Two forgotten Windows

 

(Above:  Window CCXXIV. Layers of polyester stretch velvet fused together on black, synthetic felt; free motion machine stitched; melted with soldering irons and a heat gun. Framed: Custom framed: 19 1/4: x 17 1/4". $275 plus tax and shipping.)

July was a busy month. August has been one too.  September promises more of the same.  In October, however, things will be different because I'll be in Hamilton, Montana as an artist-in-residence.  I'm excited but I'm also aware that a few things have slipped through the cracks ... like these to Windows.  

(Above:  Window CCXXV.)

I know how it happened.  Window CCXXIII got finished, mounted, photographed, framed, and blogged but we ran out of glass for the two finished shortly afterwards.  Because we've retired from full time framing and only frame my artwork nowadays, we delayed ordering more glass until we needed other items as well.  Thus, the two Windows sat around on my mat cutter for a couple of weeks.  By that time, I had finished several Found Object Mandalas ... which were framed (without glass), photographed, and blogged.  I even managed to post these mandalas to social media. Somehow or the other, I forgot to blog these two Windows in the excitement of the other, finished artwork.  Things happen!  This happened ... and I'm hoping to be more diligent in the future.  Social media posts are nice but this blog is my running documentation of finished artwork.
