It has been a while... I did a course called Principles of Design. I learned a lot a produced a lot of pieces.  Then I got into making Christmas presents - made eight pairs of pillowcases and have knitted a few hats. This one was a lot of fun - a Woolywormhead design.

Intentional Piecing

Just finished the course Intentional Piecing. Here are my pieces. I learned so much... all my rulers are gone!  I have finally found my voice. I have done another remake of the final image and will add that picture later today.  I start my next class tomorrow - Design Principles.  This way of learning totally suits me... I like the fast pace, continual feedback, and learning.  I am accomplishing so much more in my studio as I am more focused and even getting other projects completed and making new artist friends around the world.

Here is my remake of the piece.

Winter is Coming

Lots of snow on Hudson Bay Mtn this morning...

and just finished two cozy night gowns - so winter can come..


Intentional Piecing

Intentional Piecing:   Yes, they are wonky - the focus is to  cut pieces without a ruler and try not to have corners match. It is hard to not square up the outside - but I think that will be my own voice - love the uneven shapes. Similar to provisional piecing, except no ruler.  Same piece, two orientations. I need a 60mm rotary cutter, which I bought in Burns Lake. I used a similar process when I made the blue and yellow wonky curves.
