Now I have given up on limiting myself and this is all about my creative journey.

She makes unusual and difficult stacks of stone, temporary by nature. She then photographs them and sell the photos. They are stunning.<br />
<br />
I mention this because Saturday we discovered the Wire Bridge in Maine. It spans a shallow river full of wonderful rocks. Looking down it was easy to see that visitors had been inspired to stack stones. I of course had to add to the number and quality of the stacks.<br />
<br />
While we were there a large family (a family reunion?) gathered on the bridge and in unison threw yellow flowers from the bridge into the river. It was fun to watch them (the flowers not the family) float down river. My goal was to make a video of them as they floated but I guess I managed to do that for only a couple of seconds.<br />
<br />
These are the patterns and textures.<br />

It should include, for instance, a sensitive only child, a practical housewife, a logician, a monk, an irreverent buffoon and even, perhaps, hated by all the others and returning their dislike, a brutal, foul-mouthed drill sergeant who considers all poetry rubbish. </span>~W.

Okay, and now for the sculpture. When we were in Auburn NY (I think that is where we were) we saw these fabulous sculptures in someone's vegetable garden.</div>

I am participating in it although as usual I have put it off till the last minute. Here is a picture of the dress I am submitting. It is about 10 inches tall and is glued to the paper provided by Crystal.<br />

I made the dress by layering polyester organza and Lutradur. I would layer one organza piece over one lutradur sheet and do some decorative stitching. Then I did it again. Then I stacked the two stitched layers, added an organza over them and stitched all 5 layers together. Then, and here is the fun part, I melted it all with my heat gun. The butterflies are from the second layer and were stitched as decoration into the organza; they did not melt. I wanted to add a few more butterflies so they few already in the dress did not look so alone. I burned the butterflies out of another piece of the organza and glued the butterflies to the front of the dress. You can not see them well but I finished the dress with a few grommets to the bottom of the dress just to give it a bit more decoration, one more texture, and something that was shiny.Quilt or Dyehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07194932090799851056noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283357405837154878.post-3652068726358304132016-08-17T01:00:00.000-04:002016-08-17T01:00:30.145-04:00Catacombs under the Indianapolis City Market<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The <a href="http://www.indycm.com/" target="_blank">Indianapolis City Market</a> opened in 1886 and <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 22px;"> </span><span style="line-height: 22px;">is listed in the National Register of Historic Places</span></span>. Then it was a farmer's market offering fresh produce. Now it contains <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 22px;">a wide variety of eateries, wine and cheese shoppes, and retailers. Under the Market are "catacombs" which were originally the the basement and another old building that was built next door. That building burned down and built over with the basement being sealed off until recently. We toured the catacombs and here are some pictures. Some of them are blurry. I kinda liked that it gave them a ghostly feel.</span></span></span><br />

Many of the pictures were covered with glass that reflected me. I finally decided to just love it. These are all of the same photo that I photoshopped trying to make the image more obvious. Interesting how different they are. I think the first is the original. The picture in the image is a reflection of the artwork behind us and is merely reflected in the glass.<br />

It currently has an exhibit called "Transgressing Traditions." It is the second annual juried member international show for the SDA. The show will still be up till the end of August so go and see it if you can. <br />
<br />
Here are some pictures of my favorites, in no particular order other than my walk around the rooms.<br />

What great art we saw and we saw including THREE more Rothokos. In 2014 I<a href="http://quiltordye.blogspot.com/2014/07/mark-rothko.html" target="_blank"> posted </a>some information about Mark Rothko after seeing one of his painting up close and personal. <br />
<br />
The first new Rothko we saw was in the Harvard Art Museum. It is from his transitional "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Rothko" target="_blank">multiform</a>" period. "<span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;">Rothko himself described these paintings as possessing a more organic structure and as self-contained units of human expression. For him, these blurred blocks of various colors, devoid of landscape or the human figure, let alone myth and symbol, possessed their own life force. They contained a "breath of life" he found lacking in most figurative painting of the era.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;"> " </span><br />

<br />
The other two Rothkos we saw were in the Toledo OH Museum. I wish we had had more time to spend there. These are both in Rothko's later style of floating rectangular fields of light and color and is the style for which he is best known.<br />

I am not sure if you can see the drip marks on the picture above. I would guess that they are the reason there was a problem about how to hang the piece. The Toledo museum had some question about which way was up for the picture and had to verify it before hanging the painting. Yes, the drip marks do run up. The drip marks are also an excellent representation of Rothko's use of very thin layers of paint to produce a depth in his paintings--those drips are nearly transparent.<br />

I clearly did not love Untitled as much as I loved the Lilac and Orange over Ivory since I did not take any detail pictures of Untitled. Well, I didn't take any detail pictures of the transitional piece either and I didn't even take a picture of the plaque for it. If a picture is worth a thousand words then the number of shots taken of each Rothko painting visually demonstrates my excitement level in each of the three pieces. However, I am truly thrilled to have gotten to see all three this summer.<br />

Her daughter who lived far away also helped by sending items that did not grow in the woman's part of the kingdom. But alas, the woman had no access to the leaves of the smoke bush. She really wanted to print with their leaves.<br />
<br />
The woman went on a vacation. It was a 14 day driving vacation. While the smoke bush is a less seen plant the woman saw several along the way. She was sorely tempted to pick leaves off the bush but she knew that taking things from others was called stealing so she did not. That went on for days until the next to the last day of the vacation.<br />

The women to her man that when she saw the next smoke bush she would anxiously knock on the door of the smoke bush owners and ask to pick the leaves. She knew they would think her a bit odd but the woman really wanted the leaves. The very next smoke bush she saw was the biggest one in the world! Surely the owners would let her pick a few leaves since the bush had millions of leaves. So, the man pulled into the very long driveway and with trepidation the woman went looking for the owners.<br />

Rather than knocking on the door to the house, the woman heard talking from the behind the house and she went there to see who she might find. It was a man and his adult son working on some farm equipment. Really big farm equipment. The son was working on a truck and was closer so the woman asked about the smoke bush. He looked at her with wonder, said he didn't see why not, but said she would have to speak to his father since the father owned the smoke bush. The man climbed out of the cab of a huge tractor when he saw the woman approach. The woman explained she was an artist and in need of some leaves from the magically smoke bush. He grinned and said, "It is really big isn't it." The woman whole heartedly agreed. He then gave her permission to pick the leaves.<br />

The woman picked leaves until the hardcover book she was using to press the leaves could absolutely not hold one more leaf. She knew that soon those leaves would leave wonderful prints on silk.<br />

Boy, do I have a lot of texture and patterns to share. These are from the Harvard Museum of Art. All but the last are detail shots from the Aboriginal Art Exhibit. The last is the metal chairs in the museum's cafeteria. Enjoy!<br />

As always, when I start de-cluttering and worrying about what to do with the plethora of scraps I have, I start a new scrap quilt. So, I have come up with a new set of rules to organize and sew the scraps. This quilt will be mostly dark, improvisational, and bedsized. Like that will use up all my scraps. HAH!<br />
<br />
When I told my daughter Ellen that I had started a new quilt she asked if I had finished my Flying F quilt. No, it is still up on the design wall although it does have more pieces than this.<br />

Okay, she went on, how about the quilts for my niece's Jennifer's sons? I have told you about them before. When the boys were born I was into crocheting so I crocheted baby afghans for them. Jennifer told me two reunions ago that a afghan does not a quilt make I guess that I "owe" her two quilts. I have the tops made but they aren't quilted yet. Sewing the pieces together is so much more fun that the quilting.<br />

Our new grandson, Spencer, is several months old now and I haven't finished his quilt yet either. It will be made up of old shirts of Grampy Floyd so it will be even more special for the grandkids, providing I get the 4 done that I behind. I don't even have a picture of them yet since they are still just a pile of shirt material. At least I have cut them into yardage rather than collars and sleeves.<br />
<br />
Okay, back to the scrap quilt I started writing about. I have about half of the blocks made. I would have gotten more done this weekend but I had a horrible cold and laid in bed instead. I'll probably get back to it, or one of the other quilts, soon when I feel better.<br />

Penny loves sewing with tiny wee scraps. So do I. I can't bear to throw a scrap away. If it is an inch by an inch then it is big enough to keep. If it is 3/8" wide and long then even better. I have totes and totes of scraps.<br />
<br />
Lately I have been on a declutter kick and have been packing up lots of my clutter to give to Goodwill. See, I am not only decluttering but serving the community at the same time. I can't do that with the scraps. Goodwill would just look at them in astonishment and throw them away. They have no imagination.<br />
<br />
Every time I consider throwing away my scraps I think I'll just start another sewing project and I do. But let's face it, I could sew for the rest of my life and still have scraps to sew. And it is not like sewing all the scraps together would actually solve the problem. When I sew I make more scraps so they will <b>never</b> be totally gone. I won't even get into the metaphysical property of scrap procreation.<br />

But then a genius idea came to me. I mean, really <b>really</b> genius. One of my art projects is to reconstruct dresses that have started falling apart. Let me explain. It started with a lovely quote that said that life is fragile and we all hang by a thread or even end up on the ground in a pile of scraps. At that point we can choose to reweave ourselves into a beautiful unique tapestry or settle for being nothing much. So, I have started buying linen or cotton dresses at Goodwill, putting them in the compost pile and letting them partially decay. Then, and here is the fun part, sewing them back into a work of art. I just had a show with three of my Hanging By a Thread dresses.<br />

<br />
Okay, the genius idea is that I can throw some of the scraps into the compost pile to rot into wonderful scraps to use on my rotten dresses. Isn't that genius? If I wait too long then the scraps will be rich compost. If I get them out in time then the scraps will be perfect for my dresses. I am just a genius. I can't help it.<br />
