Week #16 Indigo Angels

2009-12-14T02:18:00.000-08:00

The "angels" are a doll I made when I was into dying and had an indigo vat. The background is also indigo but I played around with color changes on the computer. I was thinking of the holidays and also the angels dancing on the head of a pin. Couldn't quite figure out how to work a pin into the design, although I haven't given up on that idea - it needs more time. Kay Dolezal

Week #15 A little different direction

2009-12-07T06:49:00.000-08:00

This week I've switched gears a bit. I used an image I had drawn in 1991 when I was fascinated by the backs of trucks. I was driving a lot between Waltham and Worcester. I printed it on fabric so I could embroider it. I may do more stitching on this piece - I'm not sure. I really like using both the computer and hand work and hope to do more of this. It felt like a mini breakthrough. Kay Dolezal

Week #14

2009-12-01T07:15:00.000-08:00

This week I came across this poem by e.e. cummings and wanted to use it. I love the poem's spare statement and the shape of it. So I gave myself a holiday from writing haiku.
I had taken several photos of leaves and found one which as you see I played with using Photoshop. And I used a net I had from my collection.
So here is my week #14 effort.

This week I was thinking of the past, not in the present moment so much. Because of the approaching holidays I was thinking of my mother. Thanksgiving especially was a big holiday for her because of the cooking involved. I think she enjoyed it; she certainly always got praise for it and we cleaned our plates.
So this is a little picture I have of her as a child. The lower part was burned by a cigarette so it doesn't show much of her pretty dress. But it shows her flower hat and her expression which is remarkably consistent with her adult personality. At least in part. Kay Dolezal

Weeks #11 and #12

2009-11-15T12:47:00.000-08:00

Here are my pieces for weeks 11 and 12. I hope they show how the time of year has been on my mind. I've been enjoying playing with Photoshop. Kay Dolezal

Piece for Week # 10

2009-11-01T01:49:00.000-07:00

I was struck by the mandated return to Standard Time taking place this weekend and it seemed to be amazingly relevant to our Time Project. I used some pieces of previous work to make a collage with Photoshop Elements. Kay Dolezal

Here is my piece for this week.

Kay Dolezal. 10/19/09 Week #8 piece

2009-10-19T21:19:00.000-07:00

This piece came from this goldenrod which I saw on a walk. I tend to think of them as being in fields or with other goldenrods. This one seemed of independent plant/mind enjoying her association with a locust tree.

Hi Everybody,

Sitting here w/Joan learning how to do this. Here's what I've got for the last 3 weeks:

Week 4. Thinking about giving my rock boxes and bowls as gifts. Sometimes to someone I know, sometimes a stranger and sometimes just to nature. This week I offered a Rock box with some water, some sea pebbles and some red outback grit in it. Again, symbolic gestures to the natural “disasters in the world this week, flooding in our south, dust storms in Australia. I added to Noah’s rock garden outside 100 Pond Street. It was a peace offering to someone I have an ongoing conflict with. He returned it via James, my 11 year old nephew.

Not a particularly successful venture.

Week 5. Feeling confused about the point of my project - to make something? – to give Something? Where am I going? I used the time to make some mixed clay balls. (no picture)

Week 6. Still confused, the morning of my scheduled “Time Project “ time. Taiko and I went to visit ninety-seven year old Nettie at a nursing home. Her family was concerned that she had no appetite and wasn’t eating. I asked her why to which she replied that it didn’t taste good – she didn’t like it. Asked what she would eat – she grinned and said Chocolate ice cream. Later that afternoon we went back with one of my bowls and a quart of chocolate ice cream. Nettie was thrilled and ate like a teenager.

Kay Dolezal Week #7 piece

2009-10-12T12:03:00.000-07:00

I feel awkward being the first to post, but maybe breaking the ice will be a good thing. This is my effort for Monday 10/12/09 which is the seventh week by my calculations. If you feel moved to

catch up on my previous weeks they're on my own blog. http://weepingcrow.blogspot.com/

OK gang. Don't leave me hanging out here alone.
