Idea for project-relief map

Crumple a blank 8.5 x 11-inch sheet into a tight ball. Smooth it out. Use it to create a relief map of your life, or your character's life, and use the map as a writing starter.
You may want to "start at one corner of the piece and trace a random map from your earliest memory to where you are today... or let yourself go off into different pathways and roadways, detours. Let your mind wander. This is not a linear exercise."

Bigger Threadwork

I worked yesterday and off and on all day today on this bigger piece. It's about 13" x 7" and includes pieces of silk organza and loose weave cotton fabric. I rinsed the solvy out and may add more to it tomorrow.

Here's a shot of Thread Pangaea, all my bits laid out together:

Dumbo district...where is it in NYC?

Nisha,

Thanks for all of the great resources....funny, I've a lot of sketches of arches and such, harking back to the Norman cathedrals I saw in Sicily...but I LOVE these! Just wondering what part of the city they reside....

DUMBO district doors

I love these old doors in a warehouse in the DUMBO district in New York City.

Association of Teaching Artist

This website is really helpful I signed up for their listserv. Which they had job postings and also questions you never thought to ask. Even though this is for New York State teachers there is a lot of helpful information on the website.

Art horizons/resources for educators an artist

As I mentioned in my other post art horizons is a another place to look for resources for educators are artists wanting to teach in school systems. They work in the New York City metro area.

Bubbles

New thread bubbles. Sewn on solvy with my new machine and playing with white top thread and assorted bobbin thread colors. I'm thinking of cutting out windows in prints and adding this behind the opening. Looks like bubbles, sea life, or something organic.
