I'm going to do some "recycling" this month and use a piece I made last year for another challenge.
My Monday Night group was challenged to do something with circles, and after a few false tries, I decided on Cloned Embryonic Stem Cells.
It was my first experience using Angelina, and that was fun. I also put in hundreds of strands of yellow silk thread, and finished it with a few pearl beads.
I know virtually nothing about microbiology, but I worked from photographs and used my imagination.
Many years ago, I saw a show of photographs by Roman Vishniac, at the Jewish Museum in New York. The images are amazing, and some are what I call "quilts waiting to happen."
Many are shown in his book, Building Blocks of Life; Proteins, Vitamins, and Hormones: Seen Through the Microscope, by Roman Vishniac.

Hi Marilyn,
ReplyDeleteThis piece fits our challenge well, I have seen several slides of stem cells, and this looks just like them. Good use of the angelina fibers.
This is cool!! I saw some photos just like this when I was doing some research. Very effective and surely suits the challenge to a 'T'...[not necessarily cell].
ReplyDeleteMarilyn - Good job! Very interesting and unexpected. Love your use of Angelina fiber and other threads. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love the Angelina plus thread effect Marilyn. Really adds interest and dimendion to your cells.

I really like the use of the angelina fiber. It is one of those "why didn't I think of that" moments.

Lots of fun materials for this one - I'd only suggest adding a third cell.
ReplyDeleteNIce work love the angelina my first thought is back ground is very dark, but then after a moment I think it adds strikingness to the piece
