PARTICIPATORY SPORT FOR CRAFT ARTISTS
Pick Up Your Pencils, Begin by Harriete Estel Berman
This is the center Stanine at about 9', early summer 2010. At this point it is 12vfeet in height.
In this photo there was three more feet to go on this stanine. It takes about 15 minutes for each row of pencils.
So you can see this takes an enormous amount of time. So close to being done, yet still so far to go!
When the stanines are done, I need to work out the structural elements. I have the bottom and top figured out. I started working on them simultaneous with the pencils.
No wonder this has taken so long! I vacillate between exuberance and feeling overwhelmed at the effort and time involved.

The Justified Sinner commented on Poppy Porter's blog post Down to the Waterline – “Stain-Less” in Sheffield"Thanks for sharing that, Poppy! I hadn't quite appreciated the scale of your pieces! Did you get any photographs of Chris Boland's pieces, which I also love."
Poppy Porter commented on Vicky Saragouda's blog post Contemporary Jewellery @ COLLECT 2013"Was very disappointed not to make it this year! Fabulous pieces, particularly that headpiece."

They like their fountains in Sheffield. The first thing that greets you on leaving the railway station is a wonderful cascade of water. I walked across the city centre to my hotel and the peace gardens had fabulous fountains and children leaping around them, it seemed every courtyard was running water for the newly warming Springtime.…See More
