First, a thread rendering of Bob Hewitt with a quote from paper (and one artistic modification). I have ranted about him before. This’d make a great “Oh Really?!!” segment on SNL. I can just hear Seth Meyers’ voice: “Oh Really, Bob, YOU want to forget the whole thing?!!! You screw underage girls, scarring them for life, and YOU want to forget about it?!! Really?!!!” (The Boston Globe, May 21, 2012).
Second, some shots from Newton Open Studios. One of the positive aspects of doing a show that isn’t hugely busy (and this was far from hugely busy) is that I can sew… for hours. And, I did.
Lastly, two self-portraits. This one, taken moments ago, makes me wonder, “When did I turn into my mother?!!”
And this one, taken accidentally, in some ways is a better portrait (surprise, surprise).
I just love the little house set back in the orange forest! Does it have a title?
Oops, I took the picture out, and now I’ll have to reinsert!! It’s called “Waiting for Jessie”… I made a quilt for a friend’s 50th about 5 years ago, and her daughter at that time was out and about quite a bit, and it seemed like every time I asked my friend what she had been up to, I’d hear that she’d been up “waiting for Jessie”. Anyway, the quilt fell victim to my scissors… I just couldn’t get it to where I liked it, but this fragment surfaced recently and with a little more hand embroidery, I think it will be gift worthy.
I like it even more knowing the backstory. Thank!
no problem….
fantastic B. H. rendering–brilliant!
thanks, ali… safe travels to you!
