Parts making whole

These are old earring material trials that 

were not used, or extras.

New materials for something else!

Whole piece and cutout parts

   

This is the first week I'm recycling old

drawings and I really like it!  The parts

take on their own flavor.

Whole & Parts =

I couldn't keep away!

Whole and parts/ rearanged

This is an old drawing, and I re-

arranged the parts, which

cooperated in becoming

this satisfyingly odd 

figure.

Textures I noticed this morning.

Textures from the trash

Different textures

Textures

drawn and observed.

Mixing up a texture

                                                                 

Starting out with arranging, which I really enjoy.

What to do with the arrangement?  Does it create 

a texture?  Or not?  Should I have just  done this-

????????????????????????????????????????????

There's a texture.

Instead, I twirled it.

Recyled lines

This tugboat liner type shape appeared when I 

taped together some of the cuts I had made 

in yesterdays line drawing.

Surprised and delighted me! 

Drawn line/Cut line/Inverse

Organic lines

Finding lines outdoors.

Lines/Playing with materials

Here's the recipe: 12 mini colored pencils

           4 twisty ties

               5 tinfoil spears

                            8 post-it notes, cut thin

                    3 color aid stripes

   Mess around with placement of ingredients, 

         finding the magic moment when the assemblage

       wants you to stop. Notice that this comes after 

        20 minutes of adding unnecessary ingredients. 

  

Remove these, photograph, post.  Voila! 

              

Lines

Yesterday I was riding around noticing lines, and

I thought about how a line becomes a shape when 

it connects.

And how the enormous dictionary I have has about

a page of definitions of the word line.  And how 

many fantastically varied ways we can 

choose to make them. 

Large pair, small eggs.

A couple of bigger toads above, ribbons of very 

small eggs below, and a HUGE racket 

around the pond.

Large object/small additions

Another.

Old images and 3d parts of other artwork

piled on a

camera book stand, then slightly altered.

I seem to have a penchant for

making faces!

Big and little

I always find it amazing and interesting how a 

single small detail can change the interpretation

of an image.

What a difference a shape makes....
