ingredients: vintage book cover, vintage Japanese envelopes, vintage stamps, vintage book pages, image transfers, graphite drawing, watercolor pencils, metallic oil crayon, mica, stitching
This is a piece I'm working on for the upcoming (February) Print Club show at Northern Kentucky University, the theme of which is "In Your Dreams". This part is not quite finished, and will eventually be glued onto a larger book cover with more images. So far, I'm actually liking it, and when do I ever say that?
Stay tuned for further developments!
I can say....I am kind of liking this one too. Congratulations and have a happy Thanksgiving with those you Love!!! Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart

Lynne, thank you, I love what you said, "a beautiful flow". This one just seemed to flow, once I got it going...
DeleteI'm more than liking it!! It's an amazing piece, Sharmon.
ReplyDeleteRobyn, I don't know what to say! Thank you- I'm so happy that you like it!
Deleteand I am actually LOVING this (sorry for yelling). The stitching adds a glorious movement to it while uniting the two figures in a sweet complicity.
ReplyDeleteThat's ok, Lynne, I like yelling- I teach 8th-graders! Thank you so much; it's good to hear that others like it too. Hard to trust my own opinion sometimes, you know?
Deleteoh this is so full of magic and wonderment!
ReplyDeleteMo, so sweet of you! I'm hoping you and all your feathers are floating along on a favorable tailwind...
DeleteIsn't that great when you like the way your work is going? This is a wonderful piece and I can easily see why you like it. The composition is beautifully weighted.
ReplyDeleteYes, I greatly prefer this over the sense of frustration I usually feel- lol. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Mary Ann.
DeleteLOVE it - looks like she is spellbound
ReplyDeleteHi Deb- yes, i like that word, spellbound. I often feel that way in my dreams, don't you?
DeleteOh, I am liking it, too, Sharmon! The stitching is such a great component. -sus
