I’m thinking about what to make as an entry for the second INTERNATIONAL GLASS AND TEXTILE ART SALON exhibition, open to South American artists, with similar rules to last time: entries can be 2D or 3D, maximum size 20cm x 20cm x20cm, open technique and theme, and must combine glass and textile materials and techniques in some way. You might remember my piece from the first one, which I was in, last January<\/a> – and of course I hope to be accepted for this next one – particularly as the exhibition will be at the Museo Arte Precolumbino y Indigena – MAPI<\/a> – a great little museum in the Old City Montevideo. one of our favourite places<\/p>\n\n\n

I’m thinking glass beads, definitely, and probably fibreglass again. I still have plenty of fibreglass from last time, but the glass bead supply is a bit meagre, prolly because I’ve only done relatively little beadwork down the years \ud83d\ude42 Still, I’ve found some lovely green beads from that same collection of Egyptian handmade ones, and I have a few ‘green’ ideas – green being my favourite colour. My textile friend Felipe has suggested I visit another friend of his who retired from a haberdashery\/merceria business and may have plenty of the tiny glass beads, or indeed others, so I’m meeting with her next week, fingers x… <\/p>\n\n\n

My meagre bead supply is not enough for my current plans…<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

In rummaging through my ‘bead bag’ and opening every little container I discovered several things I’d forgotten, including these things I made in some bead jewellry making classes I took here 12 or 13 years ago. There are a couple of revolting brooches, too.<\/p>\n\n\n

Finished and wearable, I don’t remember who I had in mind when I made it – but I might wear it some time myself now.<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

The gold one isn’t finished, although in the bag are a few of the necessary findings to finish it off…. <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

It is interesting, but not ‘me’, and might dismantle it and use the beads for something goldish some time… and what on earth was I planning for the little construction beside it – tie it on to something to wear as an amulet, or something? I don’t seem to have any notes or charts from tha class, and don’t remember who taught it, so this is a dead end. I am taking bids if you can’t bear to think of me pulling it to bits!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
