Friday Collage - Wk 11 & Wk12




adenoviridae



I'm not sure if the science community would necessarily agree with my interpretation of this virus. Clearly it does not have the icosahedral symmetry associated with the virus.







HIV




For Wk12, I attempted a stylized rendering of the human immunodeficiency virus.

Friday Collage - Wk 10





Blood Clot



What a title! I suppose I could have called it "erythrocytes trapped in a mesh of fibrin threads" - oh well.

There was detail on the red blood cells that I lost when I put on the top layer of "mesh." I was also concerned that the blue and red wouldn't work well but the touch of pink the the fabric used for the mesh helps pull the colors together.

Friday Collage - Wk 08 & Wk 09




Landscape IV




This final collage for February was easy enough - I stacked three layers of fabric, stitched on the landscape pattern I had been using all month, and then cut away some of the fabric. I added two trees to the foreground to finish the piece.







Deconstructed Respiratory Virus




Since the collage theme for March is Microscopic World, I decided to start it off with the virus I'm still trying to shake!




Now, my goal is to get current with the TAST Challenge!

Friday Collage - Wk 05



Landscape I












The theme for this month's Friday Collages is Landscapes and in an effort to try to figure out what to do this morning I did a quick sketch.

As I started thinking about what colors would work I decided that I would use the same sketch throughout the month and "see" how the landscape changed with the different palettes and surfaced design techniques I chose.

This week I started with a beige fabric and used a variegated yarn to sketch in the lines - colored, stitched, and even threw in a little detached chain stitches.

Friday Collage - Wk 02




hello moto


My morning usually starts with an Americano. When I reached into the cupboard this morning I saw a mug that I use to keep on my desk at work. Work was ALWAYS in an urgent/crises mode - that's just the way it was. When needed, I would reach for the mug and put it on table between me and the person that was "demanding" my immediate response to something. The phrase stays with me but family demands and cellphones present new challenges in everyday life!

I was inspired to try and do something with this view out my kitchen window this morning -
but it was too cold and too white. I really needed something a bit brighter to work on.
