Here’s another fabric pattern I was messing around with. I don’t know about the plaid in the background, but that can be easily changed out. I might try polka-dots instead.

Posted in craft, Daniel Allyn Lee, Painting, Textile with tags craft, design, doll, fantasy, handmade, monster, toy, wizard on January 31, 2011 by Daniel Allyn LeeI made a couple test dolls. One of which is a custom mighty muggs monster; I got a bunch of blanks for cheap recently. The second is a Wizard I made from scratch using polymer clay, fabric, and batting all on a wire armature.
With the monster I wanted to try out my paint on, and gluing pieces onto a DIY doll like this. Its sort of like a munny, but by Hasbro. Then, with the wizard I wanted to try making a doll like this. I wasn’t too concerned with how he turned out I didn’t really do too much planning on him. The sculpting is pretty basic but he’s kind of cute. now that I know how thses will turn out I wall definitely attempt more involved designs for both.
Nested Flowers
Posted in Art, Collage, J. D. Hastings, Painting, Textile with tags abstract, Art, Canvas, Collage, colors, J. D. Hastings, Painting, Safety-Pins on July 13, 2010 by jdhastingsMany thanks to fellow member, Jason for sending me some photo suggestions this weekend. The settings helped a lot and I have updated the pictures from last week’s quilting project.
This week I’m finally posting something that formed the basis of this post and this post. Those were both sketches to teach me how to make this or to help me visualize a color scheme that is something of a departure for me.
“3 Layer Flower” 24″ x 24″ Acrylic on Canvas with Safety-Pins
What’s new about this is it had the basic form as this piece but manages to nest the shape within itself. Honestly, I wasn’t as happy with the final result as I hoped I’d be, and have still considered adding some purple higlights into the fields of blue, but I did accomplish the basic goal I set out to do. In the future I can now nest several more layers in similar fashion. In theory.

puppet
Posted in Art, Collage, craft, Daniel Allyn Lee, Textile on May 18, 2009 by Daniel Allyn LeeI didn’t get a lot of creative stuff done this last week. No fine art for sure. I did work on a puppet, started on some finger puppets, made some monsters for a wholesale order and sketched some new doll designs.
I’m sucha slacker.

We Like Knitted Things
Posted in Art, Textile, Toni Tiller with tags Art, craft, knitting, Textile, Toni Tiller on May 17, 2009 by Toni TillerIt’s not my birthday, not even close, but if anyone felt like getting me a present I wouldn’t mind one of these demented knit objects by Patricia Waller. I mean really, who among us does not need a fully knitted buffet, a set if false teeth, or an unfortunate accident?
Woven Weaves
Posted in abstract, Art, J. D. Hastings, mixed media, Painting, Textile with tags Abstract Art, Art, Canvas, fiber art, J.D. Hastings, mixed media, non-representational, Painting on April 14, 2009 by jdhastingsWhen I first started wrecking canvases for reassemblage, I mainly wove various paintings together. At the time I didn’t know it but this is a fairly common practice, springing as far as I can tell from the steady merging of fiber arts into the traditional, paint-dominated “fine arts” canon. This piece is made of woven paintings that I’ve stabilized with acrylic medium, then cut up and wove a second time.
Hopefully the detail after the jump makes it clear what’s going on here.
The blue bar and red square are my standard saefety-pin style. They and the vertical black bar are stretched to separate bars that are mounted atop the main canvas and frame, giving the piece a three dimensionality tht is probably impossible to convey here.

But is it Art?: Yarn Theory
Posted in "But Is It Art?", Art, Textile on January 13, 2009 by jdhastings 
I recently came across a story at Newscientist.com titled How To Knit A Brain about visual artists who have used yarn to represent the gunk inside our noggins in anatomiclly correct manner. The image above is by Psychiatrist/ Textile Artist Karen Norberg. Below the jump is a work by psychologist/textile artist Marjorie Taylor.
