Robert Maloney's “Overtime”

Larissa Davis — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 15:12:39 GMT

“Overtime”
12" x 12" x 2½"

This was produced as a preliminary study, one way Robert tries out his techniques before working on larger, more complex compositions.

You can read about Robert's work and see more of his art in the May/June issue of Cloth Paper Scissors.

Karen Winter: I Made This

Larissa Davis — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 15:09:31 GMT

Karen’s husband, Josh, worked and trained hard as a triathlete to lower his blood pressure for his health and for his family.

Karen scanned the medal images and printed them onto heavy cardstock, making some of the images stand out with the use of Pop-dots™.

To surprise the reader, Karen sewed extra chipboard pages together, hinging them with artist canvas, to create a fold-out page that measures more than a yard in length.

As seen in the May/June 2010 issue of Cloth Paper Scissors.

Using burned tissue from Patricia Baldwin Seggebruch

A variety of glass slides that incorporate burned-glue papers (above) and an encaustic book cover with burned-glue papers in the window (right) showcase the versatility of these unique papers.

More Art from Dae Rebeck Sanchez

Larissa Davis — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 13:53:53 GMT

“These works are closely based on the original photos I shot that led to the idea of the “Our Ladies of Perpetual Help” (Cloth Paper Scissors, March/April 2010).

“Death of an Artist Series” (above)
4" x 6"
Acrylic, transfer, collage, and star jewels on wood

“The quote on the painting reads: ‘Worth more dead than alive.’ Sadly the statement is true, regarding my current economic state. There is lots of green to represent the cash, and red for the debt. ‘Death of an Artist’ is true only in the sense that I might need to get a non-art job.”

“Modern Headdress” (right)
4" x 6"
Acrylic, transfer, collage, and star jewels on wood

“This sort of had a Plains Indian theme, once I put her in the dollar-sign shawl dress. I couldn't help painting the background in a way that reminded me of an elk tooth dress. Then I started to think about Native American gaming/casinos.”

"Lily in the Sky sans Diamonds" by Jane LaFazio

Larissa Davis — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 13:41:11 GMT

“Lily in the Sky sans Diamonds”
13" x 9"

“The sun print was done on pre-treated watercolor paper (see resource list in the March/April 2010 issue of Cloth Paper Scissors). I layered a transparency with the drawing of the lily with an actual lily on top, and let the sun make the print. After I rinsed and dried it, I drew a contour drawing of a lily with white colored pencil directly on the sun-printed paper. I painted the lily with gesso mixed with water to make it slightly transparent. The final touch was using spray gesso and a piece of lace as a stencil in the lower left corner.”

“Illume” by Linda Blinn

Larissa Davis — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 13:30:15 GMT

“Illume”
16" x 25"
Sheer organza and silk charmeuse

“A chandelier acrylic overlay, crystal shapes cut from cardstock, and a string of pearls were placed on a pre-treated piece of chiffon. The arrangement was placed outdoors in direct sunlight for sun printing. The same method was used to sun print the silk charmeuse, and a strip of charmeuse was attached to the top and bottom of the chiffon using double-stick fusible web. After the piece was rinsed and dried, text was added using stencils and paint sticks, and flower embellishments were placed in each corner.”

Holly Berube’s in-studio show space

Larissa Davis — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 16:59:59 GMT

Mixed-media artist, designer, and home builder Holly Berube puts a distinct stamp on her studio, which stands out among her neighbors in the Western Avenue studios building in Lowell, Massachusetts. Adjacent to her studio (pictured in the Spring 2010 issue of Cloth Paper Scissors Studios) is a show space that she can rearrange to display her creations during open studios events.

“The coral wall is a temporary wall I added; I have all my artwork hanging on each side. You can only see one piece, which is a Maine scene I framed in driftwood. I made everything in the room and set it up to look like a real bedroom. I made the headboard and side table out of driftwood, the quilt and pillows, and several ocean-inspired sundresses are on display. In the photo you can see one child’s sundress, and some jewelry scattered around,” says Holly.  

“This is a photo that was shot looking into a mirror I made. It reflects toward the bed, and it highlights a driftwood vase and candelabra I made from shells. Again you can see more jewelry. The bureau is a recycled piece I did a crackle finish on and it has driftwood knobs.”
