After a month of "super busy", I decided to take a break and carve a few pumpkins. I just love how they look when they're lit up at night. I still have 3 to do, but enough sawing into thick rinds, one forgets how hard it is to carve into a pumpkin, especially those warty ones.
If you are not busy for Halloween (in only 4 days), you should consider my "Dark Side" presentation at Green Spring. The time is 1:30 on Halloween day, this Thursday. It's really about gardening, with a wicked twist. You will laugh.
Much of my time lately has been spent preparing for the 2 hour lecture at the Nature Visions Expo. I will teach various methods for transferring your photographs to different surfaces. One special technique is working with a cracked plaster base, the look and feel of each finished piece is really unique. I will also show how to transfer your photographs to wood and lately I have been working with wood shingles.
Since a shingle is made of white cedar, it's not prone to warping. Each shingle also shows the circular motion of its cut, which can really add another element to your art. There will be a few of these for sale at my show in December at the Lorton Workhouse. Save December 14th as the date for the reception, it will be the second Saturday of December and the place will be hopping!
