It's getting interesting seeing the diffrent personalities comming out in
this exercise. The level of talent is self evident from all who posted
already. With a news group like this you start forming visual images of the
others in the NG. Seeing all of your art is like getting a clearer focus on
each of you. It's a fascinating exercise not only for the participants but
also for the viewers. I'm going to get my web skills up so I can be part of
the next time out. In the mean time I'll gladly send some of my "junk mail"
to anyone who's interested.

you have a background in textiles (or am I misremembering?)... I
*really* like several of these...
I'd love a shirt from day 3 (something oriental or Indian in style)
and I want linens from day 4... maybe an entire outfit for a friend
from day 12 (I look like hell in yellow).
really enjoyed these, Carol.

It's interesting seeing your train of thought on some of those. It seems as
though days 5-8, you were working and modifying around the same kind of feel
with the vertical and horizontal stress. I noticed in my work as well where
there were sequential days of modifying an idea and trying it on the next
day. I also noticed this with Angela's work as well. Interesting stuff. I
think it show's our exploritative (is that a word at all? Can I spell?)
nature. My guess is we'll see the same sort of thing with a majority of the
work here, where there will be a sequential amount of days where an idea is
hammered out and shaped......

If I had a "dream" job other than the one I have now, it would be designing
one-of-a-kind fabrics. Day Three is actually a scan of handmade Chinese
paper that I painted to give it a tea-stained appearance.
Glad you liked them!

I think we share a few brain cells, Carol. Not many, mind you -- I don't
have much to share -- but there's a few. You'll see what I mean when I post
my work. Or maybe I'm speaking out of my butt.
Three and Six are my favorites. I get tired of the word, but "mood" is what
I look for in art, and these are solid. Three seems introspective (upon
itself), while Six is what I feel like most of the time. Twelve is sunny
and sweet.

Just noticed - 7's an English flag, but on its side with a big extra bar
across it!
Was that intentional?
I missed it all!
Did post a question sayin "what's going on - did i miss the original post?!"
on the 3rd day or something, but got ignored......oh well - there's always

stuff. Let's see... Days 2, 3, 4 (really love that), 6, 8, 12... and 14

live must reflect your work, which would make it a very pleasing place.

of the materials are far more natural than Photoshop -- even the
airbrush/spraycan. I like it a lot more for the creative work. For the
blah commercial stuff I use Photoshop.
Didn't notice the British flag.....I guess even though I left England almost
20 years ago, there's still a piece of the Union Jack that I carry along.

Interestingly (to me anyway), I liked the cropped thumbnail versions
better than the full versions in some cases. The lower left thumbnail
in particular was very simple yet appealing to me.
So really it was 28 days of art if you count all of the artistic
decisions that went into the cropping. You're all set for the next
round of 14 days. ;-)

Oooh, if all the fabrics around us looked that good... :)
My favs: 4, 8 and 10. Nice play with both tiny nuances and sharp
contrast. You really think textile, Carol - it's obvious.
Tender even when sharp - that's what comes to mind. Does this happen to
have something in common with your character? :)
One remark: #7 is too tall and doesn't fit @ 1024x768 so I couldn't see
the whole of it at once.

how do you go about getting something digital into something like a fine
art print? I did all but one of mine at 200 dpi thinking I might want
to run them off on my inkjet, of course they look like they were run off
an inkjet :-) I'm pretty sure my local print shop would think I'd gone
off the deep end if I brought in a CD with fourteen .tifs on it wanting
a "limited edition run" done. It's pretty primitive where I live,
they're basically dealing with small businesses doing things like
business cards and flyers, maybe an occasional poster. They just
freaked when I brought in a CD that I'd burned with my business card
layout on it, it took me a good fifteen minutes to get it through their
head that they could put this CD in their one and only PC and it would
work, that they didn't need a CD-R drive to use it. Anyway, is it
something that an average print shop can handle, or do you need to go to
somebody that deals specifically in fine art?

I have a ton of fabric around the house -- most of which I bought in India,
Guatemala, and different African countries. I have some beautiful saris --
cotton ones for every day wear (and I have worn them -- very comfy indeed)
and a couple salwar kameez from India -- again -- plain cotton for every
day. It's funny -- they're actually not so plain. Beautiful beadwork and
such.
I could go on and on..

I'm trying to find out how I can silkscreen or paint on silk some of the

But really, any printer should be able to handle the job -- just give them
the colour seps. Don't forget your films and matchprints!

a trip to Salt Lake City again, I really don't trust the print shop
here. The silkscreen thing...you ever hear of a Gocco machine? They
run about $100 to buy the smaller one, I've yet to run across a site
that gives really detailed information on how the thing works. The URL
for the manufacturer is:
http://www.gocco.com/
You can also try a search at AltaVista or wherever, I found a few sites
featuring art work done with it by searching for "gocco+machine". I
*think* it works by using a flash bulb (like you'd put in a camera's
flash) to burn carbon from a B&W xerox copy to some sort of film or
mesh. You then use this film to silk screen just like you would a
traditional silk screen. It probably wouldn't work with, say, the
yellow image of yours that I liked since it's basically variations on a
single color...I dunno, maybe if you converted it to greyscale and
bumped up the Contrast/bumped down the Lightness. I think it would
probably work best with things like line drawings or something that's
got large areas of a single color. From the site, I can't really tell
how it handles shades of grey. Probably you'd have to actually see one
of these things in person. You live in Baltimore, right? I'll bet you
could probably hunt down somebody there that knows about the things,
maybe ask around at art galleries or art supply stores.
There's got to be a way to do it, I used to do alot of sewing and nearly
every piece of fabric I've ever purchased had a copyright notice running
along the selvedge of the fabric, so somebody is making money doing it
:-) Painting on silk is pretty easy to do, I did try this several years
ago with a silk scarf kit, it's a little like doing batik or pysanky
(Ukrainian eggs). You might look somewhere like:
http://www.dickblick.com/categories/fabricdecoration
for silk painting supplies, you'd probably just need to buy the resist
and then whatever colors of paint you'll need. I'm flipping through the
print catalog...they make metallic paint too for this.

#10 and #12 are my absolute favorites; really dreamy. #3 is beautiful, I
love the silk background.
I like squares too!

I like your works.
Geometric shapes are facinating, you use color to give each image a
different mood. #eight struck me the most. That image is a wakeup call!
The red just jumps out at you.

Three, Four and Eight...
Three was gorgeous! very tactile and rich. Four was perplexing! I couldn't
put my finger on it, but the "broken" leaf held my attention for some sick
reason for longer that it should have =) very nice. Eight was striking and
very unique. I'm not great at remembering the names of artistic movements
but "cubist" comes to mind (??). I've seen paintings that *feel* similar and
I really like them.
Good stuff, Carol!

Hope you don't mind that I stole that leaf for my collection. : ) It's a
