Week #16 Indigo Angels

The "angels" are a doll I made when I was into dying and had an indigo vat. The background is also indigo but I played around with color changes on the computer. I was thinking of the holidays and also the angels dancing on the head of a pin. Couldn't quite figure out how to work a pin into the design, although I haven't given up on that idea - it needs more time. Kay Dolezal

Week #15 A little different direction

This week I've switched gears a bit. I used an image I had drawn in 1991 when I was fascinated by the backs of trucks. I was driving a lot between Waltham and Worcester. I printed it on fabric so I could embroider it. I may do more stitching on this piece - I'm not sure. I really like using both the computer and hand work and hope to do more of this. It felt like a mini breakthrough. Kay Dolezal

Week #14

This week I came across this poem by e.e. cummings and wanted to use it. I love the poem's spare statement and the shape of it. So I gave myself a holiday from writing haiku.
I had taken several photos of leaves and found one which as you see I played with using Photoshop. And I used a net I had from my collection.
So here is my week #14 effort.

Week #13 image

This week I was thinking of the past, not in the present moment so much. Because of the approaching holidays I was thinking of my mother. Thanksgiving especially was a big holiday for her because of the cooking involved. I think she enjoyed it; she certainly always got praise for it and we cleaned our plates.
So this is a little picture I have of her as a child. The lower part was burned by a cigarette so it doesn't show much of her pretty dress. But it shows her flower hat and her expression which is remarkably consistent with her adult personality. At least in part. Kay Dolezal

Weeks #11 and #12

Here are my pieces for weeks 11 and 12. I hope they show how the time of year has been on my mind. I've been enjoying playing with Photoshop. Kay Dolezal

Piece for Week # 10

I was struck by the mandated return to Standard Time taking place this weekend and it seemed to be amazingly relevant to our Time Project. I used some pieces of previous work to make a collage with Photoshop Elements. Kay Dolezal
