The Flower Our multicolored layered beads were a favorite. We learned the basic skills first on making the round beads. The picture above shows a student rolling the what will become the flower. She is applying pressure to the bumpy bubble wrap which has been tied around a foam tube to give the fibers the necessary agitation and pressure to felt. Here are some photos of the beautiful creations from my Felted Bead Making Class at Fiber Options ( a fabulous--take your breath away-- yarn and fabric store) in Rensselaer Falls. The photo above of the set up looks likes a very unusual dinner. The crock pots on the other table have the hot water in them for the felting process. Our dinner mats are a bath towel, a bamboo place mat, and some bubble wrap with a a squirt bottle of soap, and a coffee cup for soaking the beads in hot water or for pouring the hot water onto the felt. The bath towel did a good job of absorbing the extra hot water. The light blue box is upholstery foam for any needle felting we needed to do. Didn't actually do any. The three hours went by fast but we were able to finish two kinds of beads and a gorgeous flower, as seen in the picture.

A tale of an IAEA Student Chapter Roundtable Presentation. [flickr id=”6463833451″ thumbnail=”medium” overlay=”true” size=”original” group=”” align=”none”] Before the IAEA Conference, my colleague in the Art Education MAT program, Keli Campbell, and I applied to present at the IAEA Student Chapter Roundtable. Our main interest and goal was to present a demonstration and lesson plan idea on Collagraph Printing. [flickr id=”6463825895″ thumbnail=”medium” overlay=”true” size=”original” group=”” align=”none”] What is Collagraphy? Collagraphy is a print-making process where various materials are glued to a hardboard to create a raised texture. The collaged collagraph plate can then be printed with a press or by hand with a roller. [flickr id=”6463828383″ thumbnail=”medium_640″ overlay=”true” size=”original” group=”” align=”center”] A few examples of various materials that can be used for Collagraph textures are: leaves, seeds, string (hemp), acrylic paint, crushed paper, bubble rap, sandpaper, cardboard, grass, and many others...

Pottery art pieces from ancient to contemporary, antiquity to futuristic, unusual to utilitarian, quirky to conservative. There’s always something to say with the 3D forms fashioned from that pliable clay. The versatile bounty of the earth keeps experiencing new ways to be interpreted and appreciated while its deep past provides fascinating revelations. The earth's grounded passivity gets awakened and emboldened by the kinetic application of the potter and projects a new balance through interaction with the restless fire dynamic and defined spaces. While a daily update is aspired to, it is usually otherwise with new entries appearing weekly at the least. Jump to latest

I've finally got around to posting these new stamps in my Etsy shop. I made them a couple of weeks ago but taking photos and then processing them takes up quite a chunk of time. I hope to list some necklaces shortly. and another page in my journal I'm really enjoying working in this journal. It sits on my desk and I add paper, paint, stamping, whatever is on my desk when I walk past. It usually talks the whole day to complete spending a couple of minutes here and there. This is really no stress art. Thanks again for visiting and your lovely comments.
