Recently I participated in an art walk at KNWR back in November. The theme was recycled materials. I had been working on these jellyfish for my First Friday art show at Octopus Ink Gallery in Anchorage this month and decided to give Kodiak a little preview of the swarm I was working on. The jellyfish are made from plastic bottles and bags along with wire and yarn. The purpose if this installation is to draw attention to the growing problem of plastic in our marine ecosystem. I would like to see Kodiak embrace an ordinance banning plastic bags in our community, as many other coastal communities in the state of Alaska have already done so.yarnpunkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02034164639752861109noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16557281.post-68820829892575729782012-12-15T22:10:00.004-09:002012-12-15T22:10:59.884-09:00Beautiful Brushes<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Created last school year during my residency at Peterson Elementary in Kodiak, Alaska. It is a combination of wet felting an needle felting depicting the life cycle of the salmon. The finished piece measures approximately 4'x3'.yarnpunkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02034164639752861109noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16557281.post-39269646219662083972012-05-04T01:05:00.001-08:002012-05-04T01:05:32.133-08:00ArtFest 2012Here are some highlights from Show and Tell night:<br />

The last workshop I participated in at ArtFest this year was "Brushes Gone Bad" with Michael DeMeng. The idea was to turn a paint brush into something slightly sinister using found objects, doll parts and toys. The magic that fused all these parts together was Aves two part Apoxie Clay and a little E6000. So with only 45 minutes until the clay hardens, I sculpted together my doll and toy parts to create this little imp with his unicycle legs. </div>

Once the clay had completely hardened I painted everything black then went</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
over it with a dry brush of white paint to highlight all the textures and features. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The next step was to color wash over the white using several of Michael's color mixtures. </div>

Another workshop I participated in at ArtFest was Books Unbound by Lorraine Reynolds. I made two books in this class. The first was a Mariner's inspired book. To create the compass I used a pocket watch case, an image transfer of a compass rose and a small anchor charm. The photo of the fisherman I used came from an old knitting pattern book of fishermen sweaters from Ireland and the UK and was made into a transparency. You can see the original old german text of the book behind the image. The border around the photo is an old broken metal picture frame. This is the inside of the book. There are a few more pages inside that I am still working on.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirrEJY60_rbMtOMyTnLXR1Vbjy5H2Na-RJylG7ns52JIiUFYPYXh9fcsKdyxxa8OSZl1DcVVqtAynNWMPLET34owQqPAwIX8YrkGSmlFyxzXBlTyV8iq_0xJu7dukLumffPtvibQ/s1600/IMG_4410.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirrEJY60_rbMtOMyTnLXR1Vbjy5H2Na-RJylG7ns52JIiUFYPYXh9fcsKdyxxa8OSZl1DcVVqtAynNWMPLET34owQqPAwIX8YrkGSmlFyxzXBlTyV8iq_0xJu7dukLumffPtvibQ/s320/IMG_4410.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
Below is the back and front of the book. The image of the sextant is a contact paper transfer on metal. The ships wheel on the cover is also mounted on a disc of rusted metal that is barely visible through the spokes of the wheel. Fishing net adds strength to the binding of the book as the spine fell off and I have to say I like the exposed staples and binding cloth that is visible between the the mesh.<br />

The second book I made was a small pocket german/english dictionary that I found at a thrift store. I cut in to the cover to add more depth behind the keyholes and added some chain with several small skeleton keys to the spine and used a crackle paint effect to add texture to the cover.</div>

Inside the book I added a transparency photo of a man with a mustache with the image of a pocket watch behind him. The frame around the image is actually something I found on the beach. There is a layer of rusted paper towel over the pages. I still have some watch parts I want to add to the page opposite the photograph that will fit into the image opening when the book is closed. The title of this piece is "The Key to Success is Having a Well Groomed Mustache".<br />

This year at ArtFest I was lucky enough to take a workshop with one of my favorite artists</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://theoellsworth.blogspot.com/">Theo Ellsworth</a>. Out of all of the workshops I signed up for, this one terrified me the most. Armed with a pencil, a few pens and a blank sheet of paper, I was sent on an expedition into the unknown territory of my imagination. Why would this terrify me when I create things all the time? Mostly because I'm accustomed to creating something out of something. Assemblage, collage, sculpting, sewing... but in Imaginary School you are being asked to create something from the intangible realms of thought and imagination. This was a slightly painful process for me. Enough so that I gave myself a headache and felt exhausted by the end of class. That being said, the whole experience was amazing in that I managed to blaze a trail into a whole new realm where I met my imaginary self. At first I thought I was meeting this self for the first time, but soon realized that I knew this self already. Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, I had lost my imaginary self and eventually forgot all about her. Now she and I have a lot of catching up to do and experiences to share!</div>

So... after introducing ourselves to the ghost of an Ancient Multi-Dimensional Earth Native (thats the pale guy standing in front of the large match) and lighting said match with our imaginations, we were asked to draw our imaginary selves wearing a Mind Technology Powered Dis-Belief Suspension Suit. </div>

Once we finished drawing our imaginary selves and were geared up for multi-dimensional travel, it was time to teleport through our first portal into another world. Cutting out our imaginary selves was not an easy thing to do. The rational self very much wants to keep the imaginary self firmly adhered to the page. Once free (and pasted to the inside of the folded paper) our imaginary selves were free to explore this new dimension. Here is my as of yet unfinished work in progress:</div>

The ultimate in guerilla art! Try smuggling one of these into your local watering hole and swapping it out.

These were created for the "Cap It" Bottle Cap Art Show and were a collaboration between myself and fellow local artist and friend <a href="http://www.wickedwomankodiak.etsy.com/">Chrissy Johnsrud</a>. The show ran for the month of September in the Harbor Building hosted by Emerald Isle Framing, The Rookery Fiber Art Shop and Kodiak Island Brewing Company.yarnpunkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02034164639752861109noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16557281.post-505466456164849082011-10-11T22:58:00.003-08:002011-10-11T22:58:54.195-08:00Art on Display<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This piece was created with help from students at North Star Elementary during my residency there last year. It was donated to the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge Visitors Center and is currently on display. The background is painted and collaged fabric stretched over a frame. Anemone and rocks were created out of felted wool and stitched down. The fish and jellyfish were constructed from recycled materials.yarnpunkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02034164639752861109noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16557281.post-44461731755294442862011-06-18T21:03:00.003-08:002011-06-18T21:23:44.634-08:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHMcaVGORzaC_lvA-SA54GiQ3JgAWnPOoJITIZ4SGgtEpXzS2Tr8jxVJUb1uKCDD8YAZ3HztLehnEk-oQUc3pH5U8vXQs0jgadesCNiaSCIrL2Izm6SUhgjba5-vYFe7PedPwNhw/s1600/IMG_1932.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHMcaVGORzaC_lvA-SA54GiQ3JgAWnPOoJITIZ4SGgtEpXzS2Tr8jxVJUb1uKCDD8YAZ3HztLehnEk-oQUc3pH5U8vXQs0jgadesCNiaSCIrL2Izm6SUhgjba5-vYFe7PedPwNhw/s400/IMG_1932.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5619792795477128434" /></a>It's been waaaaaay too long since I last carded fibers for spinning. I'm still getting settled into my new studio space and have finally unpacked everything- most of it stuff I haven't seen in a few years. I'm currently in the process of carding up ALL of my of spinning fibers. Not sure if these batts will make it on to etsy... I really want to spin them!!! I still have more to card up. I'm about half way through my stash I think. There's still a whole other stash of fibers for dying, and another for felting. Dye pots are next on the to-do list I think.yarnpunkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02034164639752861109noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16557281.post-46013312923843121552011-05-04T13:19:00.002-08:002011-05-04T13:26:51.074-08:00Sketchbook: Alutiiq Petroglyphs<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBGm90loMKvqrShvcBbxGtLYfnCKAZriBqBaIxAZzK36ZBNeTGcx_xTVlOuE5aiysx8Wj6UU4EVY-UooFBuJgb1hyphenhyphenmO0ED3g3Uvp3U_h8CCrMaqkGPaV2-TN5htw8VSXyZYN8ebA/s1600/IMG_1082.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block;
