Well I finally made it to Milan to hit some serious studio time....One of the down falls not haveing it in my home I guess........Any how....The above totem.......Not quite done.....my next step will be inking and painting the flesh then giving some background color to surround him..... He needs a name...any ideas?
Well not perfect...but sure has been fun.....I took several quilt panels and cut them apart to create and three pieces applique then did some s thread sketching on top......Still need to bind it
Remember the leaves I didnt like.......ya well this is what I turned them into.......and didnt like it after I added the brown in.....soooooooo did a white wash... went back with soft dry brush....
added some alcohol sprays and did some spritzing.........Still not sure I like it Grrrrr.....
I participated in an art tag swap so got this lil guy done too....... Just random fun was all....
Hope all are staying cool...... Off to catch up on some reading and see what the rest of ou have been up to!.....

Wow! You've been very creative lately! No idea on a name. Love the deer quilt panel and the bird tag. I've had projects that won't go the way I want them to, also, so I'm not the person to have suggestions as to how to fix it so you like it better--LOL! On occasion I have repainted the whole canvas or board and started over because I haven't known how to change it. Hope you're staying cool! :)
ReplyDeleteI really like the bird! The colours and textures are so rich,
ReplyDeleteYou have been way more productive than me my dear friend...your totem reminders me of native ghosts spirits that return to guide us here on Mother earth. "Summer Mist" would be an interesting approach to a name....sweet morning mists to guide you through a day 's journey! I love the tag exchange! Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart
