The New Studio

Yes, it is time to start on a new workspace. In order to do that I have to clear one space so I can move the stuff from the proposed workspace out. Everything has an equal and opposite action. Slow- like Democracy. But it is the process and well, there you go!
I will have space for the three looms at the house,  and if I need to move from our downtown studio (we are just checking our numbers and time and no plans are made to move. And actually, I hate to cut off that part of my life. I love that studio and the art-hood!) I will have space.
I've had some pretty productive work time lately, in spite of the killer goldenrods and leaves! they are beautiful and make my head ache. I have three scarf warps ready to tag and hang, three babyblankets ready to tag and hang-- well, they need their fringe trimmed. They are soft- like the ones I made for Wade. But pinker. Should be just as much fun to pee on as the blue ones, too.
And I have been working onmore blocks for printing. I still want to try morewoodblocks but my hands have been really sore lately- yardwork, house repair, stuff. Maybe when the trees are all trimmed and pruned and I've gotten in some rest. Yeah. like that will happen!

I started on a printed piece during the summer as a demo and then began embellishing it. I didn't start out thinking symmetry and now it is somewhat like the eye of Sauron, but some stitches, bits and pieces of found objects should change that a bit. We'll just have to see! I used found objects to print on muslin with ProChem textile pigments. The fabric is definitely soft enough to stitch through. I do like these pigments... I want to try different bases sometime soon. I have a few ideas to work through... I am thinking of a little stuffing, too.
