NAEA Convention Artwork: Boston 2019

These are all things I did in Boston last week: so many ideas!

Paper burlap (from Roylco) with acrylic paint and stitching

Soft sculpture made of canvas (print of Customs tower--Boston) (Blick lesson plan)

Symbolic Self-Portrait

Silhouette portrait of Toni Morrison by Robert McCurdy

This portrait was drawn with triangles 

Found descriptions on a book page

Embroidery for Fahrenheit 451

Basket Weaving: Upcycle Saucer Basket

This is the first time I have ever made a basket. I taught myself from Blick's lesson plan and the related video.

 It was such a therapeutic process. Over, under, over under, over, under, over, under...If you are stressed I highly suggest doing a bit of weaving.

I couldn't figure out how to sew the lip of the basket, so I put the waxed thread around it and put wood glue all around the top. That baby is not coming apart.
