This week was all about making new finished pieces to submit to the Zea Mays flat file in which I am honored to be included.
New collages! Last of 2016 and first of 2017 - 30 x 22"
I always want to send the latest and greatest, and this year, that means that I want to submit the faux consumerist garbage with creatures in patterned landscapes with Gothic architectural elements...(except, of course, I didn't actually have anything like that, as of last week, haha; so, I made new things.)
I'm working as hard as I can, and hoping to have three 30 x 22" collages (since that's as far as I've gotten with the seven deadly sin blocks.) So far, I have 2. The last piece of 2016, Gluttony, and the first piece of 2017, Greed:
 |
| Last Collage of 2016! 30 x 22," mixed media including relief and polyester lithography prints, ink, acrylic, color pencil, on paper. |
 |
| First piece of 2017! 30 x 22," mixed media including relief and polyester lithography prints, ink, acrylic, color pencil, on paper. (How did I get this 22 x 30" piece of the large tree block on such short notice? - I hand printed it with a spoon - biiiiig Oy.) |
 |
| Especially stoked about how well the transparency turned out in the Avarice-shopping bag - thumbs up! |
 |
| To fully focus on getting these made, I told myself that I was absolutely not to carve any new blocks.... but then I reeeeeally needed these rosettes. Just oooooone more little block? O:) |
 |
| The holes are to sew the pieces down with tread that matches or accentuates the piece (I used silver in the bug wings so that they actually shimmer - nice!) This is the laaaast part I need to sew down on this piece, (and I hate leaving holes in the face) sooooo back to work. Wish me luck! |
