Call for Art competition:
“King County Elections
seeks artwork for use in training and outreach materials that illustrate
the sacred importance
of voting among the disabled community. Art will be judged on
themes that promote independence, privacy, patriotism, voting, and diversity.”
Forgive
me Faeries! On our master bedroom’s southern window I painted this.
The
heat of the sun was just too much!
It should be obvious that it is a risk
to contradict a
professor,
-- but I never could help myself…
Fiber Arts
Final
Project for The Principles of Dye & Dying,
At
the University of Washington
Rain in the Northwest – Wall
Hanging
An
array of spun fibers: wool, cotton, silk, rayon…
To
illustrate the variation of each one’s acceptance of the chosen colors.
Accented
with assorted beads.
Showing
our standard Washington weather. Rain.
Working
with the trees in our western side of “the Green State.”
Macramé
was not considered a reliable way to demonstrate the dying process, but it was
successful.

It took 15 minutes of the staff
picking through the rules,
to
convince them to admit this jacket
in
the “Calligraphy –On Other Surface”
category
of the
Western Washington State Fair, in Puyallup.
It
received the Blue Ribbon.
Being a Lifetime Girl Scout, that
was quite satisfying.
Acrylic
on Denim

The next year this piece was entered, done
on a more formal denim jacket
with an
antiqued scroll effect,
It
received the 2005 Blue Ribbon & Grand Champion Awards.
As you
can see, the light green accent, on both jackets, glows in the dark.
It is
done with ©Golden Acrylic’s Phosphorescent Green...
a very
entertaining tone.
