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.
