the next step



I have had smaller bottles and more bee's wax candles in the spots where the big bottles are now. I also thought about using different colored bottles but I like the repetition of these. It's not done yet. The bottles need to be filed with something and labeled and the wires holding the bottles in need to be finished off. I'm not crazy about the picture, but the piece in person makes me very happy so far.

questions

What do you think of when you hear the word 'healer'?  'Domestic'?  'Iron'?

I've been spending tons of time in my studio, coming up with a few pieces here and there. I'm finding that I have to make quite a few bad or mediocre things before I make something I love. Here are a few:





I am working out 2 pieces-one recent and one that I started months ago but can't figure out the next step. This is the first piece:



The support has 10 spots that I am going to put bottles on. What will be in these bottles I'm not sure yet, but I think the piece is called The Healer and there will be 'home remedies' in these bottles. My list so far: lavender, ginger, cinnamon, salt, sage, capsicum, mint, mustard-that's it so far. I want to use dry stuff. It makes things easier. There is also an 11th spot but it's not long enough to hold the bottles I am using, so I will be putting a small candle there.  This morning I put a wider base on the bottom because I'm afraid it will tip.

The other piece is kind of like a prayer flag. I had 9 small pieces from a shoe bag that I took apart. On these pieces I embroidered an iron shape in red. The shape also looks like the shape of a church window. I want to put words on them-probably in white so they are barely noticeable against the natural canvas background. I'm not sure of the words or the direction I want to go with this piece. I hung the piece up so I won't forget about it. That happens every once in a while. And this one is really stumping me.

My family wears me out.

that's right

I spoke to an advisor at Eastern CT State University yesterday. I'll be going back to school part-time in the fall (maybe even a class in the summer) to finally get my Bachelor's Degree. My major will be Fine Arts with a concentration in Sculpture, with a minor in Women's Studies. That's the plan anyway. It's all very confusing at this point, but I plan to work through all of it. My degree evaluation says I'm going in as a senior and need 30 credits in residence for my major. I'm very excited and a little intimidated all at the same time-the big fish-small fish thing. Now to figure out how to pay for it. FAFSA, here I come!

Are you there? You usually post at least once a day. Am I an overly concerned LJ friend?
