Notice that the front pattern is very different than the back! The shirt is turned inside out, with one sleeve inside the other, then it is tightly rolled from side to side. I use sinew to tightly tie the rows, letting the shirt roll back over itself, and I continue tying to create some of the patterns. The front reflects the sinew rows, but the back is a much looser pattern. I didn't notice until I took the photos that there is an "alien" on the back near the neckline, ooh! For sure, I'm going to be working hard to get better at this pattern, it's the first time in a long time I wanted to learn something as ornate as this.

It's been 2 years since I stopped going to the gym for an exercise class, twice a week. I just got tired of having to drive to town, and I already go to town at least 3 days a week on a regular basis. Well, in December I fell and hurt my back, so for 3 weeks I pretty much nursed my back. Then I thought: if I exercise, I'll strengthen my muscles, and almost simultaneously, I found yes2next, which is a gal and her mom who have made a bunch of exercise videos and uploaded to youtube! I also joined their group on Facebook for support - the exercises are designed for beginners and seniors, but can be modified to do more or less. I started January 13, and have exercised almost daily (except on days when I had to shovel snow), and my back is healed! I may be old, but I'm stubborn! I did a 50 minute workout this morning, and it was wonderful! Not bad for an old fart, lol!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Okay that's it for now - looking forward to Spring and longer days, so I can dye and make bowls and who knows what else?

If you're wondering what I've been up to this past month, here's my story!</p><p>First off, most years I wind down the end of the year through the beginning of the next with a creative respite - my creativity takes a hiatus, and I'm left with no energy or inspiration for awhile! It's kind of like hibernating... the holiday rush is over, and January and February are typically slow season at the gallery. So I give myself permission to rest and at some point I start to "dither and putter" around the studio.</p><p>Well, this year, I had another little thing to deal with - I fell the day after Christmas and hurt my back! I won't go into the details - suffice it to say, I have been kind of in "healing" mode for the past few weeks... some days I don't feel like doing anything, others I venture into the studio and putter some. </p><p>This year, I decided to play around a little with water colors, and started following some artists on various social media platforms. Here's an exercise I did one day following some videos by bb henry art:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxZg8ERULmatPNcO39XZaKEN4tUTk8RjlPpyXKdcHibg2lrQMez3H2gT2RNxTrhJyTdM0_ZgwMON7czk1QH_qEZzcu9vKK6GDyWcpbpF8heVVLi2XH0LLtcUgyrMqRv2BVp2TjmwedHcx7DDe04L_vCSpRIjiZAX6ONXH6ts-PHWgyYBAKfmYDZe1hS9U/s2970/Thumbnail%20mark%20making%20Dec%2017%202023.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2660" data-original-width="2970" height="574" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxZg8ERULmatPNcO39XZaKEN4tUTk8RjlPpyXKdcHibg2lrQMez3H2gT2RNxTrhJyTdM0_ZgwMON7czk1QH_qEZzcu9vKK6GDyWcpbpF8heVVLi2XH0LLtcUgyrMqRv2BVp2TjmwedHcx7DDe04L_vCSpRIjiZAX6ONXH6ts-PHWgyYBAKfmYDZe1hS9U/w640-h574/Thumbnail%20mark%20making%20Dec%2017%202023.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This was fun - I used some paints, torn paper, pencil and marking pens with no end purpose other than to relax and enjoy the process.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Then I did another little project using scraps of things to create a collage:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDChJmUTzNcqr4p0xOoVTfl2f3M5VvEcoybO6KGIiQPdaSskzLFzmoIcz715zL3WZN9INjB3OQuJTvJypJVVaIKv0Od6458-h8yWhKrutYDzycahCgBO08YANswMBm7UaTAgN_vj-tzkb69qymHrc8jsOfCygsqlpBCfeO5WksVmJwjwFH_DEDmSllEq4/s3486/Dec%2021%202023b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1995" data-original-width="3486" height="366" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDChJmUTzNcqr4p0xOoVTfl2f3M5VvEcoybO6KGIiQPdaSskzLFzmoIcz715zL3WZN9INjB3OQuJTvJypJVVaIKv0Od6458-h8yWhKrutYDzycahCgBO08YANswMBm7UaTAgN_vj-tzkb69qymHrc8jsOfCygsqlpBCfeO5WksVmJwjwFH_DEDmSllEq4/w640-h366/Dec%2021%202023b.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I have amassed a large amount of paper and fiber scraps over the years, and the drawer where I keep them is overflowing!

This year has just flown by for me... so many projects, cranking out the dyes and bowls, selling my socks off! And we still have a few weeks left of 2023... looking forward to maybe having a little "down time" to rest and recouperate!</p><p>Two things of note: After almost 3 years, my friend Cinde and I have decided to pull out of Sedona Artist Market. Cinde has done very well there this past year, me not so much. But having to schedule one day each month to head down, restock and tidy our booths, has become a little more than we want to commit to. We are leaving on good terms, and may at some time decide to return, but for now, it's a relief to know we don't have to make the trip down unless it's for a hike on our favorite trail, or because we just feel like it!</p><p>The other thing that has happened this year is that I've added a few new items to my inventory! Late last year I started offering zip up hoodies, but didn't really know the best way to dye them, but this year I've become a little more adept at tying the "Geode" pattern, which for me is a diagonal stripe rather than the more irregular circular version many dyers create. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPcnhW9ObDYbXWknK_arEDgR2J8r4ZI6lWkr6iwr2r_AeIDpJ3eE_5lJkZ6tWB9dxVHWSV0u276pM-ehgJ8aUfxRjOluabYHaQGYDJq_5LOTMt6SO38t_CE37sh0zRGa30nH4vTsqswsEEunQzkk73B9i07a3pNV675-NsWzW5lizY68gqstN3HdvcqZg/s3345/sku3439a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3345" data-original-width="2509" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPcnhW9ObDYbXWknK_arEDgR2J8r4ZI6lWkr6iwr2r_AeIDpJ3eE_5lJkZ6tWB9dxVHWSV0u276pM-ehgJ8aUfxRjOluabYHaQGYDJq_5LOTMt6SO38t_CE37sh0zRGa30nH4vTsqswsEEunQzkk73B9i07a3pNV675-NsWzW5lizY68gqstN3HdvcqZg/w480-h640/sku3439a.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>And I just added Rayon/spandex open front cardigans to my inventory, as shown in the above photo on the right.

I totally missed posting in October, mainly 'cause I was busy beefing up my inventory for the two galleries! I've had fabulous sales the past 5 months, and we're heading into Holiday shopping season already! And just in time, I'm working on a couple of new items - here's a rope Christmas tree I just finished:</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_rMnJNJ_FqvfBB7FqSOfKC-TUxcHSx2e9SgGGzFxV6qv-IHZvXKruSsr1jYIuQqXDaEsyAQaRZGGYPf25n7IEP7_6abMYASAIqUwpp6aB-_xatCfkfA18DrtbKTj1dNMosmAAAqV69q8bcBmv4hH7ep33LNGWI6meAA_UTvGAyJLpwv-KWI5Eb8Mqh1c/s1475/Rope%20tree1b.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1475" data-original-width="790" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_rMnJNJ_FqvfBB7FqSOfKC-TUxcHSx2e9SgGGzFxV6qv-IHZvXKruSsr1jYIuQqXDaEsyAQaRZGGYPf25n7IEP7_6abMYASAIqUwpp6aB-_xatCfkfA18DrtbKTj1dNMosmAAAqV69q8bcBmv4hH7ep33LNGWI6meAA_UTvGAyJLpwv-KWI5Eb8Mqh1c/w342-h640/Rope%20tree1b.jpg" width="342" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>This started out with a styrofoam tree form. I wrapped strips of Christmas fabric around rope, like I do for my rope bowls, then glued it to the form. Once the glue dried, I wrapped the string of red beads around in the "ditch" between rows of rope. The base of the tree is a large cork I glued to the bottom, and for the top, I glued a length of bamboo skewer to the wood snowflake, and inserted the point of the skewer into a hole I produced beforehand. The other project is using a similar method to create a "candle" by gluing the wrapped rope around a foam cylinder, gluing to a base, and leaving a spot on top where I insert a battery operated tea light.

I never did post photos from the mess, but after a year, the County Flood Control district has done a great job enhancing the flood mitigation efforts - we've had some heavy downpours the last couple of weeks, and our river did come back for a short visit on the southeast corner of the property, but no bad floods across the front - just lots of large puddles and a lot of Thunder/lightning. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Oh, one more thing I've been doing this month, especially when I'm working a shift at Arts Connection:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdhn8yUyrXFF7V3BrscamwfFdK_wqwZfTcHFaitoN-sDVFnxdJ7sz09SNwlUZdEz_vAMoeXE10qhaZEto4bex-iRB3T94C2jBljrQqin3h8_ViYs9tkGwNgurwXxCbdRc1I-0MwV432hp1GjFnD-nzKQFVg9EHg0Rm3avRPKbbPJOqnu4jq2FS2vYac5s/s3687/sku3360c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3687" data-original-width="2765" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdhn8yUyrXFF7V3BrscamwfFdK_wqwZfTcHFaitoN-sDVFnxdJ7sz09SNwlUZdEz_vAMoeXE10qhaZEto4bex-iRB3T94C2jBljrQqin3h8_ViYs9tkGwNgurwXxCbdRc1I-0MwV432hp1GjFnD-nzKQFVg9EHg0Rm3avRPKbbPJOqnu4jq2FS2vYac5s/w480-h640/sku3360c.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I created a long continuous strand of "fabric twine", where I take strips of fabric, twist them together, then when I get a pretty good length, I created a cover for a glass vessel.

She takes lots of pix and once she's back in the Oro Valley, she will be posting about our visit, so be sure to check it out next week. We played in my studio for awhile, chatted for awhile longer, gorged on yummy Mexican food at Salsa Brava, then she headed to her hotel. Sherrie wrote the tutorial that got me started years ago on making my fabric wrapped coiled bowls! And the last time she came up, I taught her how to make Spirit Dolls, which she has shared about in her blog, so do take a minute and browse all her wonderful posts!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Okay, big plug - if you're in the Flagstaff Area Aug 26/27, I do hope you'll find time to drop by Studio #14 and say hi, and see some of the beautiful creations by the 5 artists who will be there! If you visit <a href="flagstaff-arts.org," target="_blank">flagstaff-arts.org,</a> you will find a downloadable brochure with locations and see which artists are participating at each location. Hope to see you there!

Been busy dyeing and doing other fiber related projects, and it paid off - had great sales at Arts Connection and good ones at Sedona Artist Market too. Now I'm trying to build up my stock for the 25Th Annual Flagstaff Open Studios Tour which will be held August 26 - 27 this year! I will be at my friend Cinde's house again along with Cinde and 3 fellow artists, so that should be a nice draw for folks to come by. I'm finishing up an ad that we will be posting to the Brochure for the tour, so that will let everyone know who will be there and what medium(s) they will be offering. So if any of you will be in the Flagstaff area the last weekend in August, be sure to save the dates and stop by to see us!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Here are a few of the items I've been working on since my last post:</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Today's weather: wind, rain due to turn to snow. But we've had a few lovely days with blue skies and warmer temps, so almost all of our snow has melted and the mud had dried up... will have to see how things look after this storm passes, but my Daffodils and Tulips are poking through so Spring is definitely coming, yaay!</p><p>So here's what I've been working on in the past few days:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTB3e3ApQ9j8xy15JxjJj4Rh_GcukARC0wP-LzAPiwDvp7l3SvtlF9l9siLqQXFtpjR0UIcNgabq4SakkhHD2F0cDHuBargQOP7_4DrqOH7J9A82T0loeJvqvgpu9OCR8RTDvMpQvWGrwKKq0EV6aLXrsYK8NjD-odyz_dNahwAgDXPUtrpv6zaVSr/s2803/sku3275a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2803" data-original-width="2133" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTB3e3ApQ9j8xy15JxjJj4Rh_GcukARC0wP-LzAPiwDvp7l3SvtlF9l9siLqQXFtpjR0UIcNgabq4SakkhHD2F0cDHuBargQOP7_4DrqOH7J9A82T0loeJvqvgpu9OCR8RTDvMpQvWGrwKKq0EV6aLXrsYK8NjD-odyz_dNahwAgDXPUtrpv6zaVSr/w488-h640/sku3275a.jpg" width="488" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I used a glass vase as my form - wrapped with plastic wrap, then glued 3 layers of fabric scraps over it. I let it sit overnight, then tried to remove the vase - easier said than done on this one! It's 7 1/2" high and about 3 1/2" wide. With other forms, I've been able to wiggle them around a bit to loosen the plastic wrap then remove the outside, but with this... hard to grip glass, and as tall as it is, I had to finally resort to slipping a letter opener between the glass and the plastic all around, a few times before I was finally able to gradually remove the vase. Lessons learned, lol!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Then I bought some more glass from our local thrift store, and decided this one was perfect for creating a small bud vase:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaB3xfqfg0-zsZIzDKW28IvRYa-a0RpvfNTUMUEC5Nu1AthUcIjtZd1B7Dg6MYtvIp1SaO2Uajb6-Zp7UWcTv34c29W3zLZ-tf1uAQArY0YoxIJ3a_jrASpR49Emwehx2dAkJJYYE1Sct6fkREsVNXUHa_iO8sHAZUOhMyxkzg_Oo-bDeKotL1xkMu/s3542/sku3274a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3542" data-original-width="2426" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaB3xfqfg0-zsZIzDKW28IvRYa-a0RpvfNTUMUEC5Nu1AthUcIjtZd1B7Dg6MYtvIp1SaO2Uajb6-Zp7UWcTv34c29W3zLZ-tf1uAQArY0YoxIJ3a_jrASpR49Emwehx2dAkJJYYE1Sct6fkREsVNXUHa_iO8sHAZUOhMyxkzg_Oo-bDeKotL1xkMu/w438-h640/sku3274a.jpg" width="438" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This one was really a fun one to make! I had a length of stitched fabric strips where I zigzagged funky yarn over the top, and the fabrics were in my fave - rainbow colors. I first wrapped and stitched on a piece of cotton batting, then I began wrapping the stitched cording around the base. When I got about a third of the way to the top, I stopped and pinned the cord to the batting. Then I brushed on some Fabric Stiffy to glue it all together. I let it sit and dry, then I finished wrapping and gluing the rest. The top rows were a little challenging since the bottle narrowed to the neck. So I pulled out my hot glue gun and that did the trick. I left it to completely dry overnight. Then I started playing with ideas for making funky colorful flowers, but wasn't able to achieve what I had in mind. My next thought was to use the tree twigs I had wrapped with yarn awhile back, just to see how it would look. I decided that was just the trick, so I'm probably going to add this to my booth at Arts Connection next week. Meanwhile, I'm busy making more of the fabric/yarn strips - I really love how they look, so they'll no doubt grace some more of my vessels soon!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Now what? Well, our weather is supposed to improve very soon, and I'm looking forward to doing some dyeing soon - got a huge order from my supplier, so time to get busy!

The last photo shows my latest addition: a swirl, which is one of my longtime favorite symbols. There is still some of the lower areas that could be enhanced, but I don't want it to look too overdone, so I think I will study it as it is for awhile, then decide. One last thing I will need to do is attach the base which is a few coils of fabric wrapped cord that I stitched together, leaving the center open. It's been great for adjusting the position of the vessel while I worked on one thing or another, and I'm tempted to leave it unattached, but that's a decision I will make soon. This has been a really fun project because I didn't have any preconceived ideas other than to try the process, and I let my imagination play with "what if" thoughts, and just went with whatever came to mind. I think this is just the first of these I hope to do going forward, just for the fun of it! If you're intrigued or interested in trying one of these, you can see the tutorial I used as a guide here:</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.alteredstatesstudio.com/blog/2022/11/25/fabric-bowls">https://www.alteredstatesstudio.com/blog/2022/11/25/fabric-bowls</a></span></span></div><br /><p></p>Judy Sall Fiber Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05172226619205640720noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2433004430771428467.post-70305698955231365722022-12-08T11:11:00.005-08:002022-12-08T11:11:51.412-08:00Fun new project!<p> I've been busy doing a number of things since my last post, but I'm having so much fun on my current project that I couldn't wait to start showing you what I'm doing!</p><p>I was browsing Instagram the other day and came across a post by Kristin Peterson of alteredstatestudio - it was about a fabric vessel she created with part of a plastic milk carton, fabric scraps and loads of craft glue. I visited her blog at https://www.alteredstatesstudio.com/ and saw 2 variations - the one with a milk carton, the other using a balloon. Well, I didn't have the milk carton (do now, just have to drink up the milk!) but I did have balloons and heaven knows I have a ton of fabric scraps, so off I went! I didn't have a lot of elmer's school glue but did have a bottle of Mod Podge Stiffy - which is pretty much the same thing. I culled through some fabric scraps, pulled a bunch out and grabbed a container to pour the stiffy in and a cheap brush.

This year we had a total of 5, and while traffic still wasn't up as high as we have had in past years, we still had good sales and a fun weekend!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE1dfaCassULi9EJdqh0cnrZO-rDle2WDhY-aKh-uLdcAExTR_LNDLhEqiUE1lqNAn4GpjrLqnyH2p6cI23enbswbtXiO6DPjdtA4EzN--it-x7sfHSlTu9r_0h2GWPQb80M2vw_Nxyj_ckqaH4PVC6j8AxeWYnDISXRjCZCE--TGUPfP7QsyRVw44/s2364/Amy2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1773" data-original-width="2364" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE1dfaCassULi9EJdqh0cnrZO-rDle2WDhY-aKh-uLdcAExTR_LNDLhEqiUE1lqNAn4GpjrLqnyH2p6cI23enbswbtXiO6DPjdtA4EzN--it-x7sfHSlTu9r_0h2GWPQb80M2vw_Nxyj_ckqaH4PVC6j8AxeWYnDISXRjCZCE--TGUPfP7QsyRVw44/w640-h480/Amy2.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This was my friend Amy's first Open Studios Tour - actually, the first art event outside Arts Connection Gallery for her, and she did great!

Well, our annual Flagstaff Open Studios tour will be the last weekend in August, and I will be joining my friend Cinde and 3 other artists at Cinde's home for the event! And we are bringing back the Prelude Exhibit at Arts Connection - each artist who is participating in Open Studios will have space to show 2 or 3 of their creations so that people can visit the exhibit to see which of the locations they want to visit during the event. Prior to Covid19, our opening was always well attended, and Cinde's location has had around 100 visitors during the weekend of Open Studios! We are looking forward to another successful weekend August 27-28, so if you're in the Flagstaff Area, be sure to stop by Arts Connection for more information about the event! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Meanwhile, back to the dye works I go...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxaZzIpti_RTdSq9n6EoeVM-LaAt7DMm4t3isrAnBuYEGSmXzac48qmRHsZYyXilcLJ1PeVgg0VBzjJJgo2bs2GsilObx3OQAldtcdCWg53nlDn9vv_O2J-QmKwDEf7EksgA7mVAI-WIYHtbYBfN-S6UupBy6OBMy1NGel3UdP7CeULipVgio141KG/s2364/June%2027a%20Rayon%20dress.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2364" data-original-width="1773" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxaZzIpti_RTdSq9n6EoeVM-LaAt7DMm4t3isrAnBuYEGSmXzac48qmRHsZYyXilcLJ1PeVgg0VBzjJJgo2bs2GsilObx3OQAldtcdCWg53nlDn9vv_O2J-QmKwDEf7EksgA7mVAI-WIYHtbYBfN-S6UupBy6OBMy1NGel3UdP7CeULipVgio141KG/w480-h640/June%2027a%20Rayon%20dress.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><br /><p><br /></p>Judy Sall Fiber Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05172226619205640720noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2433004430771428467.post-53518117704698062252022-06-09T07:05:00.007-07:002022-06-09T07:05:30.477-07:00Fun new projects!<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I've had several projects I wanted to try and recently decided to dive into my creative "bucket list" and see what I could come up with!

A small brush fire turned into a huge one, very quickly, and we were forced to evacuate on short notice April 14! No pictures... we were busy trying to gather things we would need and get on down the road while firefighters were coming in to try and keep our neighborhood safe. Many neighbors have livestock, and it was very tense for all of us, trying to make our way out onto the highway and away from the fire. In all, it has burned over 19k acres, at least 130 homes were destroyed, but thankfully, no deaths were reported. My friend Cinde invited us to stay in her guest room, which was so much nicer than having to be in a motel.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1aNq4pHuQGyiKRQ3zik73S1K3RfrgVNPwj9mzZX4xLFUxlG5NC_emJ24gIWJnx5Zq8jV3wGH0tyEU1U2q0QRp59TuE8y3_PCzRwVpbphtWqW0Vz32jqylNBy-TtvjbQNrogjn0J8lg9BPr66iIbmj8upMEpW6LJ9yE6d1hn5mK1tk_iCd2vdKUFcM/s1280/home%20destroyed%20by%20tunnel%20fire.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="814" data-original-width="1280" height="408" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1aNq4pHuQGyiKRQ3zik73S1K3RfrgVNPwj9mzZX4xLFUxlG5NC_emJ24gIWJnx5Zq8jV3wGH0tyEU1U2q0QRp59TuE8y3_PCzRwVpbphtWqW0Vz32jqylNBy-TtvjbQNrogjn0J8lg9BPr66iIbmj8upMEpW6LJ9yE6d1hn5mK1tk_iCd2vdKUFcM/w640-h408/home%20destroyed%20by%20tunnel%20fire.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>This is a photo I took from the internet - looks very much like the remains of a neighbor's home just 2 blocks from us. Fortunately, his was the only home in our immediate area that was lost, but there were several others up the main road further west that were lost.</p><p>Our winds have been fierce, and that was what really caused this fire to grow so quickly. And they are still blowing 25-35 miles per hour, with gusts up to 50-65 miles per hour, for days now! Hopefully, they will die down later this week,</p><p>Fortunately, we were able to return home the last Sunday in April - electricity had been restored, and our gas was restored that afternoon. Food had to be tossed and replaced, but that was the worst that we had to deal with, so we were blessed.</p><p>Once we got settled back in, I got back in the studio, and was working on a project that required some of my yarns. I pulled down a bin, opened it up, pulled out a skein and uncovered a mama mouse and her babies - oh, joy! Snatched some bags up and started pulling them out, then promptly put down mouse traps in the studio... one of the things Shrekkie used to take care of, but now it's on me! I've since found another one, and realized I need to do a better job of storing yarns and fabric scraps in tightly lidded containers, so I'm working on that now. I also ordered some sonic mouse repellants that plug in, so I'll give those a try along with the traps. </p><p>On a high note, Cinde and I attended this month's First Friday event at Sedona Artist Market, and spent a couple of hours demonstrating some projects, visiting with shoppers and meeting some of our fellow artists. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtV1AdGNwUnwm-cYNDf4ZIFCeTuVcgSbtHiwhvkDvig3ojUNalU4e8U6w7Pj8DHlnwbCLmxyQ-XoIgn7Su_3aTwMnv9M7GmA6droRnVieTjzgykcBxl8ZJkA90kad14RJo9TNeDYGtqFEHrPLaODfgh9E0nJ2S5qhFm0kk0rVbxJPkYn-tFuMWsWSP/s640/Cinde%20and%20I%20at%20May%20first%20Friday%202022.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtV1AdGNwUnwm-cYNDf4ZIFCeTuVcgSbtHiwhvkDvig3ojUNalU4e8U6w7Pj8DHlnwbCLmxyQ-XoIgn7Su_3aTwMnv9M7GmA6droRnVieTjzgykcBxl8ZJkA90kad14RJo9TNeDYGtqFEHrPLaODfgh9E0nJ2S5qhFm0kk0rVbxJPkYn-tFuMWsWSP/w640-h480/Cinde%20and%20I%20at%20May%20first%20Friday%202022.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>We have both had good sales there, and enjoy our monthly visits to refresh our inventory and browse the lovely artwork there.</p><p>Oh, and two items of interest - I have a Pinterest account, and often post my work there as well as browse for inspiration and ideas.

This method is called incline ice dye, where I actually place the dyed shirt on an angle to batch, and it lets the dye slowly migrate out as the ice melts.

They discovered he has afib, so changed his blood thinners to handle that. But all the doctor visits, etc., took us away from our regular visits to the gym to exercise. After 2 months of inactivity, I started getting on the treadmill at home to try and get back into a routine. Last week, I was working to increase my speed, and also wanted to give my arms a workout so I was pumping on the "walking stick" feature... that night, I laid on the floor to watch TV and got a super strong, sharp pain in my right shoulder! I should mention that my right shoulder has given me problems in the past, but it had been feeling just fine for quite awhile, so I must have forgotten to be careful. At any rate, I got xrays done Tuesday, and I start physical therapy today to see what can be done to get me back to "normal"!

They finally determined he has atrial fibrillation, and have modified some medications to fight blood clots. And he has lost about 20 pounds, which is all good. He also had to have emergency hernia surgery a few weeks back, but has healed nicely from that. He just celebrated his 79th birthday, and we're hoping the coming year will find him in better health!<div><br /></div><div>One bit of very good news - our Son Joe returned stateside after a year long deployment in Kuwait, and he and his wife Dawn will be moving from PA to TX soon, and will be coming for a visit after the first of the year. It will be awesome to see them, and good to know they are located closer to us so maybe we can see them more often!</div><div><br /></div><div>So as the year comes to a close, my thoughts are focused on what I want to do in 2022... right now, my creative juices are low, and I'm taking it easy, just concentrating on what I need to do, but also giving thought to what new directions I want to take creatively.
