Etc……
Samples of my work for
posterity…
The staff of St Madeleine Sophie In Bellevue,
WA asked for “paint” on Mahogany
to refresh the
weekday altar.
It seemed to need more depth than could be achieved on a flat
surface.
So, permission was granted to carve the wood.
It was then
touched with an acrylic wash before the final stain & varnish.
[For another event
A Paper Lace Banner
was requested.

These are
pictures of a main example (that
received Second Place at WWSF 2005); Showing the
Bald Eagle bearing a banner of “Strength – Freedom –Peace” amongst
storm clouds with glow-in-the-dark lightening in the cracks &
crevasses. They can be
done by request for $150 - $150. |
An entry that won Second Place in a
Call for Art competition:
“King County Elections seeks artwork
for use in training and outreach materials that illustrate
the sacred importance of voting among
the disabled community. Art will be judged on
themes that promote independence, privacy, patriotism, voting, and diversity.”
Forgive me
Faeries! On our master bedroom’s southern window I painted this.
The heat of the
sun was just too much!
It should be obvious that it is a risk
to contradict a
professor,
-- but I never could help myself…

Final
Project for The Principles of Dye & Dying,

University of Washington
Rain
in the Northwest – Wall Hanging
An array of
spun fibers: wool, cotton, silk, rayon…
To illustrate
the variation of each one’s acceptance of the chosen colors.
Accented with
assorted beads.
Showing our
standard Washington weather. Rain.
Working with
the trees in our western side of “the Green State.”
Macramé was not
considered a reliable way to demonstrate the dying process, but it was
successful.

It took 15 minutes of the staff
picking through the rules,
to
convince them to admit this jacket
in the “Calligraphy –On Other
Surface” category
of the Western
Washington State Fair, in Puyallup.
It
received the Blue Ribbon.
Being a Lifetime Girl Scout, that
was quite satisfying.

The next year this
piece was entered, done on a more formal denim jacket
with an
antiqued scroll effect,
It
received the 2005 Blue Ribbon & Grand Champion Awards.
As you can see,
the light green accent, on both jackets, glows in the dark.
It is done with
©Golden Acrylic’s Phosphorescent Green...
a very
entertaining tone.
