rough cut fabrics for Madrone 12

I got back from Costa Rica to find that I had missed a big deadline. I was supposed to have professional photos of finished work last month for PR and print for the show in March. Yikes! I have neither images nor finished work at this time.

So I sent off a mea culpa and am nose to the grindstone to get three pieces done ASAP. I should have them for my photographer by Monday or Tuesday and he’s willing to rush them through. So much for any residual relaxation from my trip.

I’m usually really good about deadlines, probably because of my background as a graphic designer, but for this current show I’ve really had my head in the sand. I think it’s because I’ve felt behind from the beginning and haven’t wanted to admit it to myself. However, pretending those deadlines don’t exist isn’t really a good plan. Hopefully, lesson learned on this one.

Good thing the work is going well. I’ve got some beautiful fabrics to work with and I think the designs are strong. Here are some photos of the stitched peltex forms before they get “skinned” with fabric.
