I spent today drilling holes in a new platter. Not only do I have to drill a million holes, but I then have to go over each one with a ball bur to take off the sharp burs because they tear my embroidery thread when I am sewing. Very time consuming...and I am probably doomed to get carpal tunnel any day now.
This one is going to be a wall piece, and its a self portrait.
I am running off to the high country (and cooler weather) to the family cabin this weekend. I should have plenty of time to get all the embroidery done on this piece. Hopefully I will have it to show you on Monday. I will also have lots of pictures from my adventures this weekend...I am going to a really beautiful place. Have a great weekend everybody!
This week I am finishing up my work for the Portrait/Self Portrait show at Shaw Gallery. These brooches will go to the show along with some new work. Here is the postcard, my image made the cover (or at least I think its the cover!)
If you are in or near Northeast Harbor, Maine on July 9th, head on over to the opening reception from 5-7, or be sure to check out the show, it runs until July 22nd.
Just finished this new piece. It hangs on the wall rather than being displayed on a pedestal like the others in this series. I should have finished it days ago, but I don't like it so it took me much longer than it should have. These pictures aren't great but they will do for now. 
"Unsure" (A Self Portrait) 
Here is a view of it on the wall. This is definetly not a likely place for this piece (it really wasn't meant for my living room), but I just wanted to give you an idea as to the perspective.
