My husband has told me more than once that “we’re not
models”. Usually this is proffered in response to some disappointment with my
appearance or an ill-fitting outfit. He reminds me that beauty emanates from
the inside: how we think, how we act, what we say. Sure something can be
beautiful on the outside, but lasting beauty is from within.</div>

I was reminded of this when I decided to create “Inner
Glow”. At first I couldn’t explain my fascination with my friend Cathi Bodine’s
photo of a water lily. I have never wanted to make a flower. Even though this
flower is beautiful, flowers just aren’t my thing. But the image was so
compelling! Eventually, I realized it was the glow emanating from the center of
the lily. I really wanted to capture the essence of the flower more than the
structure.</div>

I typically use a single color thread in the bobbin when I
quilt. It’s also not unusual for me to create an envelope binding where the
quilting is not visible from the back. On this quilt I decided to reflect the
front on the back by using the same color thread. I guess it could be
considered a variation of the inner glow, but my true motivation was to swing
for the fences by going beyond my norm.</div>

To create “Inner Glow” I painted a piece of white cotton muslin
with Dr Ph Martin’s india inks. I used a variety of polyester and cotton
threads for the quilting. I got carried away in the process and went beyond challenge
dimensions (divisible by 9). My apologies. The piece measures 41” W by 24 ¼” H.

Confession, Diane, my piece has <i>nothing </i>to do with baseball, beyond the fact that it was something that took place in a field on a sunny day. I did totally embrace the play idea, though, and had a wonderful time with it, and thank you very much for that…….not that it started out that way.<br />
<br />
I had the great good fortune to be invited to accompany Betty on a teaching trip to the Quilt Symposium Manawatu in New Zealand last month. Planning to be away, I thought to bring some things with me to work on the Play Ball Challenge. As it happened, I didn't use any of them, but instead, participated in Lisa Walton's "Permission to Play" class. A real "freeing" class - we painted and dyed and sun printed, and stamped and stenciled, and did various and sundry other things to lots of squares of cotton and bits of velvet. At the end of the second day, there was a stack of a dozen pieces of unrelated fabrics that I had no idea what I might do with.<br />
<br />
Ta-da! I actually used every single piece I made! First, the pieces of fabric were divided by value (the color kind :), then sewed them together in randomly cut strips creating 4 different strip-pieced fabrics to <strike>work</strike> play with. In the interest of trying more new things, I attempted freeform curves. It came out really cool - a kaleidoscopic, colorful world! This was layered it with spatter-painted organza and quilted. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
And, of course, there had to be birds! The birds were from photos taken on the trip to New Zealand. Pukeko is the Maori name for the purple swamphen. Our very patient host in Golden Bay, Liza Eastman, stopped the car here and there (and everywhere) so I might take pictures of them - but they were never very close. Still, their shape and posture was so distinct and the chase was a memorable part of the trip.<br />

The pukeko were made with collaged crumpled tissue paper and matte medium on crinoline. I trimmed them and fused them to the quilted background and then stitched them. It was all great fun, the whole process - - and I know I am better at this than baseball!<br />
<br />
In closing Viewpoints 9's second cycle, I have to say this is the best team I have ever played with! Thanks, everyone, for a winning season! I'm looking forward to the next cycle and the prospect of getting to see each of you in person at some point over the next year!Martha Wolfehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01131812403852060667noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364748767765701718.post-5433996497636457332015-02-27T12:15:00.000-08:002015-03-09T22:30:51.538-07:00Pick-up GameA pick-up game in baseball, and in other sports as well, is an impromptu game of players that are there at the moment of play. There can be some fairly random participants. It is not a serious endeavor, rather, something played and enjoyed at that moment. Really, just play.<br />
<br />
Even though I posed this challenge, I had no idea of how I would approach it. After weeks of mulling, going to my studio and tidying, which is my practice when I'm looking for inspiration. As my husband tells me "Go play in your fabric". It worked!<br />
<br />
It occurred to me that I should approach this as I were to invent a game. Taking <b>only</b> fabric from my scrap bin, I challenged myself to create a playful piece.<br />
<br />
It was great fun. A bit like a archeological dig, truth be told. I uncovered bits large and small that I hardly recognized...old friends. Some of my hand-dyed, some discharged, vintage, African, Australian Aboriginal designs, and Japanese. All right there in the bin. No wonder my granddaughter has such fun playing in it.<br />

It is called Village Green. This has several meanings. The map
represents an English village, set within a variety of green fields. The important one
though is the village green - the rectangular area surrounded by houses on four
sides.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Traditionally, games are played
in the village green. The most common one played I believe is cricket. Baseball
is not played that much in England, but we have a version of it, Rounders,
which is often played by children, sometimes by adults as well. Possibly also
rugby and football (soccer) are played there occasionally.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The village green is also used for fairs and
festivals; it is a community resource which brings people together.</div>

What a nice way to wrap up our <a href="http://viewpoints9-2.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Viewpoints 9</a> cycle. My inspiration for this challenge is the colorful Indian festival of <em>Holi, </em>which is coming up on March 6th.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I have been "working on" a portrait of my Dad for over a decade. I have many times started and stopped and put various sketches on the back burner. My previous attempts at a portrait revolved around this one black and white photo that was used on my Dad's funeral mass book (ask your Catholic friends what that is). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As I considered the Holi festival, I thought about playing, laughing and repairing relationships. So in in that spirit, I decided to "repair the relationship" between my memories of my Dad during his life and the associations I had with this one black and white photo. I lifted the pressure off myself to create a serious portrait and just had fun with it. This one uses every color EXCEPT black and white.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I loved the freedom I felt in creating this piece. Every time I added a new tie dyed piece of fabric to this portrait, the results were surprising and it made me smile. It still does. I look at my dad's face and it makes me happy. And it seems like a truer version of "Joe" as I remember him.</span><br />

Thanks Diane, this has been a fun challenge on which to end this second round. I have been concentrating on printing fabrics with the plants and foliage I find in my local Australian environment so it seemed serendipity that when the challenge was announced, I had this gum and flowering wattle fabric waiting. I have added 9 colourful butterflies as representative of our members.<br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: 標楷體;">Taiwan is located in the subtropical region. We have rare chance of seeing
snow in the winter. Due to extreme climate anomalies in 2014, we got some snow.
I observed how plants overcome the threat of extreme weather. They are adorable;
especially the small daisies that strive to survive. They show us their
surprise move of glorious living. I am sending them my best wishes, and therefore
I sew unique colors on them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: 標楷體;">What touched me is the energy of team work. When I was creating this
piece, we had a mayoral election in Taiwan. The incumbent mayor of Taipei City
is also a surgeon. He changes the city with his mission of life-saving. He said
some nice words, “Ask yourself to do your best at every current situation.
Adjust yourself and be friendly to people, events, substances and environments.
Make all-out effort to the current situation.” This concept shocks me. Over a
long period of time, I have been worked hard, but I didn’t make all-out effort.
It will affect my future value of life and reverse my observation and thinking.
Both the incumbent mayor of Taipei City and small daisies are creating new
value of life with their finite lives. I thank them for giving me the
opportunity to comprehend the truth and improve myself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: 標楷體;">Launching new methods and perspectives, win by a surprise move, swing for
the fences, highlight the value of individual honor and enhance the value of the
group - this is the challenge I give myself in the second cycle of Viewpoints
9. I hope to apply my daily observations to the 9 pieces of work I create. As a
result, "observations" have been accompanying me in the past 18
months and giving me the joy of creating. Coincidentally, the ninth challenge
of cycle 2 from Diane is something about “swing for the fences”. What a perfect
ending!</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"> Thank you, Diane! I
would also like to thank members of Viewpoints 9 for giving me such a substantial
journey.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Holi is celebrated at the approach of vernal equinox, on the full moon. The festival date varies every year, per the Hindu calendar (this year it will be March 6). Holi signifies the victory of good over evil, the arrival of spring, a celebration of color and for many a festive day to meet others, play and laugh, forgive and repair relationships. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
In India during Holi, people of all ages laugh, yell and run around like children at play. It is not unusual for kids to hide around a corner waiting for an unsuspecting stranger to walk by… so they can squirt them with water or throw fistfuls of colored powder on them. </span><br />

I spent many a childhood summer day at the baseball stadium.
My father and brothers were avid fans and they taught me to love it too. I
memorized the starting lineup, learned how to diagram plays and cheered with
the fans whenever our team’s crusty manager would stride out to the field to
argue with the umpire. Such great memories!</div>

Diane’s analogy to baseball is apropos for our group. I love
being part of this team and Martha is a great “manager”. In addition, who could
resist a challenge to swing for the fences and play? </div>

For me, swinging for the fences means trying something that
simultaneously scares and excites me. Pushing my limits in hopes of exceeding
them. The piece I’m creating has been in my mind for some time but I haven’t
felt ready. I absolutely knew I had to make this piece but I wasn’t sure I
could. Right now I’m up at bat and swinging hard!</div>

When I saw Diane’s challenge, I remembered my childhood.<br />
When I was young, I liked to watch a baseball game.<br />
So I often went to the stadium to watch it.<br />
At that time, professional baseball teams were not in Korea,<br />
but,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>high school baseball
tournaments were popular, like pro.<br />
Many people were excited about the high school baseball tournament.<br />
The players were so famous, like movie stars.<br />
They had lots of fans and I was one of the their fans.<br />
When I remember these days, it makes me laugh.<br />
It is a pleasure to remember the days when we were happy<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Not knowing anything about
baseball and its terminology, I looked up the phrase ‘swing to bat’ in the web,
and this is one of the explanations I liked:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

not lucky. They simply <b>make more attempts</b> (in other words, they make
more calls – they swing more bats). <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #0e0e0e; font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I liked the idea.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It makes sense to me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I often tell my quilting students an anecdote from the book “Art and Fear” by David
Bayles and Ted Orland: at the beginning of term, a teacher of ceramics divided
her class into two groups. To the first group, she told to make as many pots as
they could in the time available; and not to worry about quality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To the second group, she asked to produce
just one pot during the whole term, but they had to aim for perfection.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the end of term all the pots were
compared.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And the best ones came from
the first group, and not from the second.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

It's with a sense of achievement that I approach the end of the second round of challenges in Viewpoints 9. Having been given permission to play by Diane, I have been having a nice time, sitting in my air conditioned sewing studio, listening to an audio book and stitching on my quilt. I am well ahead of the deadline as I already had a hand printed fabric that worked well with my chosen idea.<br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: 標楷體;">When I received the challenge about team work, my younger son just joined
the army to fulfill his mandatory military service. He is an honor guard in the
Republic of China Army. The team has to perform rifle exhibition drill at major
celebrations and when foreign dignitaries visit the country. He is very nervous
about his performance because the honor guards require exact discipline and spirit
of team work. He always reminds himself the sense of honor, hoping to become
the elite of the group.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

One of the things I enjoy most about what I do is the freedom to go for broke with every new piece.<br />
Right now, I'm back in fossil mode.<br />
I plan to cover a crackle treated background with ancient extinct animals, done with many different materials and techniques.<br />
I have been thinking about Hsin-Chen's upcoming show, TIQE '15, and the over arching theme of ecology.<br />
What could be more important than learning from the past to prevent us from going the way of the dinosaurs?bbusbyartshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09650263800462528959noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364748767765701718.post-36294423614163679882015-01-03T15:32:00.002-08:002015-01-03T15:32:55.940-08:00daily routine<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I have been working with
cauldrons and skillets as sources of designs for some quilts which I am making
for an exhibition in Autumn 2015 in the UK. The letter Tet has a clear cauldron
shape, so I decided to investigate some further connotations.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">A cauldron is a large metal
cooking pot, also used for boiling, often made of cast iron or copper. They
often have three legs, which allows good air flow; sometimes they have a
hanger. They are not used now in modern society, but it was a main cooking tool
for many centuries, and in a variety of societies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The association with cooking means that the produce of the
cauldron gives sustenance to people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We couldn’t live without food.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Eating allows us to live, and therefore to achieve our potential.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">In Neo-Paganism, cauldrons,
with their three legs, are sometimes meant to represent the Goddess in her
three states: Maiden, Mother and Crone. They are also meant to represent the
three main stages of life:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>birth,
life and death</span><span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">.

Thanks for this challenge, Betty. It had the wheels turning despite all of the hubbub of holidays, which, in retrospect, may be the genesis of some of this. I embraced the phrase "hidden potential" and tried to work with that idea. Suddenly everything I considered had hidden potential. My piles of fabric, the fruit on my trees, my children, an airplane trip… The one thing I kept coming back to was the sunrise on a new day. Everyday is filled with opportunity and promise as the sun rises over the trees (or sand or snow). What can happen in a day? Almost anything. We work to have control over our path in life and yet, it can all change in a matter of moments. It can be fabulous, it can be disaster, and yet every morning I rise and see the sun and I am filled with optimism and hope. For myself, for my family and friends, for the whole world. So much potential.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After Life evolved from the idea of a sunrise, to take on greater personal meaning. I looked through my photos of sunrises, from mountain tops, on beaches, and settled on a photo of the sunrise I took the morning my father had passed away. As I left his side and wandered to the parking lot, the sun was just coming up over the trees. It was Sunday morning. My father was a minister and rose early, often before sun up, on Sundays to prepare for church. How fitting. And what of the hidden potential of an afterlife? What is after life?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After Life is made from hand-painted silk organza. There are 3 layers of pojagi like patchwork, the sunrise, in yellows and oranges, is only on the bottom layer. The tree line is a photo transfer of my image. I was pleased to perfect the tiny French-type seams - something new. The sewing is both machine and handwork.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Backlit (may favorite way to view pojagi), the piece shares another glimpse of hidden potential.</div>

My father was a taciturn statistician. A time and motion expert in the US military. I recall the wonderment in my father's voice when he described his trip upon returning from a secret destination. Somewhere in the US there was a huge cavern under a mountain. We knew that. We didn't know where. He would tell us about huge machines housed there that could figure out everything. He lit our imaginations telling us how wonderful our world would be when we were adults and had kids of our own.<br />
<br />
Now we know a bit more. Not the details. But we do know he was talking about the late 1940's first Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer financed by the US Army. <br />
<br />
We can all relate to how incredible the prospects must have seemed (and still do) at the potential for artificial intelligence. As interesting is the potential in the stories and ideas told to small children by their parents. Those tales generated such curiosity in us, his four children, that each studied mathematics and three went on to life-long careers. Fortunately he lived to know that.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">As for potential: I really do think that words spoken to small children REALLY do make a difference. Yes, actions too. But those stories that are replayed in little people's heads are very powerful.</span><br />

The thought of the same patterns repeating themselves through infinite scale changes is just amazing, in Intercellular I have tried to capture the experience of virtually zooming through layers of design.<br />

The first layer was my favorite, silk painting- I tried to capture tiny dots that would fade in and out of focus.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I quilted it, and painted between the lines with red and orange fabric paint to emphasize the next tier of the design.</div>

What interests me is seeing how my young grandchildren, Ruby, Marli and Araluen approach their drawing activities. I give them the pencils, pens or crayons and don't impose criteria usually. However for this exercise I asked the older two to draw within the assigned space on the white fabric. They also kindly gave me permission to use their work in my work. It is a privilege to watch my grandchildren realise their potential. Will their artistic potential blossom further in the years to come?<br />
