Well, I am busy with getting my daughters Halloween Costume ready. She of course expects Hollywood level special effects to turn her into Tim Burton's A Corpse Bride. I need to keep reminding her that it is a claymation/animation, and some of the effects she wants are unrealistic or even inappropriate for a 12 year old to year to a dance in the middle school cafeteria. Despite the annoyances of this project I do have other inspirations to keep me sane.
The Art Challenge for guild has me itching to get to work. It is to be an abstract composition in either warm or cool colors. I have been working with repeats of a pointed oval shape, fascinated by it all summer too, and I think I will play with some mixed media surface design. I have new texture plates, some super stencils, and new threads I am going to incorporate. The challenge with this shape is that it all too easily becomes something, leaf, canoe, flower petals, so keeping it abstract may become and issue. I will post more about this as the piece develops, it is not die till our January Meeting.
