Back to my little yarn pieces. I'm still having fun experimenting with different pencil / paper combinations, as well as working out ideas for what to do with yarn as a subject.
With this one I actually set up a dice tied up with yarn and hung it from my drafting lamp. I wanted to see what the weight of the dice did to the yarn. It pulls the "plys", elongates and stretches them, like I knew it would.
I like how this piece looks like a little page of studies, like you'd find in a sketchbook.

I'm planning a new series of slightly larger yarn pieces, 5 x 7 I think, and maybe some other knitting themed ones.

And ~shock~ I may go back to painting something other than yarn!

Right now I'm working on my entry for the CPSA show. This will be my first year entering, and I'll be thrilled to even get juried in, let alone win anything. That March 31st deadline is closing in fast...

So yesterday was the anniversary of one of the most amazing musical moments of all time, the release of St. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. The album kicked off the Summer of Love (we can only hope this summer is 1/10 as exciting) and everything changed. The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography and the American National Biography celebrated the event with an interactive album cover. To trip just click.
