This is the first of three pieces I'm going to have in a traveling exhibit curated by multi-talented artist and Northern Kentucky University instructor Paige Wideman. You'll probably want to check out Paige's website; she does some very cool work in a wide variety of media.
All of the pieces in the show have to be no more than 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches. This was kind of challenging for me- you know how much stuff I usually put in my work - but I learned a lot. I'll let you know the when's and where's of the exhibit as soon as I get the info.
And stay tuned- Seed Stories II and III will be posted soon!
I love this Sharmon & congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mo. I'm very unsure of myself when working so small!
DeleteSo much in such a tiny space...well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jo; I can't wait to work on something BIG!
DeleteQuite a beautiful piece. Nice to have work traveling!
ReplyDeleteHopefully the work will be seen by more people this way- or at least by people who wouldn't normally see it. Thanks, Valerianna.
Deletec'est la miniature qui m'a appris d'aller à l'essentiel ... mais j'aime ton travail, petit ou grand!beau!
ReplyDeleteMerci, Elfi! You're right- making things this small forces you to pare it down to the essentials, which is an important lesson.
DeleteThis is so inspirational...a seed story. Peace, Mary helen Fernandez Stewart
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are inspired, Mary Helen; I find a lot of inspiration in seeds, myself. Like magic, they break open and become something else...
DeleteI love this little piece, Sharmon! The simplicity appeals to me and the stitching takes it up a notch.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Robyn! Maybe doing these will inspire me to simplify my art a bit!
