Work-in-progress: almost finished altering the books

The end is in sight. I've cut open the covers of these altered books...

Just have to add the frames, tear the front niches and place the images I've painted recently.

I decided to pair the messenger cyclist with my little reader and her hiker friend.

Remember the travelers and their caravan from my Instagram feed?

They're the lead-in to this scene of an old man teaching little boys, as the sun rises behind them.

My goal is to finish all three by the end of the weekend... I may need your encouragement to get over the finish line, though. On Monday, ask me on Facebook if I've completed them.

SPACE at Magnuson: the Artist Trust frontier

The word is out: Wednesday evening is Artist Trust at Large/Seattle presentation night! In case you missed it, here are the details:

Some have RSVP'd from the far corners of Seattle, while others are literally just steps away. SPACE at Magnuson is housed in a building full of artist studios.

Visitors to artist Heather Carr's studio, as seen during Open Studio day in May 2015.

If you can't make it to Magnuson Park, please email me at the Contact Me link and I'll put you on an RSVP list for a later ATAL presentation.  Looking forward to sharing this information with you soon!  

Can you help me find my studio?

I'm starting to feel like my studio is a far-off land I'm trying to get to, but all the flights there have been delayed indefinitely.

Thank goodness for Fresh Paint's requirement that you either demo or make art.

That's how I got started on three altered books. Here's where I left off on one:

Visitors to my Fresh Paint festival booth examine a book I altered before their eyes.

More details soon... I gotta catch that plane to Studio Land.
