Piano sewing progress

Piano

I printed the keys for fabric pianos today to be sewn and stuffed. This is Frank's piano, which he used to have lessons on when he was a child. His father was a duop singer for a band called the Vespars and encouraged Frank's musical pursuits.

Solstice Card

Finished printing an edition of these cards for the upcoming Solstice.

Layer One

Split fountain first layer for my 2011 Solstice card.

Sewing Shin Dig

I had some great ladies helping me trapunto new furniture pieces last night at my studio. More Sewing Parties will follow.

Sewing

I've been sewing all of the pieces for the airport exhibition in preparation for a trapunto get-together on Thursday evening at my studio.

Print Center Talk and Demo

This photo is from my Print Center Store talk and Trapunto demonstration on November 12. Everyone left with their own stuffed outlet or light switch and learned about my many projects about displacement and home.

Print Center Talk and demo

Just a reminder to come to my talk at the Print Center tomorrow, Saturday November 12 at 2:00 PM. First twenty people to arrive get a take-away trapunto demonstration piece.

Printed Repeat Pattern

Finished printing a custom drawn repeat image for curtains. The print is of 13 different countries and the pattern is related to the population of each country (1 line = 100,000 people).

Outlets and Light Switches

Just printed a new set of outlets and light switches. I will sew the fabric pieces for a trapunto stuffing demo during my talk at The Print Center on November 12 at 2:00 PM.

The Doors

Life-sized doors printed on blue, brown, cream and pink paper and beige fabric.

Custom Curtains

I am screen printing these custom curtains for my brother's birthday present. He wanted depictions of countries with interesting shapes and I added the texture based on the population.

One line = 100,000 people, so note the three lines for Iceland, and the thick patterns of India and China, which need 11,000 - 13,000 lines each. I still have another 5,000 lines for India and another 8,200 for China...

Graffiti

A collaborator.

Hallway Installation

I installed this chair last week in Hedi Kyle's home (that's right, the creator of the flag book).

Hawthorne Hall install

I pasted 36 prints onto Hawthorne Hall at 3849 Lancaster Avenue, and there is still room for more! I'm hoping to get permission to continue adding pieces as I print them. The opening is tonight across the street from 3849 at 6:00 PM.

Hawthorne Hall

Yesterday Greg helped me paste a series of pieces onto boards and glass in Hawthorne Hall on 3849 Lancaster Avenue. So far I've pasted 36 pieces, and I'm hoping to do a few more before the opening on September 30.
