Goose out of water?

As I drove thru an old parking lot- I came upon this interesting fellow.

Right in the middle of curbs and concrete- Do you ever feel like a "goose" out of water? I do when I have to pretend I know how to "art talk." I recently read a review that described the artist work as deskilled. Work that is meant to confuse and disgust the viewer. Wow-that sounds like bad art to me! but I don't know "artese." Wonder if you can take a course on that one?

QR Quilt

Happy Good Friday. Little bit of sewing, little bit of cooking, tiny bit of housework. Finished my QR Cambridge quilt. It reads- try it!

It all started with a bag of wool scraps. First I made wrist cuffs and than I used the scraps in a piece of work. Adds a nice dimension, easy to hand stitch. Called Density.

Dorothy Caldwell work

Had a chance to view the Dorothy Caldwell exhibition-mesmerizing! Ends June 1, 2014, Peterborough Art Gallery.

QR Quilt- every time I see a QR code, it reminds me of a pieced quilt - so I decided to try making a QR quilt - AND it reads! So fun. I started by enlarging the code (in a word doc.) so each square is approximately 1/4". Converting each 1/4" to 1" squares - the rest is easy. (Fused dark onto a white ground.) I have yet to quilt it, will post a pic of the finished piece. Questions, just ask. 

This is my black and white printer copy, the yellow marks are my why of keeping track of which squares I completed.

Here it is yet to be quilted or edged.

Glass vases in the garden!

Look at these great glass garden totems. Saw them in an antique shop window Neustadt, Ontario, while visiting studios in the Saugeen Studio tour weekend. Many wonderful creative people.
