From sherill at sagworks.com Fri Dec 5 00:16:20 2008 From: sherill at sagworks.com (Sherill Anne Gross) Date: Fri, 5 Dec 2008 00:16:20 -0500 Subject: [Sagworks-art] sagworks blog - November/December 2008 update Message-ID: <6065035B-9BA3-40D6-9512-022595CE3986@sagworks.com> Happy Holidays!! I wish everyone the best this season. I wanted to do something special for everyone on my mailing list so I created a set of print and fold cards - there is a Hanukkah card, a Christmas card, and a Happy Holidays card. I even included an envelope template for you to make a custom envelope for your special cards. Download your own --News? I have spent most of the past 2 months working on my largest and most complicated piece to date. My pinup is quite close to being completed and has over 4,000 pieces of paper in place so far. This work has taken quite a bit of planning and lots of cutting. There is intricate lace and even a shag carpet - all made of paper. The final work should roughly be 25 " x 25" (unframed). You can check the status of the piece on the blog. There are many entries documenting the progress. You can also check out a six minute video on YouTube of me working on a small section of the carpet. This is a good way to see how the work is being created. If interested in seeing this piece being created in person, I will be having an Open Studio this weekend as part of the Greenbelt Festival of Lights. The Festival of Lights includes an art and craft show Saturday and Sunday, December 6-7. On Friday December 5 the lanterns made last month with the community will be lit as part of the annual tree lighting ceremony. (more info) --Recent artworks?
