It is absolutely gorgeous outside today! I am so thankful that all the snow is gone — at least for now. I know there is more in the forecast and also know it will not stick around. The evenings are getting warmer and most nights finally above freezing. I love the warmer weather, the brighter lighting, the flowers and longer days! Finally, it is time to quit dreaming about gardening and start digging!
Let me show you something that I have been playing around with. I have a pretty large rug started that is about mental illness and homeless people. It is called Urban Icons and all of the figures have some sort of iconic imagery. This is a mixed media piece in the sense that I am embedding rusty metal and found objects into the rug. This is a study of one of the figures that will be in the rug. She has a hubcap halo and the words URBAN ICONS are stamped into the metal. Doing a study of a portion of a large rug is a good way to firm up commitments to do things a certain way. Like most of my projects, this one has been percolating for a while. I think about it and then go on to other projects. Then when I start thinking about it again something has been edited out or brought in to the design.
