road trip inspired apparel
Recently I took a wonderful road trip to Boise Idaho to visit family there. Drove through the Columbia River Gorge on the Oregon side… saw waterfalls on the way to Idaho, saw the sunlight on the Boise foothills, then on the way home – again through the Columbia River Gorge – there was a spectacular sunset,…

a fish story progressing dangerously
As I’ve been sharing on my blog today – www.sueclancy.com – I’m working on a pop-up book titled “A Fish Story”. In the photos below I’m living dangerously; I’m taking my now-dry pages and binding them carefully so that the parts that make the movable pop-up parts will be hidden – but will still allow…

more fish story progress
As I posted to my http://www.sueclancy.com blog a bit ago I’m working on a pop-up book titled “A Fish Story”. Here is another photo of some freshly made (caught?) page spreads; the page at the top has a fishing line that moves, the page at the bottom has a fish that moves. In the photo…

For several months now I’ve been working on a pop-up artist book titled “A Fish Story”. Here are a few pages with freshly glued down cut paper shapes. In the photo I’m checking to see if the pop-up movable parts still move. The page spread at the top of the photo has an actual fishing-line…

Like the first piece in my new series of 3 artworks, my second piece has also been inspired by dots, evening book reading, chihuahua’s and the colors I’ve seen in my local landscape. My newest piece is titled “The Read Wagon”. It, too, is made with my hand dyed, handmade papers, hand stenciled papers, found…

chihuahua book balloon
I’ve been thinking of dot patterns, dogs, books and how I enjoy wearing my pajamas and reading before bed in the evening. I’ve been thinking of how books sometimes seem to appear in our lives as if dropped from the sky – and how we release them back when we’re done reading them. Oh, and…

chihuahua sketchbook pages
I’ve been thinking about dot patterns and I’ve been seeing lots of cute chihuahua dogs when I’ve gone out for walks – so I’ve been thinking of chihuahua’s. I’ve also been thinking about books, writers, the alphabet… Here are some doodles that I did while thinking the above mentioned thoughts. (see this blog post for…

new papers for art
Been busy making new handmade papers for some new fine artwork. Here’s a photo of them and the stencil’s (lower left corner of the photo) that I used to make the patterns on my hand dyed papers. Sharp eyes will probably recognize the inspiration source (see this post http://atomic-temporary-81644525.wpcomstaging.com/2016/03/29/garden-of-ideas/) for a few of the patterns.…
