Howdy all - Creativity has been flowing. This past weekend I spent with Georgia Deaver in a 2 day workshop on Design. The approach to the workshop was one like I've never experienced before, but then again I've never taken a design class either. The golden mean which is extremely analytical, but for me it was easy to understand having a background in engineering and made perfect sense to me. As this was Calligraphy based many pieces of calligraphic art was shown and discussed. So much detailed info was packed into the short 2 days it was information overload. Only 2 projects were individual and in fact even the individual projects were looked at by everyone and then discussed as a group. The group projects were fun because as artists the chance to work in groups is few and far between and the feedback that others have is vital. What a great weekend it was. Now I have a few pieces that were in mock up that needed to be transformed into finished pieces which is were the true fun begins!
Now the weekend prior I got into an organic/wired mood and took already create "stones" and turned them into bracelets and pendants. The "stones" are actually created from polymer clay using a technique called Mokume Gane. Just creating those stones is soooo much fun, but to have them in a complete piece is way too cool. In fact I donated a bracelet and pendant to be in a breast cancer charity auction this past weekend.
