Well, I finished off a lot of little things in the past couple of days. I didn’t get everything made on my list, but I did get lots done. Here are some quick snaps of what got finished in the past 3 days, so I have a record of what I did, as hopefully a…
Well my goodness! I’m beginning my 6th year of business! My very first art show was Red Dirt Art Festival in April of 2007. This Saturday, April 28, is Red Dirt 2012, so I’m officially beginning year number 6 this weekend! Here’s a shot of my setup at my very first Red Dirt: And here’s a shot…
Another project I finished last week was something else I wanted to make last Christmas! I love simple glass spherical ornaments, and have always wanted to create a curtain-like display of them hanging straight down in front of a window or my fireplace, completely impractical in a house with kids and dogs. So here’s my solution:…
I did a quick custom dye last weekend for a blog reader who realized that silk scarves dyed in her wedding palette of purples and grays would be a perfect gift for her bridesmaids! So I added the purple of Wisteria and Black Orchid to the lavender and grey from Moonlit Moth, and dyed the scarves in two different directions, and…
We had our first paella party of the season last Saturday night! I blogged about how it’s made last year, but essentially, it involves sitting around with some good friends, drinking sangria and eating tapas, while hubby cooks on a big paella burner out on the patio. It was great fun, and a wonderful way…
I’ve had a vision of combining my individual 3-d houses into a long row. Forever. Truly, from all the way back I started working on my houses, which I see from the blog (see how useful a blog is) was in February of 2009! It took a proposal deadline (and some star alignments) to get…
I gave my last final exam yesterday (not graded yet…) and now I’ve got a little break before my MayTerm class, and I’ve got a LOT of stuff to make! I had another rush custom order for some scarves come in, gotta get those turned around pronto, they’re needed for a wedding next weekend. Quilting…
My first commission for a custom group of silk scarves was for the “Madrigals” choir at the University of Redlands 5 years ago: I was contacted by a women’s choir from Northern California a few months ago, they commissioned a set of scarves in purple and a yellow green. I dyed the first trial over the…
I’ve been working hard on a new type of 3-D house. Here’s what I’ve got so far: Do you want to know what they’re going to be??? Stay tuned!
Here in Southern Califoria, we don’t get a lot of rain. When we do, I love to revel in the coziness of it all! I don’t have much planned for the weekend, except for working on my list, so I’m going to stay sequestered in my studio and get my making on, and hope that…
My name is Candy Glendening,and I’m addicted to color! I dye fabric so I can have just the hue & texture I want, and then use it to make art quilts and “everyday art”.
