this week...

Right now I've got one piece that I feel could be close to being finished (on screen). I'm liking how it's looking but I can't figure out what else it needs. I've also started working on another piece but I keep changing it a lot. I'm not exactly sure where I want to go with it yet! I was thinking about using some text, and possibly some other media in addition to the thread. Here is the first one (I'm feeling like it's looking really flat, any suggestions?)

stuck

I've been trying to work with some pictures I took over winter break, but I'm having trouble because there's a lot less color in them to begin with. I've been looking up artists to gain inspiration from. I've also been scanning in some things like croutons (weird) to come up with some different textures and backgrounds to use for my pieces. I'm liking how it looks! I just keep getting stuck on where to go with them. I start something and then can't figure out where to go so I just start another. I need to get this figured out!

New semester

This semester I will be trying to work more on figuring out the meaning behind my artwork, and why I do what I do. I will still be using photographs that I've taken, manipulating them on photoshop, and then printing them onto canvas paper and sewing. This semester I want my pieces to flow a little better together, and I really just want to be able to express the meaning of my work, and give people a better understanding of it.
