Find me on instagram

I've been a little absent from this blog for a while. I've just been a little busy with "work" work that i have not been able to do my artwork for a while. What i have been doing is sketching ideas and sometimes sharing them on instagram. Here are some glimpses of my sketchbook.





Here's some stitching work i've been working on.

Getting organized

I just got this desk caddy from Peg and Awl on the mail yesterday. I love it! All my tools are so organized!! Plus the wood looks like it belongs with the creatures living on the walls above my desk.

Small plant thing

Well... i'm not sure what he is going to be yet, but i imagine him walking around my table after i go to sleep. Maybe he'll figure out what he wants to be and will let me know someday.

Pinning butterflies

I have found Pinterest to be an amazing tool for collecting all the reference images that i use as inspiration for my work. Back in the day (meaning 6 month ago) i used to look for images online and save them on folders on my computer. What was i thinking?? Pinterest has changed all of that.

As you can see from the board above i was really into butterflies for the past months. These are some of the images i gathered for my latest work.



This is the image i use for this piece which is part of my Metamorphosis installation in my last show.

Take a look at my other boards on Pinterest. Beware! I like to pin a lot of insects, weird plants, strange flowers, grass, moss, animals, etc.

My studio at home

My studio at home its kind of there. I still need to organize it a little better. My cat has a permanent spot on the table so i have to constantly move things around.

Sigh...

A rose petal i'm working on. I'll be making more of this soon. Have some ideas going around in my head.

Wings

Something i've been working on lately. Bees, flies and dragonfly wings.

Artist in Residence Exhibition at the Textile Arts Center

I was finally able to get some photos of the exhibition up online. The week of the opening was my last week of the residency at TAC and that meant i had to move my studio back home on the week end. I was able to take photos of my work and move my studio all in one day. It wasn't easy as we've had a couple of really hot days lately and getting organized has been a challenge.



Here's a photo of all the pieces together. My work is quite small so this little corner was perfect for it.
