Late last week my calendar reminded me: I was scheduled to be a featured artist at a local church here in Redlands. Yikes, it had kinda slipped off the radar! I’ve got a big display cabinet, thankfully locked, to fill with all sorts of 3-d pieces: Of course, it was incredible hard to get good…
I just made a set of 3 mod house ornaments for a customer. She chose 3 of house shapes, and wanted my Jewel Tones palette. I was able to create a set of 3 for her that incorporates all the colors: I haven’t made any of these in awhile, but it still gives me a…
So, I made some of these cute trees to go with my mod house ornaments and didn’t blog about them! (If you look in these pix from my last big show, you can see them). Once local lady wanted to give a lucky couple in her family who love Mid-Century Modern one of my Krisel…
Whoa, nellie! I sorta dropped off the blog-o-sphere! Last minute art for my featured artist corner + last week of classes + holiday boutique show yesterday = NO TIME to BLOG! Here ‘s a few shots from my featured artist exhibit at the RAA. As you enter the front door of the gallery, the panel that greets…
This was the month to prep for my upcoming featured artist show at the Redlands Art Association December 4-27, and as I blogged yesterday, I had to install that show early (please note, this was only possible because a wee bit of emergency surgery for my little one cancelled our trip back east). It’s not at…
Today, I turn 45 years old. I do not feel 45 years old. While teaching yesterday, I spent a lot of time not using powerpoint and my computer’s screensaver is a slideshow of pictures from my Candied Fabrics pix. It would project a couple of pix before I’d go jiggle the mouse to turn it…
This final (for now) house shape I’m using in my mod house ornaments is called “Mies” after Ludwig Mies van der Rohe – apparently his friends and colleagues called him Mies, so I figured I’d do it too, so it looks like I’m “in the know” as it were! One house he’s famous for is…
I named this house after Donald Wexler, a mid-centurn modern architect based in Palm Springs. The more I research architects, the more new houses I want to make…sigh…
I’ve got another Ask Candy post up on Alamode stuff blog today – this one is about making photo collages! GO take a look! Although I’m not getting as much done for the show this weekend as I had hoped, I did get another set of mod houses built! I love these colors, they are…
This house is inspired by the work of Saul Zaik, often called the “Dean of Portland Architects”.
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”.
