I spent two weeks in March at an intensive composition workshop with Nancy Crow. I love these workshops.... the days are long, I usually started at 7:30 am and worked until 10:30 pm when I'd start to make bad decisions or no decisions.
We spent two days making tiny compositions, mine turned out to be 15" x 15", and they were larger than many from other students.

Unruly Umbrellas. 15" x 15"

Then I spent 5 days on this...
 |
| 10% to 90% 60" x 72" |
Nancy said I should keep making quilts because I am tall!
Then I spent two days making this:
 |
| The Joke's On You 40" x 36" |
It was one of my favourites. The next project took me the rest of the second week, two and a half days, and I didn't get it finished which is just as well because it went in a direction I didn't like. I won't be finishing it, but I will save some elements from it and move on.

| Harlequin. Unfinished |
Two weeks of intense patch-working, creating and learning with 22 serious artistic people (who are a lot of fun) is my idea of a good time!
Oh my goodness- I love these Barb! You were rocking it and some are really big pieces. Go Barb go! And I love that you have a new header and are blogging again. On a roll… and ready to keep going.
ReplyDeleteThanks Colleen! You've been rockin it too!
ReplyDeleteI think Harlequin is worth saving. The Joke's on You is brilliant. Thank you Barb for sharing this. You've done a full month of study with Nancy in under a year. That's incredible or should I say crazy?
ReplyDeleteThank you Maria. I have the parts of Harlequin in a bin, maybe I'll revisit it someday. I feel a little stretched and bruised, but it's all good!
