Category Archives: Line Drawings It’s been a while since I’ve shared a video with you… or some of my drawings for that matter. I thought I’d do both today for your pleasure. First this video sent to me by Daphne. Thanks! It made me want to play around with Apollolian Gaskets so I drew the following: #16: #17… don’t...

I saw a man at a concert the other day with eye-brows one inch high. An elder man, of course, they grow the brushiest kind, don’t you know. I am going to do a drawing of him in my sketch book. I’ve been looking forward to this for a few days. I have been working on George, my husb., to STOP those damn barbers from pruning his at the moment when they are just starting to be interesting. I’ve tried the VIRILE approach with him and he’s only partly convinced. He says he’ll let Yoshia decide. She cuts his hair over in Wailuku. I love going there because she is “the real Maui”. But why does what Yoshia thinks win out over what EYE think?? That’s the challenge. This all matters because I have no eyebrows really, but someone suggested that I should powder what I have so I look younger [at 70]. So when I finally get into my sketch book to draw these eye-brows I wonder about doing a series, a SERIES of them. Well, how does all this relate to Vi Hart? How about a bushy eye-brows series. In my sketch book I also have an on-going random numbers series.

I do this kind of doodling all the time during work meetings. Who knew it had a real name?  #13… an experiment with font: #14… an exercise in stitch: #15 an idea for a new quilt: Last year… or was it the year before that… I experimented with shape. I made quilts with strips, squares, rectangles, circles and triangles. My favorite of all is perhaps a toss-up between triangles and circles. There is definitely... by robin 1 comment

What a beautiful baby. He will surely enjoy your gorgeous quilt!  Line Drawing #11… how very tribal of me: Line Drawing #12… Tibet. Someday I’ll be here… right here, only, maybe on a warm day. A painting by Susie Y. Anderson, such a delight. Finally, thanks to Rosa for including me in this etsy set. Enjoy! by robin no comments  I have been drawn to landscapes lately. Much of my work with fabric is non-representational and I’m experiencing a shift within myself to create something which relates to the physical world. These drawings are from photographs I’ve kept… this one, #5, taken during my “telephone pole” stage: …#6, a view of an upcountry pasture: …... by robin 4 comments

Thanks for sharing the poem! I think she has a career in writing and maybe Mom could use the poem as inspiration for a quilt.

What a cute poem! To me, there is something so elemental and peaceful about landscapes. I’m always drawn to them.

Thank you for this. It means a lot… to her, and subsequently, to me.

Tell Shelby her poem is fantastic! It makes me smile and cringe at teh same time!  I’m in that pre-event nervous stage where still more work needs to be done, I’m not if it’s all going to come together as planned yet I can feel the excitement building. This year I was given the task of organizing artists to paint ornaments to be auctioned off at the event. We used crystal... by robin 5 comments

I’d love to see this as one of your quilts

I agree. This could be a really beautiful quilt. It also reminds me of one of my favorite artists, David Body. His personal website is not working right now, but you can see some of his work here: http://www.lytharts.org.uk/cms/RunScript.asp?Page=41&Article_type=Exhibitions&p=ASP\Pg41.asp I would love to take some of his ideas and render it with hand dyed fabric. It is in my head, but I have not time currently to make it. I am certain your tree will be lovely. I do hope we get to see it. Thanks for sharing!

Ah yes, caffeine. You could embrace the jitters and have even MORE coffee though!! That could make an interesting line.
