Annick McKenzie - Colourist Artist. Home, Sweet Home , 60cm x 40cm Our mission: To look for the house of our dreams and to book a fabulous restaurant for our 30th wedding anniversary dinner celebration…will it be in Saint Tropez, Sainte Maxime, Plan de la Tour even Flayosc or Tourtour ? … so many choices..maybe we will try a few during our 10 days stay! I am taking my two Moleskine sketch books, pens, watercolours and I know there are some exciting motifs waiting for me to draw and paint. We will also re-visit one of my favourite museum Le Musée de l’ Annonciade in Saint-Tropez. If you want to see wonderful paintings by some of the great Masters of Colour, this is the place to go and be inspired by painters from the Pointillist, Fauvist and Nabis movements…as they say in England ‘ just my cup of tea’ !

Who hasn’t got a golden dream ? For the last 20 years ours has been to find our home, sweet home, in the very place we love and yes, where we feel at home . I will report on this trip in two weeks time… stay tuned ! Merci Steve ! The art room plant. Layers. Textures shapes and color. Found, stitched and dyed. Judy's Journal. Spirit Cloth. Ok. So I have been mulling over this Feel Free thing. Kind of a long read here. Here is how I see imagine it. First off, I will be blogging here, as usual, at Spirit Cloth, maybe a little less frequently. Feel Free will be a separate site which will focus,in detail,on technique, idea, process. Mostly, the green words will be a sort of category guide, taking you to a new post at Feel Free, in which I might define/redefine a category.

You have no idea what a bank of images, videos, audios etc. is lurking here. In addition, I will be using Flickr to organize my projects, like I did COMA. I will also, eventually, be closing Threadcrumbs and incorporating the content into Feel Free, as an inspiration resource. I am no spring chicken, you know? I plan to Open the Feel free site by Monday. Alternative video link alternative audio link Meanwhile, an idea emerged from this undoing. Not all those who wander are lost. FRYD + DESIGN.

I'm really enjoying this collaboration with Vanessa of moira & obbie!

We have two new pieces to share this week from The Inhabit Project. They complement each other nicely again, don't you think? We are working independently from each other yet somehow our pieces always click. My piece, Art Wall Deconstructed, started out as a basic image of my small art gallery area in my studio. It evolved into a deconstruction of several of my artworks including Glow and an earlier collaboration piece. I love how the linen fabric became three dimensional as I embroidered the circle. And here's Vanessa's piece, Coat: Threadbare. Once again, she offers a beautiful description of her thoughts: Vanessa Filley See more of Vanessa's pieces here and mine here.
