Production continues as I put my work out there. Being a full-time artist is wonderful in terms of job satisfaction; now all I need is for my sales to grow.
The child in this fabric collage tugs at my heartstrings. She is from a group of barefoot children who lived in poverty a century ago.
[edit: Catherine asked if this piece is mounted on watercolor paper, and the answer is yes. I stitched the whole thing on 140-lb watercolor paper. Catherine knows her stuff; she's published a book on stitching on paper!]
Because I'm now working at home, it's important for me to get out regularly. Yesterday I joined my former colleagues, including one who was visiting from Nova Scotia for March break, for a get-together. It was good fun, and I hope we do it again. This evening I will be at the Hive for the ATC trading meeting.
Colette, your work is so moving. I truly love it.
ReplyDeleteI love to make ATC's. I have been getting out more this week than I have in the previous weeks.
I am praying you sell more and more of your wonderful creations.

Hello Colette. Oh yes, I agree on all your points about being a full time artist. That child tugs at my hearts strings too!!! And, yes, I find it crucial for me to get out every once in a while too. So, we are very similar ;) xo
