Lieven came over last week to do the “official” photo shoot for my show entries, and I got the final shots a few days later. They’re beautiful!
Here are the finished cat placemats (I completed them late so I shot them myself):
And here are the two phoenixes, both full photos and detail shots. I can tell them apart easily, but then, mothers always know their offspring, right? I think it would be hard for most people to distinguish the two, so I’ve titled them “Goodbye, Ma (v.1)” and “Goodbye, Ma (v.2)” It occurred to me after I sent in my show entries that using software terminology for numbering pieces is about the least sexy possibility out there, but oh well. Henceforth I shall name them something sexier, like “Tweedledee” and “Tweedledum”.
I also decided to enter the musk ox scarf and the sea-turtle scarf, and the photos are so lovely I have to share:
And here is a shot of the photographer at work, in my oh-so-glamorous “photography studio”:
And that’s it for now!
Amazing work! Where is you show being held?
The two shows I’ve entered are “Mixed Bag”, an exhibit at the Convergence conference, and “Complexity”, Complex Weavers’ biennial exhibit. No idea if I’ll get into either, though! I won’t know for a few months, I think.
Congratulations Tien A beautiful collection of artistic works and lovely mementos. Also thank you for your ongoing friendly sharing and discourse. It is so good, especially on tough days, to have your blogs pop up and remind me of the joys of living and doing our craft.
Thanks, Marion! It was a tough day here as well, so your comment brightened up my day, too!
Tien, you are such an inspiration! These are just beautiful!
