msfledermaus...Listening to the Cocteau Twins (again) and knitting a sleeve for my new sweater and all of a sudden I felt this wonderful serenity...maybe it was the combination of knitting, soothing music and something They(tm) spiked the apple juice with. I just know it felt meditative and blissful.
And I went on to grab all kinds of mixed-media materials and worked on the new piece for the show, titled "Pillow Book". It's almost done. It was half done before, just sitting and waiting to be mounted on it's new mini-scaffold. I need new batteries for the digital camera, so it goes like this...
(I forget the html for the cut, so I'll try to make it brief.)
6 inch by 6 inch wooden panels in two rows of three panels each.(Uhh...that would be six. The sculpture of the Beast. heh. heh heh.) The first rows are:
1: an aged white painted square with a hollow in the middle, holding a small red plastic heart wrapped round the middle with white silk thread. There are lacy rosebuds carved into the paint, and a rose leaf glued onto the right.
2: A black square with a raised center covered in suedes and snippets of leather. In the middle is a ceramic window with a glass eye looking out. On the bottom right is a piece of tarnished gold knit wire. Words from an old letter to an ex-boyfriend are carved into the paint.
3: A red painted square with red rocaille beads in random horizontals, with bright red roses and spirals carved into the paint. Two rows of bright red glass seed beads cut across the piece diagonally.
4: A gold painted square with a mica rectangle in the center. The paint around it is speckled with gold glitter. (It still needs some detail work. I'm planning some subltle shiny things for a border.)
5: A square covered in old work musings, pages ripped out from a copy of the Phantasmagorical Tarot, bits of knitting patterns. they are all scorched and stained, except for the shoji paper in the middle, which holds 3 feng-shui quotes taken out of context.
6: a square paitned black and sprinkled with gren glitters, with a square of plexiglass over it. (I need to finish the frame, it's going to be a small spirit mirror.)
I'm a little worried it'll look too tight, since the tiles are very close to each other, but I think it'll still work out okay. actually, I'm kind of proud:) When the muse whacks me with the big fat mallet, she means business...
