Craft Production....HIGH

So for the past couple of Sunday's, craft production and creativity has been low in Seattle. Well things have changed. Last Sunday we met at Karen's house and it was a flurry of activity.

Karen, inspired by her trip to New York, sketched African shields for upcoming prints. Plus she gave me an education in all things Speedball. Speedball is a brand of intaglio tools used for print making. I think I'm going to try my hand at linoleum cuts.

Maureen bought this beautiful gauzy blue print fabric for a peasant top. She was busy cutting out her pattern with Mr. Sato supervising production from his comfortable chair.

Kintea was making wire contraptions for work. The contraptions involved copper wire wrapped around a yard stick. She then cut the wire and created wire loops. To be honest, I haven't a clue what they're to be used for but I know it involves birds.

My orange capelet is coming along. I had to rip it out and start from scratch. Since I was home sick end of last, week I had plenty of time to knit. I am about 4-inches in, only 13 more to go. Friday night I was totally bored and feeling not so hot. I was inspired by Greg and his decoupage. So I grabbed my scissors and started cutting out letters in cool fonts. Chris can probably identify the fonts from his typography class. I see a decoupaged bowl in my near future.

This Sunday, c-n-c takes a break for the Oscars. Productivity will return back to HIGH soon.
