Guess you could say I’m on a roll! I’ve finished the second Assemblage Challenge and just about finished my submission for Mary Lou Zeek‘s 100 Artist Show. Due in January. I know! I can hardly believe it myself!
First. Here’s Staci’s assemblage in progress:
I really enjoyed working with the circuit board and can see using more of it in the future. Very graphic. Very steampunk. And it cuts like a dream. (don’t tell Tom I don’t wear a mask!) After making the box, I realized right away it needed something else. But the inside I was pretty happy with:
What I’m realizing through these challenges is that simple, everyday items are imbued with power from their owner’s inclusion in this project. Whoddathunkit?! I love trying to untangle why something came to me, where, if at all, it needs to fit into the overall puzzle and then making the whole thing cohesive. Fun stuff!
The final exterior. With that little bit of something:
It will be packed up and sent on Monday, Staci! I hope you enjoy it half as much as I did creating it!
Oh! And one final thing! Take a look to your left … I’m adding new things to etsy in time for Christmas. Weeeee!
AMAZING!!!! Being in the electronics industry I have lots of opportunity to play with circuit boards…..gotta add them to my art box.
Great work.
Thanks Karen. Circuit boards rock. I bet they'd be awesome in your copper works. Wonder if they'd imprint well? Could make a really cool pattern if they did!
Wow… fantastic piece…very steampunk indeed!
Love you new layout, the zipper is groovy!
Thanks Sonya!
Oh this is too cool. It looks ancient and futuristic at the same time. Job well done!
Thanks Seth!
Fabulous stuff! the circuit board doors look great.
Thanks for your kind words! LOVE your name!
Staci's assemblage is intriguing. I love the new look of your blog, zipper and all!
Thanks Robyn. It really was a wonderful puzzle to put together.
And thanks for actually, y'know visiting the site. What with the advent of feedreaders most don't – me included!
