<p>Tulips II</p>
<p>Acrylic painting on fiberboard</p>
<p>100 x 50 cm</p>
<p>October 8, 2011</p>
<p>It is my 2nd painting this year and it looks different from the  last one. I decided to leave the contour lines and paint them with some more black. The brush strokes are smoother than my first tulips. I also thought I would try plain background, since I think it looks more artificial and 2dimensional.</p>

Acrylic painting on fiberboard<br />
70 x 100cm<br />
2011</p>
<p><em>(For larger view, click on the photo.)</em></p>
<p>For me, a flower is the  face of a plant and this painting is like another portraiture.</p>
<p>I always liked flowers because of their colors. I especially like them when they are fully bloomed or when they are starting to wilt, when the petals start to curl out.</p>

<p><em><br />
</em></p>
<p><em>updated March 10, 2011: The Golden Cirle is disqualified from the competition (I posted this blog which is considered as publicly exhibiting the work prior to the contest proper.)</em></p>
<p><em>Der Goldene Kreis ist vom Wettbewerb ausgeschlossen (ich habe in diesem Blog darüber berichtet,und galt als Veröffentlichung eines Werkes vor dem Wettbewerb .)</em></p>
<p><strong>The Golden Circle <em>(Der Goldene Kreis)</em></strong></p>
<p>Started: February 2, 2011</p>
<p>Finished: March 2, 2011</p>
<p>Number of Hours: 128 hours <em>(128 Stunde)</em></p>
<p>Techniques: Tambourwork, Cutwork, Bead embroidery</p>
<p>Materials: Black Silk fabric, metallic threads, seed beads, sequins</p>
<p>Size: 39cm x 36cm</p>

<p>The theme for this year´s<a href="http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&amp;prev=_t&amp;hl=de&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;layout=2&amp;eotf=1&amp;sl=de&amp;tl=en&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.spitzengilde.de%2F" target="_blank"> German Lace Guild </a>competition is &#8220;The  Circle&#8221;. This 2011 the guild is celebrating its 25th year of existence.</p>
<p>I got inspired by how everything is connected and how we hurt  ourselves if we hurt everything else in nature, including our fellow  human beings. The intertwining of stylized acanthus plant in ornamental  designs reminds me of this complex network.</p>
<p><em>Das Thema des diesjährigen Wettbewerbs der </em><em><a href="http://www.spitzengilde.de/" target="_blank">Deutschen Spitzengilde e.V.</a> ist </em><em>&#8220;Der Kreis&#8221;. Die Spitzengilde feiert ihr 25. Jubiläum dieses Jahr.</em></p>
<p><em> Meine Inspiration ist die Wahrheit dass wir alle miteinander verbunden sind. Dass wir uns selbst schaden, wenn wir andere Lebewesen verletzten, einschließlich unserer Mitmenschen. Die Verflechtung von stilisierten Akanthus-Werk in ornamentalen Mustern erinnert mich an dieses komplexe Netzwerk.</em></p>

<p>And got featured in Country Bumpkin´s Inspiration magazine.</p>
<p><a href="http://worksofhands.wordpress.com/2010/07/29/inspirations-issue-67-features-worksofhands/"><img class="alignnone" title="http://worksofhands.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/inspirations-issue-67.jpg?w=221&#038;h=634&#038;h=274" src="http://worksofhands.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/inspirations-issue-67.jpg?w=221&#038;h=634&#038;h=274" alt="" width="221" height="274" /></a></p>
<p>I learned to do<a href="http://worksofhands.wordpress.com/2010/05/29/le-paix-boutis-quilt/" target="_blank"> boutis quilting</a>, <a href="http://worksofhands.wordpress.com/2010/05/06/pau-applique/" target="_blank">appliqué quilting</a>, <a href="http://worksofhands.wordpress.com/2010/04/02/red-cat-silk-embroidery/" target="_blank">silk thread painting</a>, stumpwork and tambourwork embroidery.

<p><a href="http://worksofhands.wordpress.com/2010/04/02/red-cat-silk-embroidery/"><img class="alignnone" title="http://worksofhands.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/red-cat-close-up-without-signature.jpg?w=306&#038;h=382&#038;h=229" src="http://worksofhands.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/red-cat-close-up-without-signature.jpg?w=306&#038;h=382&#038;h=229" alt="" width="306" height="229" /></a></p>
<p>I went to Florence, Italy and went needlework store-hopping.</p>
<p><a href="http://worksofhands.wordpress.com/2010/04/23/my-2010-florence-italy-vacation-needlework-shops-and-fabric-stores/"><img class="alignnone" title="http://worksofhands.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/agomano1.jpg?w=300&#038;h=225&#038;h=225" src="http://worksofhands.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/agomano1.jpg?w=300&#038;h=225&#038;h=225" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>I got to finish projects I started last 2009.</p>
<p><a href="http://worksofhands.wordpress.com/2010/01/21/svea-vanitas-bubbles-portrait/"><img class="alignnone" title="http://worksofhands.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/svea-jan-20-2010-after-27-hours-2.jpg?w=306&#038;h=382&#038;h=229" src="http://worksofhands.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/svea-jan-20-2010-after-27-hours-2.jpg?w=306&#038;h=382&#038;h=229" alt="" width="306" height="229" /></a></p>
<p>I joined <a href="http://worksofhands.wordpress.com/2010/02/11/more-trees-in-winter-exhibited-on-hand-embroidery-network-online-exhibit/" target="_blank">HEN´s online exhibition</a> but didn´t know what happened to the results, because the whole thing just disappeared from the cyberworld. lol.</p>

<p>I promised to keep on painting, but finished only 2 <a href="http://worksofhands.wordpress.com/2010/01/27/shalom/" target="_blank">watercolor paintings</a> in 2010.</p>
<p><a href="http://worksofhands.wordpress.com/2010/01/28/shanti/"><img class="alignnone" title="http://worksofhands.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/shanti-watercolor.jpg?w=222&#038;h=703&#038;h=306" src="http://worksofhands.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/shanti-watercolor.jpg?w=222&#038;h=703&#038;h=306" alt="" width="222" height="306" /></a></p>
<p>I also started a lot of new projects, but never got to finish them before the end of the year. Some of these might never be finished before I die and some of these might be finished this year.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Started: March 3, 2011</p>
<p>Finished: March 8, 2011</p>
<p>Number of Hours: 32 hours</p>
<p>Materials: Pineapple/Silk Natural Fabric, Black Mesh, Styro-foam, Cardboard, Beads, Metallic threads, Gold wire purls (smooth &amp; check), gold ribbon</p>
<p>Techniques: Tambourwork embroidery, Goldwork Embroidery, Box making, Bead Embroidery</p>
<p><a href="http://worksofhands.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/cv-ring-pillow.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2385" title="C&amp;V Ring Pillow " src="http://worksofhands.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/cv-ring-pillow.jpg?w=510&#038;h=382" alt="" width="510" height="382" /></a></p>
<p>This ring pillow is my gift to my friends and former housemates for their wedding. I have to finish the work in less than week and hope that the parcel will reach Manila at least a few days before the wedding day. Right after finishing the <a href="http://worksofhands.wordpress.com/2011/03/02/the-golden-circle-2/" target="_blank">Golden Circle,</a> I set up to work on this project.</p>
<p><em>Dieser Ring Kissen ist mein Geschenk an meine Freunde und ehemaligen Mitbewohner für ihre Hochzeit. Ich habe versucht, die Arbeit in weniger als eine Woche fertig zu sticken,  und hoffe, dass das Päckchen ein paar Tage vor dem Hochzeitstag in Manila ankommt. Nach Vollendung der &#8220;<a href="http://worksofhands.wordpress.com/2011/03/02/the-golden-circle-2/" target="_blank">Golden Circle</a>&#8220;, habe ich an diesem Projekt gleich gearbeitet.</em></p>
<p><a href="http://worksofhands.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/cv-ringpillow.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2389" title="C&amp;V Ring Pillow" src="http://worksofhands.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/cv-ringpillow.jpg?w=510&#038;h=382" alt="" width="510" height="382" /></a></p>
<p>I researched online on ring pillows, and decided to create something unique. I once saw online a picture of a royal ceremony, where the &#8220;necklace&#8221; or &#8220;crown&#8221; was presented on a box like cushion, embroidered with gold. So I thought why not make a ring cushion box instead of a traditional pillow.</p>
<p>Since I am starting to appreciate the ornamental aspect of decorative arts, I combined ornamental elements and chose the monograms as the center focus of the design.</p>
<p><em>Ich habe nach Ring Kissen recherchiert und beschlossen, dass ich eigentlich etwas Einzigartiges schaffen</em><em> will</em><em>. Einmal sah ich online ein Bild von einer königlichen Zeremonie, wo die &#8220;Kette&#8221; oder &#8220;Krone&#8221; auf einer mit Stoff bezogene Kiste  präsentiert wurde, mit Goldstickerei</em><em></em><em>. Also dachte ich, warum eigentlich nicht, einen Ring Kissen machen, der wie eine Kiste aussieht, anstelle eines herkömmlichen Kissen.</em></p>
<p><em> Da ich  anfange, die Kunstgewerbe zu schätzen, habe ich Elementen aus der Ornamentik kombiniert und wählte die Monogramme als zentrales Thema.</em></p>
<p><a href="http://worksofhands.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/cv-ring-pillow-top.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2386" title="C&amp;V Ring Pillow Top" src="http://worksofhands.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/cv-ring-pillow-top.jpg?w=510&#038;h=382" alt="" width="510" height="382" /></a></p>
<p>Though I can´t be with them on their wedding day, I wish &#8220;C&#8221; and &#8220;V&#8221; more happy years together!</p>
<p><em>Obwohl ich bei ihnen </em><em>am Tag ihrer Hochzeit </em><em>nicht </em><em>sein können , wünsche ich &#8220;C&#8221;und &#8220;V&#8221; noch viele glückliche Jahre zusammen!</em></p>

<p>These are six potpourri sachets and pouches and one doily from Janice Love´s <a href="http://worksofhandslibrary.wordpress.com/2010/01/20/basics-and-beyond-by-janice-love/" target="_blank">&#8220;Basics and Beyond.&#8221;</a> This was the first book I had on hardanger embroidery. If you want to make them yourself, you can still find OOP copies of the book online.</p>

<p>I believe the potpourri oils would stain the white laces so for the purpose of adding shape to the articles, I stuffed them with fiberfill.  I also added little white flat sequins and seed beads.</p>
<p><em>Ich glaube, die </em><em>Potpourri</em><em>-öle  würden die Spitze beflecken. Um  Form zu geben,  habe ich die Taschen mit Füllwatte gefüllt. Ich habe auch einige mit kleinen weißen  Pailletten und Rocailles ergänzt.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This pretty fabric box was finished on January 29, 2009, when I was learning how to do hardanger lace embroidery.</p>
<p>Materials: navy blue ribbed moire tafetta fabric, rayon cord, sequins, seed beads, DMC perle coton, cardboard, batting/wadding foam, wool yarn, polyester thread for sewing, glue.</p>
<p>Size: 15 cm high, 12 1/2 cm square base, 35 cm wide when fully opened.</p>
<p>The project is from Janice Love´s book <a href="http://worksofhandslibrary.wordpress.com/2010/01/20/fundamentals-made-fancy-by-janice-love/" target="_blank">&#8220;Fundamentals made Fancy&#8221;</a>, the complimentary book to <a href="http://worksofhandslibrary.wordpress.com/2010/01/20/basics-and-beyond-by-janice-love/" target="_blank">&#8220;Basics and Beyond&#8221;</a>.  If you want to create one yourself, you can still find OOP copies of the books online.</p>
<p>The book suggests large pearl beads, but I used tiny white flat sequins and white seed beads.</p>
<p><em>Diese schöne Kiste wurde am 29. Januar 2009 beendet, als ich anfing zu lernen, wie man Hardanger Spitze stickt.</em></p>
<p><em> Material: marineblau gerippten Stoff Moire Taft, Rayon Kordel, Pailletten, Rocailles, DMC perle Baumwolle, Pappe, Watte / Watte Schaum, Wolle, Polyester Faden zum Nähen, Klebestoff.</em></p>
<p><em> Größe: 15 cm hoch, 12 1 / 2 cm quadratische Grundfläche, 35 cm breit, wenn geöffnet.</em></p>
<p><em> Wert: 200 €</em></p>
<p><em> Das Projekt ist aus Janice Love&#8217;s Buch <a href="http://worksofhandslibrary.wordpress.com/2010/01/20/fundamentals-made-fancy-by-janice-love/" target="_blank">&#8220;Fundamentals made Fancy&#8221;</a>, das  das Buch <a href="http://worksofhandslibrary.wordpress.com/2010/01/20/basics-and-beyond-by-janice-love/" target="_blank">&#8220;Basics and Beyond&#8221;</a> ergänzt. Wenn Sie selber eine erstellen möchten, können Sie immer noch rare/ vergriffene Kopien online finden.</em></p>
<p><em> Das Buch schlägt große Perlen vor, aber ich habe kleine weiße Pailletten und weißen Rocailles benutzt.</em></p>
<p><a href="http://worksofhands.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/3236888776_f1eb6f6bcf_b.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2244" title="3236888776_f1eb6f6bcf_b" src="http://worksofhands.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/3236888776_f1eb6f6bcf_b.jpg?w=510&#038;h=680" alt="" width="510" height="680" /></a></p>
<p>The needle box features 2 layers of  &#8220;petals&#8221;, with hardanger laces to  insert packs of needles into. In the middle is a cushion ball filled  with wool yarn.</p>
<p><em>Die Nadel-Box verfügt über 2 Schichten von &#8220;Blütenblätter&#8221;, mit Hardanger Spitzenbänder, in dem Nadelpäckchen eingefügt werden können. In der Mitte befindet sich ein Kissen gefüllt mit Wolle.</em></p>
