Sewing

I decided to focus on the stitching aspect of materials made from being sewn together

Stitching of the netting around teh clementines

I was looking at the stitches holding the sails

The stitching of a fireman's bunker gear

There was even stitching on the boot

Stitching on a fireman's patch

Stitching of a throw blanket

Stitching on my mattress

A sewing kit

Wrapping a pencil in thread

Stitching of a flag

A piece paper sewn shut

Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil

Stitching of a football

Stitching of a softball and glove

Sand Paper

 I thought it would be fun to use sand paper as it should, and to experiment with it outside of its context and the literal sense of its name

Imagine a bed made of sandpaper

This is more about the texture, but I sanded the sand paper to smooth it out

I was thinking about sand and the shape of my sandpaper and attempted a sort of Morroccon design

Thinking about sand again, I decided to paint a beach scene on sandpaper

They say a shark's skin feels like sandpaper

Transparency

I thought of transparency as something you can see through, and decided to use this inspiration of all things a person can look through and see through to the other side - Sorry some of the pictures are not rotated properly, I can't figure out why they won't load properly

Looking through a Magnifying Glass

Looking through Glasses

Looking through a Peephole

Seeing right through someone

Vision of what can be seen through the clear water through a clear pitcher

I am fascinated by the texture of wood and tried to experiment with different ways to both use it and alter it
