New Work: Occur, Tempo. Cause, and Many More

Occur, Tempo, Cause, and Many More

mixed media on fabric

28.5" x 30.5"

The circles and dots (not the letters) in each square are from the results of my finished Wordle puzzles from various dates between October 20, 2023-January 9, 2024* They are handstamped on an upcycled antique appliquéd tablecloth that inspired me by its Wordle-like colors. 

I monoprinted a gridded construction fence pattern on the back side of the fabric knowing that the grey paint from the grid will soak through to the front. I purposely wanted an unevenly colored grid.

* The actual dates are: October 20, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 32, November, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, December 24, 2023 and January 9, 2024.

More work in Progress: Dates in a Life Walking Project 2024

I love September in New England! The weather is wonderful, especially for walking! I was able to walk 10,000 or more steps on eight days (see the red icons) though I wish I had been able to walk that much on more days. The gold highlight color shows the seven days I walked 4000 steps or less, which is a disappointment. My goal is to walk close to or more than 10,000 day. 

The picture above is of September, and the picture below is January through September, with room at the bottom for the rest of the year.

New Work in Progress

Starting another Wordle themed mixed media painting using an upcycled table cloth that I monoprinted the grid of a construction fence on. I never knew how the fabric paint will soak through to the other side of the fabric and this one was a happy surprise this morning after it was dry.

New Work in Progress: Wordle Patterns

 

I had a good weekend doing a bunch of things including working on the big Wordle themed painting on the right. The top two paintings on the left are abstractions of four Wordle puzzles (on each of them) and are not yet finished. The bottom two on the left are abstractions of two puzzles (each) and are finished. More to come soon.

New Work in Progress: Wordle Patterns

 

Saturday morning I was able to do more handstamping on my new big Wordle puzzles painting on an upcycled antique appliquéd tablecloth. All eight sections are filled in in each square, big dot by big dot, representing a collection of completed Wordles between October 20, 2023-January 9, 2024. In the middle are squares of Wordles little dot by little dot. The blue tape in the center is where I will put the results of my son’s Hungarian Wordle that has different colors. 

Now the paint is drying and I’ll do more soon.

New Work in Progress: Wordle Patterns

 

Friday night I dreamt about working on my new big Wordle painting on an upcycled antique appliquéd tablecloth. After my work day ended, I started stamping the first of the patterns of the results of my 260+ Wordle puzzles in each square, big dot by big dot. In the middle are squares of Wordles dot by dot. The blue tape in the center is where I will put the results of my son’s Hungarian Wordle that has different colors.

August started out hot, but by mid-month it was just glorious, with warm temps during the day and cool at night. Despite the better weather, I still didn't walk the high number of steps I prefer to walk each day. I only walked 10,000 or more steps on only two days (see the red icons).

The gold highlight color is on days I walked 4000 steps or less. My goal is to walk close to or more than 10,000 day.
