Multi - Medial

Years ago in Art school we were taught to work in lots of different medias. The portfolio we submitted covered six different types of art ; two types of three dimensional sculpture , and four types of 2-D work , including the photography used to submit our slides ( are the images submitted digitally these days....I know we've switched to that for art shows ).

Working in all these different areas put me outside my comfort zone , but I'm glad it did. It's come in handy. And allowed me to work in two different craft media at once , which may have doubled my profits.

There's glass :

painted glass tree - stained glass frame

And there's free - form crochet :

And sometimes there are other things:

These are wet - felted fairy nests. We needed some more fiber stuff for a show at the gallery. It gave me a chance to play.

More stuff for the fiber show. Here I yarn - bombed a child's rocking chair and added wings to it . Not sure why.

This guy is a needle - felted greenman tapestry I made for my booth at the Renaissance Faire . I had a hard time keeping the cats off this as I worked.

Then there's my only venture into public art. This is the Mirror Wolf . Part of the Raleigh Red Wolf Ramble . Yes , that's a whole bunch of individual mirror placed on him with adhesive. And yes , I'm out of my mind to have done that.

But you can see I haven't been bored.
