Tomorrow I hope to mail off to the Surrey Art Gallery a proposal for a show with my Project called Oh, Solo, Double Trio: Numbers in my Life.
The next day I'll prep the similar proposal for the Richmond Gallery which is due in April. I dasn't mail it in too early. Things can get put in drawers & forgotten if timing isn't right. That happened to me once being too eager.
This proposal has been on my To Do list for quite a while.
I still have 3 quilts to finish, but that's ok. Even with a go-ahead, I'd be given a date a bit off from acceptance time.
And I'll have some time to develop the peripherals to the show that I'd like to do.
I have quite a few number artifacts... that would be fun to have there.
So here's Fingers & Toes, the quilt about the number 10. I made the stampers for this, from my own hands & feet. I even used the off-cut from the first hand stamp to make the negative image for the other hand. Similarly for the feet.
This one is for the number 5. Well, it's actually getting too complicated.... but by a few more steps you can construct the famous golden rectangle, and build several more on top of that. And if you turn this quilt over I stitched a logarithmic spiral into the back that goes with the quilting on the front, but I have to make it darker, it doesn't show up enough yet. Maybe you can see a faint spiral arc above my head.
# 7 below. This one is about all my 07/07 birthdays that I can remember, with various xeroxed photos stitched on to the quilt-top.
For 12 I decided to do a clock face. One of my favorite features of the graphics for the quilt is how clearly 1/2, 1/4, & 3/4 of an hour gets shown. So innocently.
That's it for now.
