text-align: left;"&gt;The theme for the Ecumenical Lenten services this year is feasting and fasting. &amp;nbsp;Today the theme was the Great banquet or as it was called in Matthew 22 the parable of the wedding banquet. &amp;nbsp;The planners chose to use the theme all are invited. &amp;nbsp;I was asked to create an art project and I chose to do a banquet table. &amp;nbsp;I used a narrow card table and covered it with a patchwork table cloth in rainbow colors to signify inclusiveness. &amp;nbsp;I used two place settings and a center piece of a large gourd filled with dried plants and a cross made from dried &lt;a href="http://www.desertusa.com/mag99/may/papr/chollas.html"&gt;cholla&lt;/a&gt;. &amp;nbsp;I spray painted everything with gold. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;All of the dishes etc came from a thrift shop. &amp;nbsp;I even spray painted a couple of wooden chairs I got at the thrift store. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;I made up a little invitation to hand to everybody inviting them to the banquet. &amp;nbsp;I also included a little about the symbolisnm of the various items and colors. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;I worked many hours on the table cloth and I knew it would never be finished so I said I would use it just as it was on the day. &amp;nbsp;I was putting a border around it last evening when my sewing machine quit. &amp;nbsp;So I hand basted the edge and pinned it to the back side. &amp;nbsp;I felt like the people on Project Runway, sewing their models into their outfits just before runway time. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

While it was soaking I prepared my urea and salt chemical water. &amp;nbsp;I laid the fabric out on several different types of racks. &amp;nbsp;The article I read in Art Quilting stated that she used a piece of plexiglass and tilted it into a pan so that the fabric did not sit in the excess dye. &amp;nbsp;I used two small pieces of plexi tilted in my favorite pan (it is designed for fish cleaning and sold at sporting goods stores). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I also used a small baking rack over a dish pan and a shoe box sized plastic box. &amp;nbsp;In the bottom of the plastic box I placed some bubble wrap with really large bubbles. &amp;nbsp;I also slanted this so the dye would run down. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I then put the wet fabric on the racks and covered &amp;nbsp;it with snow. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I mixed the dye two tables spoons to a half cup of chemical water. &amp;nbsp;Then poured it on over the snow. &amp;nbsp;I then covered it with plastic bags and left it overnight. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The next day I sprayed all of the fabric with warm water, wrung it out and hung it to dry. &amp;nbsp;I will wash it with synthrapol in a few days. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The first one is three pieces drying at the very beginning stage.  The other is tea bags on white (!) muslin, some how or other it looks pink. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The pink one in the middle of the 3 pieces is old magazine pages that I put under another project that I was spraying radiant rain on to.  I saved them and used them in this project.

The snow is almost all gone, still some in shaded places.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;9. Little bits of green are  showing in the grass and the garden.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;8.  Our next door neighbor whose yard is a terrible mess is getting ready to put in his usual fabulous vegetable garden.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;7. The neighbor behind us who tends his yard like a Japanese gardner got his lawn mower out today..... and he put his snow blower away.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;6.   Neighbor behind us's wife has clothes out on the line.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;5.  The pond at the farm is ice free.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;4.  The birds are singing cheerfully.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;3.  Dear husband is spending most days working at the farm.  (Clearing brush in the conservation easement.)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2.  Dear Daughter in Law, Guinevere, has new kids (baby goats)  arriving in her dairy herd.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1.  It is 71 degrees here today.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;After my show in September, I was invited to visit a high school sculpture class to show them how I work.  Now I am invited to give a workshop at the High school all conference Art Day i n mid April.  It is going to be called rcycled sculpture and jewelry.  I met with the teachers the other day for planning and I took a few very rough pieces that I propose for the students to make.  I will provide a variety of materials and they can make whatever they want.  The catch is that the length of the workshop is 45 minutes, so not much detailed art will be done.  &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I found those great reflective letters at the auction.  They are aluminum I think, very light weight and easily cut and punched.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div

type='text'>Auction</title><content type='html'>My husband woke me up yesterday by saying "Hurry, or we will miss all the good stuff."  Actually the great thing about auctions is you don't have to be early to get the good stuff like you do at a garage sale.  No matter when you get there, if there was any good stuff  you still have a chance to get it.  &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Yesterday the auction was indoors, good thing since it was miserably cold and windy outdoors.  There was a big crowd when we got there, people from all walks of life looking for a bargain, or just a chance to get out and see something or somebody different.  February is like that in Iowa, we look for things to do just to get out of the house.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And, yes there was great stuff.  Or maybe it just depends on what you are looking for.  Great stuff is in the eye of the beholder.  I am always on the look out for small items for my found object jewelry and sculptures.  Hubby is in search of the perfect tool.  It is always fun to see how the sale unfolds.  We walk around and inspect tables laden with boxes of junk all jumbled together.  Sometimes these are estate sales and sometimes people are just decluttering.  You usually have to buy the whole box so you get the junk along with your treasures.  Sometimes something that you think is junk will go for lots of money.  And sometimes just the opposite.  There were several lots of buttons and they all went for over $10.  On the other hand, after waiting until 3 in the afternoon I grabbed a baggy of silver plated forks for $1.   In order to get the buttons I got a box of crochet cotton thread and some wool.  Now I have to figure out what to do with this thread, since I don't crochet.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

I have several blogs most of which are fairly neglected.  I started this one last year for my Bricolage show.  I also have another blog &lt;a href="http://omashauntedhouse.blogspot.com"&gt;Evolutions and Transformations&lt;/a&gt;.  I was going to make that my primary blog until I realized that I have linked this one to the Natural Evolution Collaboration.  So I have renamed this one and this will be blog #one.  &lt;div&gt;I have been reading some amazing blogs and I have resolved to do what I can to upgrade mine and make it fun and interesting.....as well as up to date.  Blogger is much more user friendly than when I started.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6429457129385686073-4200372453248360965?l=bricolagerrr.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bricolagerrr.blogspot.com/feeds/4200372453248360965/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6429457129385686073&amp;postID=4200372453248360965' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6429457129385686073/posts/default/4200372453248360965'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6429457129385686073/posts/default/4200372453248360965'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bricolagerrr.blogspot.com/2009/02/evolve-and-resolve.html' title='Evolve and Resolve'/><author><name>Susan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11925957603787963126</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_x-V_U1KFWF0/S9BlGzUrcOI/AAAAAAAAAa8/MMT00lexB0w/S220/shoeship+better+plus.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_x-V_U1KFWF0/SZ9U4IbfZyI/AAAAAAAAAH0/PNtK9z6kj4k/s72-c/inklin+2+20.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429457129385686073.post-670982011700162226</id><published>2009-02-14T16:25:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-15T16:23:00.522-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Altered Page: Natural Evolution</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://thealteredpage.blogspot.com/2009/01/natural-evolution.html"&gt;The Altered Page: Natural Evolution&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Seth at The Altered page has a winter project of placing bundles of paper in the outdoors to observe the natural evolution.  He invited others to particpate with their own projects.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I put my project outside today.  Using my theme of Bricolage, I just gathered up some stuff I have around the studio.  I did some magazine pages, some paper towels, some coffee filters and tea bags and a book.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I wrapped the bundles in different kinds of wire.  The book I splashed some paint on and then wrapped it in aluminum mesh.  I hung my bundles on a tree branch sculpture that I made in front of my house.  I can watch the fun out my front window.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6429457129385686073-670982011700162226?l=bricolagerrr.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bricolagerrr.blogspot.com/feeds/670982011700162226/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6429457129385686073&amp;postID=670982011700162226' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6429457129385686073/posts/default/670982011700162226'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6429457129385686073/posts/default/670982011700162226'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bricolagerrr.blogspot.com/2009/02/altered-page-natural-evolution.html' title='The Altered Page: Natural Evolution'/><author><name>Susan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11925957603787963126</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_x-V_U1KFWF0/S9BlGzUrcOI/AAAAAAAAAa8/MMT00lexB0w/S220/shoeship+better+plus.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429457129385686073.post-1708294231882118970</id><published>2009-02-14T16:16:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-14T16:16:40.525-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Paper towels and old painted magazine pages</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px;
