This has two reasons. One is a weaker eye, even with the latest spectacles, I notice that light has become crucial for my work. Second is a progressive drying-out and soreness of my fingers which I fight with fanatic ointment cures, yet it will not work well enough to give back skill and resiliance. The sense of touch is reduced. It happened before, it went away; I hope so. I write instead, sometimes I paint. Just to tell you I'm still here, living a remote, quiet life, vaccinated, fearless and having my nightly battles with website software. <br /><p></p>Evahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03005517826999307074noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7495582357459044083.post-80007817716518022062020-09-29T16:13:00.004+02:002022-02-10T17:03:02.745+01:00Kleines Korak-Tutorial<div class="separator"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZRkGSbJFtwfjw0hV_4E9JNcLMgoGNRhxwD_2fUIjUUX7gxL7mTLqXx7e5Ba_Wu9H-ouT8Khpb7m2DGNOXr44YyNJ8oJ3xA_js8Qskl6kvvXM8ZaOlqjzxP4HV4dcfvHiQLdpIOWK-Xbps/s1137/1200-012.jpg" style="clear: left;

By request from a customer, I learnt that my design "Pomegranate Blue" has been chosen for Lampshades and obviously have sold well. Yet, I will not continue offering my design in Spoonflower, due to a hell complicated tax form which I am not willing to sign nor able to understand, and I never sign what I don't understand.<br />

The work of insects can be discrete and quick. Now I chose matching colors from my crewel wool to weave small patches over the holes. <br />

"Baumseelen" nennt mein Freund Oliver Hertel seine Schöpfungen, die im Holz das lebendige Wesen erkennen und für uns sichtbar machen. Er verwendet Holz von Bäumen, die irgendwo im Weg waren, gefällt wurden, gefällt werden mußten... und rettet so die Baumgeister, wenigstens sehe ich das darin.<br />
Zur Zeit ist seine Situation kompliziert, denn das kleine <a href="http://www.kuenstlerhaus-suedbahnhof.de/baumseelen.html" target="_blank">Kunstzentrum</a>, in dem er bislang gewohnt und gearbeitet hat, ist durch ein Bauprojekt in Gefahr.<br />
Ich bewundere Olivers Kunst sehr und möchte mithelfen, dass die Wichtigkeit dieser Ateliers erkannt und die Künstler unterstützt werden.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;"><i>Tree Souls -- my friend Oliver Hertel creates wooden sculptures which express the living spirit of trees and make them visible. He uses wood from trees that were "in the way" somewhere, were chopped down, had to be chopped down... and this way, he saves the souls of trees -- at least, this is what I see in his art.<br />At the moment, his situation is complicated, because the small art center in which he has lived and worked is endangered by a building project. <br />I adore Oliver's art and I want to help emphasize the importance of this studio and support the artists.</i></span><br />

Recently I have taken a liking for labyrithic structures. My pictures start as a kind of big zentangles. The rule is to cover the sheet with lines that create some kind of "streets" of similar width, so that the shapes interweave. I do not plan; as the rule of zentangles is to follow a feeling, not a plan, I kind of "knit" the patterns without much intention. </div>

Here is one piece before coloring. I use fine, non-soluable pens. If you like, feel free to download it in full resolution and print it for coloring fun of your own! And please don't hesitate to show me the result by posting a link in my comments!<br /><div style="text-align: left;">

Size: The larger 3 pieces on top are about 30x30 cm, the lower series a little smaller than letter format. </div>

The cushions were displayed in a mostly subdued light -- for 5 years, I concede --, and they were washed gently at 30° C. It was a surprise to see them again. It was not the years that did the bleaching job. It was one washing. I call this bad quality. <br />For comparism: A quilt of multi-origin cloth. Produced in the same year, displayed constantly.<br />

The "Flying Geese" border is finished, the first part of the next row is shown at the bottom of pic 1. New African fabrics contribute a lot to the character of this quilt.<br />

There are a few stencils I cut out of plastic boxes. The wooden board is important because I push the pins hard through the cloth layers.<br />
There is an Estonian pin cushion, wool embroidery, and the neon green thread which I use for the whole quilt. The red-framed diamond is one of four corner pieces which will be joined into the flying geese rows.<br />

Some other quilters in a quilt group saw this piece and suggested that also this one should be quilted. This is not the tradition of korak; and although I love quilting and the result and its feel, I will not do it this time. The reason is: The Korak method is based on doubled scraps. A korak naturally becomes more sturdy and stiffer than a conventional quilt top. I quilted the latest one, and it became so stiff that you can form it into sculptures that won't collapse, and it weighs a ton. I'm working on a lighter and more flexible piece this time, hoping it will be more comfy as a sleeping cover.

This is how far I got until now. 3 "layers", a center piece and two streets that wrap around it. The principle I tried to apply is not as striking as I thought it would be -- on the contrary, it is rather invisible. I have an idea how to continue. Starting without a plan is a risk, but making a plan has been the greater risk in my life and art.Evahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03005517826999307074noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7495582357459044083.post-50519994453846261292014-07-10T20:13:00.003+02:002014-07-10T20:14:48.099+02:00Close-Up on Korak Building up a block of strips:<br />

After a phase of mere experiment, a concept is forming: A rather rough diamond shape and blocks which fill the gaps between the diamonds.<br />
The direction of the blocks is given by the central element within the light green border.<br />
I hope to achieve a ray-light effect through the strip blocks. <br />
I work in rows which wrap around the piece, starting in the center. So I don't have to plan the whole quilt in advance. <br />

During my holidays, I did not have much time to quilt. Though I took the piece with me, together with a bundle of scraps and thread/needles, there was not much time to continue. Instead, my husband and I did a few walks, rode by boat, or slept a lot.<br /><a href="http://picturesque-walks-in-hamburg.blogspot.de/2014/06/croatian-holidays.html" target="_blank">Here is a choice of pictures from our journey; see also newer postings!</a>Evahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03005517826999307074noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7495582357459044083.post-28175418261485813122014-06-05T17:55:00.001+02:002014-06-05T19:38:29.565+02:00No Planning -- just Chaos No concept, just adding scraps.

It can be shaped into a tunnel without collapsing. I started another, using the korak technique, using my husband's discarded shirt as a grid to do the piecing on. Still, everything looks skewed; seems to be a genetic disorder of mine. I will not quilt this one more than necessary, just so much that I can attach the reverse, to get a lighter and more flexible piece this time. But I may as well end up with a crib quilt for my 1-year-old grandnephew.</div>

I recommend to view this awesome website with a remarkable attitude towards the stitching women and their personal story. The ladies who support the project by buying the work of the Afghani women and integrate these pieces into their quilts show respect and charity at the same time, enhancing the work of the women in Kabul and other places and letting them shine.<br />

You may have noticed that there haven't been postings on my blog for a long time. The reason was that my other project -- much like the latest one I posted -- occupied me completely and would not allow me to concentrate on other things. Apart from that, I had to undergo an operation of my right leg after a minor accident because the hematoma would not disappear. This operation was done on April 12th and is history by now. I'm not sure what craft project will be next, because my right eye doesn't respond well on work being done closely to my eyes, be it embroidery, quilting, or painting watercolor pictures -- computer work doesn't affect it, surprisingly. Well, when aging, you have to adapt to your limitations.Evahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03005517826999307074noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7495582357459044083.post-9623885100061690342014-01-28T13:35:00.000+01:002014-01-29T13:15:40.862+01:00A Completely Different Kind of Work<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Last night, our local government held a memorial hour for the victims of a Hamburg Concentration Camp. It was the prison for women who had been deported from Poland, Czekoslovakia and other occupied countries. I had the honor to provide a picture show of images shown during the speeches and the intermediate music pieces. <br />

</div>
My quilt "Ethnographic Museum" is not very large, about 4x3 ft. I decided that it is finished, though it will never have bed-size; But some things don't improve when being enlarged. The reason is probably that there are plenty of details which don't allow it to be larger. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The last part I did is the row of triangles on the right side of the view below. It is a convincing signal to walk upstairs, as you can find it in many museums. The quilt now starts with a strong clockwise movement, driving left. Must be a British museum.<br />

And now, I'm almost finished with the binding. As you can see in this picture, there are different fabrics instead of framing the whole piece with the same fabric. I just could not make up my mind. I also thought that the jeopardy of materials should be continued allover, this might harmonize with the character of the whole piece better than an "orderly" or conventional binding. <br />
I might even turn this method of binding into some kind of personal brand. <br />

P.S. The colors are not quite as bright as in the first picture which I took with a flash light. They are more like the 3rd pictures shows them, a little more subdued, looking vintage more than any other I made.Evahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03005517826999307074noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7495582357459044083.post-28310690351177761602013-10-13T15:06:00.001+02:002013-10-13T15:07:15.238+02:00Ethnographic Quilt, Close-Up<div style="text-align: left;">
I showed you my "Museum" or "Ethnographic" quilt more in a survey recently; now, as I proceed, I like to give you some close looks which probably make your hair stand up about the irregularities of my stitching. Actually, I don't plan, but improvise; I don't iron, but fold and press the edge with my fingernails; I keep it on my lap or on a small wooden board which you can see in some of the pictures when I find it a nuissance to cut up my thread because it went through the tablecloth.

It is a confrontation with the things and symbols that our ancestors or people or tribes thought to be magic or sacred. I wonder if the people who are in charge of such objects are aware of it; to them, they are precious as rare artefacts, evidence of craft and skills, intelligence, or artistic height. Some museum directors (like in case of our local ethnic museum) seem to be aware of the spiritual radiance of their objects and let also events take place like the exposition of Buddhist relics.<br />
By making this quilt, I am aware of effects that go beyond being playful.<br />
<br />
A portrait of the goddess Kali, crowned with African style fabric and surrounded by other, mainly floral scraps; an explanation in old German writing, portrait and writing by hand.<br />
I have to be careful to join in the style of the quilt that I started with. I starts looking different already.<br />

You can look at it upside down as well, because a quilt, when lying flat on a bed, can be turned either way. I prefer quilts on beds. The female person or goddess was taken from ancient ceramics of Sumer culture. I gave her a consort. They both step on a scorpion to ward off evil, and I see them as divine teachers and donators, the male one bringing the light and mammals for domestication, the female with plant sprouts and birds.<br />
