Normally my rust dye process involves steaming the wrapped bundles in an old enamel pot in the house, but yesterday I took advantage of the heat and humidity and let them do their magic outside. Rusty landscape spikes and onion skins are laid out on cotton muslin. Bundles after they have been “stewing” in the black plastic bag  for several hours. Unwrapping the bundles is always my favorite part… never know what lies within until the big reveal!   Red onion skins, rusty spikes and a fireplace screen combined to transform this piece.  “And what do you do with the cloth … Continue reading →

I’m at that point of closure for this necklace.  The elements are coming together!  Yes, one at a time!  This process is very exacting.  This piece will be exhibited first at the Northfield Arts Guild members show, Sept. 1-24.  Then, (most likely), this necklace will also be shown on the Studio ArTour, at my studio, #16.  Come on by!

Sue Peoples and Julie Nordine traveled to Madison WI

Posted on June 7, 2016

Sue Peoples and Julie Nordine traveled to Madison WI to take a class on making a glass corsage with their friend Sara Sally La Grand. We made a variety of glass components on the end of a steel wire with the finished corsage in mind. We arranged the cooled bits and pieces into our desired corsage shape and wired it all together. It was fun to see all of the students’ different color combinations and creative components that made up their personalized corsages.

If I’m on a plein air expedition, with all my portable gear and paints along, I will start right there to get a good likeness or nearly completed painting. I also take many photographs to assist my memory while finishing the painting in my studio. My main medium is oil paint applied by brush … Continue reading →
