Letterhead & Business Cards

First Up- The Letter head, let me know your opinions


Secondly- Business Card Options, color wise, tell me your favorite



I'm working on the postcards and banner still... but between all that's gone on for me since the last meeting, and having the seemingly slowest computer on the planet this is as far as I could get this evening.
If you'd like to see any other colors or options for either the letterhead or business card just send me an email

Denver blog addendum

It is unsettling posting a work in progress, especially when it looks like some kind of blank Hallmark angel Christmas decoration, but you will have to trust my artsitic vision. My life coach and creative consultant, Kristi, thinks it looks creepy already, which is promising. She also amusingly re-enacted the conversation she believed I had with the Payless shoe store clerk when I bought shoes for a child I don't have. "It's for my sculpture of a little lost girl...who lives in the forest and has a heart for a compass!" HEE HEE HEE.

Once, in the center of a wild, tangled forest, the kind full of creatures with glittering eyes, there lived a girl with a compass for a heart.

She did not know how she had gotten there. Or where she had been before.

She lived in the trunk of a tree, and ate acorns and berries and grass, and braided flower stems into ropes.

She ran through the leaves that littered the ground, and her heart went in circles, from north to south to east to west, and then back again.

Rainy Days of Ripping Red

So it's raining tonite. Lots of rain. Seems like we keep getting rain. But with the rain comes time inside. Time inside is leading me to ripping the pile of red fabric I have into strips to start making some of the sections of my "Big Red Net of Life" or at least that is the working title.
So for said BRNoL I plan on taking the red strips of fabric, plastic, rope, yarn etc. and using it to make sections that will show the interconnections of our path through life and the places we go.
I also want to incorporate all the the knot tying techniques from various cultures that I've learned. Using them to represent the ways that we intermingle with the environment around us, and it becomes a part of us.
So with all that said, I guess I should get back to the pile of red fabric and scissors, right?

See all of you who can make it this weekend at The Grail for the next meeting!

Post For Corey

I've been thinking about 'compass' as scribing a circle or creating a boundary. I've been looping industrial felt strips to create spirals and circles. (They will eventually be sewn together but are pinned for the moment.) My idea is to arrange each individual circle into a larger giant circle. I'm excited to bring the work to the Grail and install it because my studio is too small to make the giant circle. Right now the piece looks more like one of those tire obstacle courses and I literally have to run through it to get from one end of my studio to the other. I'm still not sure where at the Grail the piece would fit best. I'm hoping for some thoughts and suggestions from all of you.

As a warm up to my studio practice, I've been making mandala drawings. I started doing this before joining One Stone, but thought there was a definate connection between the drawings and the compass project. I'm not planning on showing the drawings but thought you might enjoy seeing my train of thought.

Until next time,
Corey
