Giving Amie McNee’s 2 week reset challenge from “We Need Your Art” a go and making an eye a day out of DAS air drying clay. Looking forward to seeing the improvements- will have to get thinking of what I can do with them all!

This was a good reminder for me today as my overwhelm starts to drown me. When you feel like the world is on fire, make art. It's important, it's activism, and it's a release.

I am painting for an upcoming show while listening to "We Need Your Art" by Aime McNee.

I have been running on stress and burnout and this is inspiring me to get painting and create. I recommend this book for any creative, not matter your creative medium.

Quote "Trust me on this one. Making art is always, now and before, an act of defiance. So, defy. Resist. Nobody wants you to make art. You'll always feel like an imposter. And in times like this, it will forever feel like a waste of time. It's not. Art is a throughline of human history. We're all holding onto that rope and it helps pull is along - better yet, it helps those who come later understand what came before. Grab that rope. Let's go." -- Michèle Lamy

As a person that is actually so perfectionist it embodies my disorder, this book was made for me

And for these pages alone the book is totally worth it

My latest Kinusaiga, Purple Fairy. Full description of it and the inspiration piece in Alt Text. Her print fabric wings are my offering for the prompt.

#quiltsky #artquilt #textileart #kinusaiga
In an Art Nouveau style Kinusaiga stands a purple fairy. She is holding a long stemmed purple rose to her face. She has a large lavender and a smaller white rose in her hair by her unseen ear. Her dark purple hair forms into a long braid down her purple print wings. A strip of dark purple crushed velvet and iridescent gold forms a border to the wings by her shoulders. The crushed velvet also rims her arm. Her hair is adorned with 6 metallic gold Mackintosh roses as is a gold thread that starts at at the border in the crushed velvet and flows down a little farther than her hair braid. It has 8 Mackintosh roses on it. In Art Nouveau style, she is flanked by vertical metallic gold sections that are jeweled with round green gems, crystal AB blocks and green print fabric. Where her wings exist in the same space on the left, her wings are also jeweled by gems. Instead of green rounds, they are purple. She has a red bead for her lips and she is standing in front of an iridescent shape that subtly changes pastel colors from purple to green. Is it a partial moon? You decide. The sky is black with metallic gold horizontal lines scraping across. Next to her is a stylized tree with green print and metallic gold trunk. The leaves are a bright gold and green print reminiscent of Gustav Klimt’s work. In the tree are gold metal leaves and gold Mackintosh roses that also fall from the tree. This Kinusaiga piece is 10 x 16”. This technique is from Japan. It is fabric tucking into foam or wood to resemble art quilts or paintings, determined by the skills of the maker. This is another view of the art , from a distance and on an angle. This is the inspiration for Purple Fairy. It is a gesso panel from 1928, by Margaret MacDonald Mackintosh and her husband, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, who were the Glasgow Art Nouveau Movement. Their Mackintosh Rose motif is still popular today. This panel was also interpreted in a bronze plate.
