21st Century Art
Posted on Mar 5, 2012 in Art, Blog | 10 comments
When I took my first drawing class in high school, we used paper and pencil. I remember the excitement I felt when we experimented with charcoal. I took another drawing class at university, but it was mostly because it was either study drawing or have to take an art history course, which sounded horrific. (The very idea gave me a shiver. History has always been my worst subject, probably because...

I don’t know what it is about us authors—we often get more excited about cover art than we do the words. Possibly it’s because once we have a book ready to publish, we have read those sixty-to-a-hundred-thousand words sixty to a hundred times. I like browsing book stores and judging books by their covers, I like squeeing over friends’ cover art, and I have discovered that I...

As I said earlier this week, I was contacted by an author about designing her cover art. Rae Davies had seen my work on my own books, and wondered if I ever did freelance work. Well, I only had once before (more details coming about that project next week), and with everything else going on, I wasn’t sure I had time, but darnit, I just couldn’t resist. I really do adore doing covers,...

This has been a real week of ups and downs with my writing. The wordcount on Wildings is going steadily up, and its taking shape, but my characters are giving me hell and even though the plot is outlined, I am not entirely certain how I’m going to get them there from here. I have added a page to the blog for My Fiction, where you can see what my current projects are and where I am. Will...
Read MoreTwisted Knit Increase
Posted on Mar 17, 2010 in Blog, Projects | 3 comments
I have figured something out while I’ve been designing knit patterns, but I don’t know what it’s called, or if it even already exists in the lexicon of knitting. I like a KFB increase, because it doesn’t leave a hole like M1, which seems to be what most people use. Also because I’m making toys, I use a smaller needle than is recommended for the yarn, so that makes...

My folks are here from the States, and we’re having a great time. It’s always nice to see them and mom’s cooking just seems to make everything better. I’ve been spending as much time with them as possible, hence the lack of posting this week! Meanwhile, I’ve been working on creating a little elf pattern for the past week, and so I had to come post now that he’s...
