Test Pilot

I am one of a lucky group of artists being a "test pilot" for Susie Monday's upcoming Text on the Surface on-line class. Just like future students, we're working through a series of weekly assignments and exercises to discover different ways to incorporate text in our artwork .

One of the things we're doing this week -- our first week-- is focusing our attention on different styles of text. I had letters and fonts buzzing about in my head as I worked this morning. And so, instead of using my drop-cloth to wipe up the mess, I decided to stencil letters on it with the left-over paint. Look what I ended up with! Isn't it cool? I really love this detour! This is definitely going from my drop-cloth pile to my painted fabric bin.


I'll keep you posted on the all exciting things I learn and make; it looks like it's going to be a great class!

Colors and letter forms flying everywhere...doesn't get any better than that to me! (I'm a type freak, and have even designed a couple fonts). Sounds like a great class.

This class look like a good fit for you. What a fun piece.
Your pictures from CA are scrumptious, especially the one where you captured the wave!

Hey Vivian! Good on you and this is a great little piece. I am fond of 'letters' on art work.

That class looked really interesting. By teh time I got to it though, it was filled (better in teh end as I've been very busy). I hope you get a lot out of it! Your play time inspired by teh class already looks like a lot of fun.
