Large Lancet Window XII

(Above:  Large Lancet Window XII.  Custom framed: 51" x 21".  Layers of polyester stretch velvet fused to recycled black packaging felt with free-motion machine embroidery and melting techniques.  Click on any image to enlarge.)

Today I plan on sorting through the hundreds of photos I took while visiting Prague.  I plan to write a nice, long post on the fabulous experience. Blogging about travel is something I absolutely love to do.  It makes sense out of all the images.  It allows me to think about all the inspirational artwork I saw.  It allows me to share the trip with others ... but ... it has to take a backseat to my normal studio practice.

Every day since arriving home, I've been working!  I promised the Grovewood Gallery four Large Lancet Windows by the end of the month.  It's a lot of work but thankfully, I'm on schedule!  I just finished the first of the four.  By "finished", I mean constructed, stitched, melted, mounting, framed and photographed.  The second piece is in process.  So far, it's been constructed and stitched.

While this deadline is not a firm one, it is a challenge. (There's nothing holding me to the promise!  I didn't have to say anything at all ... much less a deadline!)  It is also extremely nice to know that the gallery representing me wants more of my work!

So it makes sense to put a blog post on the trip to Prague on the back burner ... but ... I have a couple hours later today.  Perhaps the post will be ready by tomorrow!
