Feliné Picato says

Experimenting with embossing foil and embroidery for an idea I want to work on. This will probably end up somewhere for Free Art Friday this week.
I have been busy helping out with the Yellow Springs Arts Council and their new gallery space (tracking down info for picture rails, and buying paint, updating website, etc
Scrapbook Snippets 1970: Should Men Wear Makeup and Jacobean Embroidery
It was a big article in one of my FAVE Brit Teen Mags, JACKIE
Funny that people are still asking that lol! as this article states. I guess it's one of those neverending questions :)
Meanwhile Turner Prize Winner Grayson Perry just gets on with it.
Interview info at Guardian News
I just LOVE his Textile Work and the story behind this tapestry piece.

Yarnbombed Mannequin starts Obscenity Kerfuffle
anybody that knows Yellow Springs, Ohio knows it has a reputation for being alternative,and very liberal. So who would have guessed that at the 33rd year of Women's Voices Out Loud at the local Village Building this would happen.

Studio Shots and Sun Shadows
Always lovely to know what you do inspires others :)
Thanks Craft Gossip
It ended up being used for Free Art Friday in Yellow Springs, Ohio
and what inspires me?
Sun shadows dancing across a room, across a table, across artwork.

On the wonder you behold;

embroidery on metal
I can't remember who was throwing out these metal mesh panels, BUT I rescued them and they've been stuck in the garage for almost a year. Not sure what inspired me to get one out, but I thought it would be fun to try and do a bit stencil embroidery of my old pal George.
This one is destined for Free Art Friday.

Free Art Friday: Girl onThe Wire and all this Graff
Weather is nice today
and someone will be finding a free piece of art in town (Yellow Springs, Ohio). Clue: Look up, look down, who knows where, but she will be posted nearby.
Reminder: Free Art Friday is an art movement where artists leave free art out in public. It is not an invitation to free use of art images.

Master Manipulations in Art
After Vermeer -Girl with Pearl Earring oil on canvas by jafabrit
Like many other artists I have done my studies of master artists, but I never added the camera LOL.
This is floating around facebook, but unfortunately it is not credited :( so if anyone knows who did it, please let me know.
Lovely idea called Master Manipulations by The Escape Artists
Great name for an art group
So sad and wanted to gag
I did this painting a LONG time ago and it was based on a news story of a woman pointing to her face and explaining to the reporter that her boyfriend didn't mean it, he really loved her and bought her roses. Guess who was standing by as she said this, yea, the boyfriend. I just wanted to gag.
At the Women in The World Conference one panel discussed how violence against women is sweeping
Even a Child Could paint that
more info
LOL, but I've never seen a child pick the paints, prepare the canvas and do an abstract painting based on a specific event. Twombly said,"My line is childlike but not childish. It is very difficult to fake..." When I first saw Twombly's painting I felt like it was just a bunch of wonderful mad splotches of colour. I thought I'd try and give it a go at copying it and maybe in the
Art Under Attack but taking offence doesn't mean one can
claim special rights, or the right to be rude, to defame, to insult, to censor, or threaten with charges of sexual harassment.
Some people all too easily feel comfortable claiming sexual harassment because they don't like someone's art( As a REAL victim of abuse I find this to be a travesty but that's another story.

Here is what happened when one woman found this painting
Scrapbook Snippets 1971: Fashion, Reggae & Art
Didn't like the dungarees but I liked the models shoes and blouse on the left. You might notice some of the girls in the video wearing hot pant versions of these dungarees.
Oh yea! Top of the Pops and Double Barrel (was #1 on UK singles charts for two weeks in 71) by Dave & Ansil Collins and was my first fave record on the list in 1971.

The New
On the domestic front doing a couple of very basic granny square cushion covers. I whipped this out in a couple of hours watching a movie while I waited for the paint to dry on my HUGE scrap piece of wood.

What fun, look at these food themed cushion covers from 1980.

Scribbles
I'd like to think my abstract scribbles would have pleased Twombly but alas I think not, they are just scribbles. Looking at the ugly comments below the youtube video about some of his work, there are many who regard his work as just that. Fortunately he ignored his critics and just got on with it. As this obituary article stated:"he seemed to welcome the privacy that came with unpopularity,
"Cry 'Havoc!', and let slip the dogs of war"
Sketchbook with acrylic and ink
That's a line from Shakespeare's Julius Ceasar Act 3, Scene 1, line 273. The phrase "dogs of war" is considered cliche or so it states on the wiki entry. Cliche or not it seems appropriate considering how many are beating the Iran war drums and ITCHING to unleash those dogs of war,as if we haven't had enough already. Sigh!

craft vs Art: street art stencil in stitch
Betsy Greer has a super blog entry about Grayson Perry Great Art vs Craft Debate .
I was really intrigued with the video where Perry talks about making The Tomb of the Unknown Craftsman show at the British Museum.
I liked this comment "My art is what I make, my craft is the skills I have learned in order to make it well" I found here.
Every now and again I will read someone asking if
