The venue Echo Country Outpost was the perfect place to show such an eclectic collection. Three bands played live music till about 11:30 and they brought in very mellow, appreciative crowds that responded well to the art. I saw a few of the participating artists, Luka Fisher, Anguiano Art and Girl With A Hook. The biggest surprise of the evening was seeing Tangled Threads! It just happened to be my birthday and I couldn't have asked for a better day.<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ZvEDND68zOE/UmLCTIt4R9I/AAAAAAAAIOk/4WlIm4ZWsxk/s640/blogger-image--1284393309.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ZvEDND68zOE/UmLCTIt4R9I/AAAAAAAAIOk/4WlIm4ZWsxk/s640/blogger-image--1284393309.jpg"></a></div></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-xnYKBgkIZjg/UmLCL6UCCbI/AAAAAAAAIOU/S5MMes3FvWM/s640/blogger-image-1802663230.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-xnYKBgkIZjg/UmLCL6UCCbI/AAAAAAAAIOU/S5MMes3FvWM/s640/blogger-image-1802663230.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div>I am slowly updating my Etsy Store to reflect my new work as well as updated photos of my past work.

I spent a good part of the night updating my website. I eventually want to get a full portfolio of all my work on there. Phew. There is still a long way to go...<br />
<br />
But I did manage to begin my own store on my website. If you are interested in purchasing art, I finally have a place to sell it. My Etsy store will stay up but only for jewelry, fashion and steampunk items. From now on fine art such as journals, paintings, and mixed media art pieces will be for sale on my website.<br />
<br />
Email me if you have any questions about the changes. I will continue to upload fine art to my website as I find the time.<br />

Since then I have been concentrating all of my spare time and energy in designing and sewing two complete outfits by March. <br />
The first week I worked solely on Jarquin's stiltwalking outfit and so far I am very happy with the result. The pants, vest, cuffs and thigh pouch are complete. I just need to work on a few minor details and the mask. This outfit is black, white, silver and royal blue. I brought in the diamonds again in this outfit and even made a 3d diamond pouch! <br />
Jen's outfit is a little different. I am having "designers block" with it and just can't seem to move forward. It is very frustrating and making everything in my life a bit harder. I was able to move forward a little bit with Andrew's advice. He suggested I do what was designed and fun and stop messing with the frustrating stuff. That worked. I made an amazing bustle and then started in an underbust vest. The design keeps changing as I move forward in sewing, but that is part of how I work. I never stick to an original drawing, things evolve, ideas pop into my head and in the end I know the outfit will be great...I just have to get there. <br />
I have the final fitting on Thursday. Wish me luck! <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-_MSM2-ICfXI/USHs57g5qvI/AAAAAAAAHVQ/w_ETlZJ6UyE/s640/blogger-image--1750910094.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

It took a total of 25 hours to sketch, paint and draw this piece of art into existence. I am SO happy with the outcome and very proud of this accomplishment. Here are some photos of the details and finished product. I will upload a proper image of this painting on deviant art tomorrow. If you want to see it in person, come to the Folk Yard: Fashion art show in Portland on February 15th at 7 pm at Boothster. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-48sCzPdpG8s/UQtfJO8jKyI/AAAAAAAAHTw/5z_-ad7yj3U/s640/blogger-image--712648106.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-48sCzPdpG8s/UQtfJO8jKyI/AAAAAAAAHTw/5z_-ad7yj3U/s640/blogger-image--712648106.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-EXkdIknRKFw/UQtg5yUimnI/AAAAAAAAHU0/piJntJHCX24/s640/blogger-image-1812158249.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-EXkdIknRKFw/UQtg5yUimnI/AAAAAAAAHU0/piJntJHCX24/s640/blogger-image-1812158249.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-o79Ssb0gPjU/UQtgxHDArWI/AAAAAAAAHUc/uctRbnRPod8/s640/blogger-image-364021109.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-o79Ssb0gPjU/UQtgxHDArWI/AAAAAAAAHUc/uctRbnRPod8/s640/blogger-image-364021109.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-LuWj4-6qolo/UQtgt4mDQYI/AAAAAAAAHUU/Yc9XzLWjscc/s640/blogger-image--2050643098.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-LuWj4-6qolo/UQtgt4mDQYI/AAAAAAAAHUU/Yc9XzLWjscc/s640/blogger-image--2050643098.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-_wGD_0QFNoE/UQtg0AfEpII/AAAAAAAAHUk/9IOCYBwMGAc/s640/blogger-image--26581278.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-_wGD_0QFNoE/UQtg0AfEpII/AAAAAAAAHUk/9IOCYBwMGAc/s640/blogger-image--26581278.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-MU-AJ9ostq4/UQtgq6RsDHI/AAAAAAAAHUM/9t0yk1fL2aQ/s640/blogger-image-69188082.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-MU-AJ9ostq4/UQtgq6RsDHI/AAAAAAAAHUM/9t0yk1fL2aQ/s640/blogger-image-69188082.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-XcRpk2d4Drk/UQtg25YCK_I/AAAAAAAAHUs/8QazijZKR-E/s640/blogger-image--1882067502.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-XcRpk2d4Drk/UQtg25YCK_I/AAAAAAAAHUs/8QazijZKR-E/s640/blogger-image--1882067502.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Ze9gRdrSGhI/UQtgnnuNYiI/AAAAAAAAHUE/bRUroRs4qx8/s640/blogger-image--230261538.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Ze9gRdrSGhI/UQtgnnuNYiI/AAAAAAAAHUE/bRUroRs4qx8/s640/blogger-image--230261538.jpg" /></a></div>Autumn Steamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02326361975293959417noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963420743533127642.post-31508713977290712732013-01-30T16:47:00.001-08:002013-01-30T16:47:54.094-08:00Painting...12 hours and counting.I came up with an idea, scratched on a piece of paper with a fine tip sharpie, last weekend for a painting. I have been pinning images on an Idea board on Pinterest for months now and decided it was time to do something big. So last month I stretched a watercolor paper canvas on a home made wooden frame and just pulled it out to use. I have been saving it for something special. <br />
I started working on the canvas yesterday and have already put over 12 hours of work into it. This is one of the largest watercolor paintings I have done and I know I still have at least another 12 hours before it is finished. <br />
The subject is pretty dark and i am trying to think of a name for it. I will probably call it Famine or Plague, but we will see. I hope to show it at the Folk Yard show at Boothster in Portland on February 15th. <br />
<br />
Here are some photos of the progression of the painting. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-x_AxESc9O0g/UQm_AaukGxI/AAAAAAAAHSQ/aGmoUIDQ9js/s640/blogger-image-143111778.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-x_AxESc9O0g/UQm_AaukGxI/AAAAAAAAHSQ/aGmoUIDQ9js/s640/blogger-image-143111778.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-glvBjShkOrE/UQm_Nw7_ndI/AAAAAAAAHSw/xxPeZo09HIg/s640/blogger-image--512435767.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-glvBjShkOrE/UQm_Nw7_ndI/AAAAAAAAHSw/xxPeZo09HIg/s640/blogger-image--512435767.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-3DCXDEWjxGo/UQm-9Nim5-I/AAAAAAAAHSI/N0Q9VmAraXw/s640/blogger-image--1265755767.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-3DCXDEWjxGo/UQm-9Nim5-I/AAAAAAAAHSI/N0Q9VmAraXw/s640/blogger-image--1265755767.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-ET1GGhjTp8o/UQm_IaAiW0I/AAAAAAAAHSg/MaTy1Hee-Ug/s640/blogger-image-1586249113.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-ET1GGhjTp8o/UQm_IaAiW0I/AAAAAAAAHSg/MaTy1Hee-Ug/s640/blogger-image-1586249113.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-tUp9QlePUXA/UQm_EafvbFI/AAAAAAAAHSY/g9fZCjF-RGU/s640/blogger-image--1867603727.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-tUp9QlePUXA/UQm_EafvbFI/AAAAAAAAHSY/g9fZCjF-RGU/s640/blogger-image--1867603727.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-7mGYGdpvFi4/UQm_K9YAdSI/AAAAAAAAHSo/6WZPM7hTzWw/s640/blogger-image--1260754933.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-7mGYGdpvFi4/UQm_K9YAdSI/AAAAAAAAHSo/6WZPM7hTzWw/s640/blogger-image--1260754933.jpg" /></a></div>Autumn Steamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02326361975293959417noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963420743533127642.post-50855530628803054642013-01-26T13:13:00.001-08:002013-01-26T13:15:00.832-08:00IWTMYA Update!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I Want To Mail You Art Update:<br />
<br />
I am happy to say I have now received enough entries to publish my first I Want To Mail You Art book! 42 people have sent me their notes, thoughts, art, addresses and random findings and in return I have sent them all original pieces of art, plus a bonus Holiday gift to 26 of the first people to enter. I have been planning on making this project into a book and eventually an art instillation piece in a gallery. I have not found the gallery yet and am probably going to wait for 100 entries. I am working hard on the book now and will post the information here and on Facebook, Twitter and Tumbler.<br />
<br />
A big thanks to all that have already participated! This project is ongoing so please share the info with all of your friends.<br />

Here is some video of the art that was there. My instillation was "The Unfortunate Zookwash." It is a book that I created about the murder of a character.
I asked the public to solve the crime and write the ending. I will be publishing the book and all of the responses...stay tuned!<iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ozR5ruUQVQI" width="560"></iframe>Autumn Steamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02326361975293959417noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963420743533127642.post-62651349433247507532012-11-08T20:04:00.001-08:002012-11-08T20:04:31.237-08:00Clip of the Nautilus Journal! <div>

Since I sent him my envelope last week with a great little package from me, I have been really excited to see what I get back from him! So, I thought I would give it a try too. I am excited to show off my art and maybe get some new fans. It will also be exciting to get fun mail from people!<br />
<br />
You will receive one of the following: painting, collage, photography, Steampunk jewelry, mini journal, Steampunk magnet, art doll or anything I can create and stick in an envelope. It's a surprise!<br />
<br />
If you want to participate, please mail me a letter, card, something interesting or just your address to:<br />

The connections I make are solid and lasting. They feed my soul and the people I get to work with understand my need for collaboration, muse and then space. I am not that great at producing a custom order with strict parameters, instead I like an idea that is brought to me with the freedom to make it my own. This is exactly what happened on the photoshoot with Tangled Threads.<br />

<br />
First I just want to say the combination of two outstanding people such as Jarquin and Jen make an amazing connected team as Tangled Threads. Jarquin and I have been working with each other for over a year now. He continues to inspire me and create challenging work that makes me grow as an artist. You can see all of his adventures at <a href="http://www.thejarquin.com/">www.thejarquin.com</a>. I was just introduced to Jen only a week ago but already I feel a connection that I think will bring some amazing creativity and collaboration. She runs The People's Republic out of Portland, and according to their mission, I am fully supportive of what they are doing. Check them out at <a href="http://thepeoplespdx.com/">http://thepeoplespdx.com/</a> and get involved!<br />

Now on to the shoot. This was a couple weeks of planning, meeting and preparing for this to all come together. The Goal: To capture their 2 different looks for their new website <a href="http://www.thetangledthreads.org/">www.thetangledthreads.org</a> and give them options for print and posters.<br />
<br />
Here are some of the shots from the photoshoot. You can see more on my facebook page <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AutumnSteamArtist">https://www.facebook.com/AutumnSteamArtist</a> Please "like" and share...let the world know what we are doing!<br />

I finished Anguiano Art's Journal and case and gave it to him in person at our last Emerge Underground art show in Portland. It was great seeing his awe and appreciation and gaining a new friend out of our art trade. I know he loves the journal and will always treasure it! <br />

<br />
I also created a stunning journal for Dana McCarty, lead singer for Faerabella. Her journal is called "The Element of Music" and it will be a great song writer's journal. She is an amazing artist and the band has a dark cabaret jazz sound that will blow your mind. I hope to work on dressing the band this winter. I just can't work with fabric when it is 90 degrees outside.<br />

After my drawing class in May I have been spending a lot of free time painting and drawing. I am just honing my skills but the things I have created have blown my mind. I have uploaded the images to my Deviant Art site so you can view my new photography and painting portfolio. I have to upload hundreds of pictures still, but you can see what I have here : http://autumnsteam.deviantart.com/gallery/<br />

On a more personal note, my sweet great dane of 9 years died in my arms on July 29th. I am still grieving his loss and miss him every day.<br />

But on a sweet happy note, we have adopted a bouncing baby boy!!! We welcomed Juno into our lives just 2 days ago. He is a white German Shepherd and very sweet, cuddly and smart. I am looking forward to hours of fun playing fetch.<br />

This journal is going to be a steampunk sea and ship themed with splashes of maps, charts, illustrations and art pages. There will be plenty of blank paper as this is going to an amazing artist. I am planning on heading out to the shop right now to start on the cover. I will post pictures as I make this one.

Check out our new power supply we developed for <a href="http://www.electronbluemusic.com/" target="_blank">Electron Blue Music</a>! It is a steampunk power supply for your guitars! We love how this turned out with a brass top and wood sides. It is so beautiful and functional. Look for it in Electron Blue Music's online store.<br />

We are also working on a design for a guitar pedal...I will post pictures when there is something to show.<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-BbPUFOr6fpw/T257BXGwLAI/AAAAAAAAE7E/NTbJ6XeQEl4/s640/blogger-image-2032663244.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-BbPUFOr6fpw/T257BXGwLAI/AAAAAAAAE7E/NTbJ6XeQEl4/s640/blogger-image-2032663244.jpg" /></a></div>Autumn Steamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02326361975293959417noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963420743533127642.post-24932546127765097022012-03-19T23:38:00.003-07:002012-03-20T00:08:51.140-07:00Creating A Stilt Walker's OutfitWe did it!!!! We finished <a href="http://www.thejarquin.com">Jarquin</a>'s second outfit!<br /><br />Jarquin ordered this outfit last October but I just did not feel the inspiration until 2 weeks ago. I sat in bed and studied old wind-up dolls, other stilt walkers, and steampunk photos to get some inspiration. Then it hit me...the vision flashed before my eyes and I had to sketch. I sat up until 1 am sketching this design, I even picked off the wood to my colored pencils so I could color in just the right shade. --That reminds me I need to find my pencil sharpener!-- The design was so perfect- I didn't even approve it with Jarquin first -I just started creating. Andrew and I pulled all our motivation, time and babysitting favors we had to get this finished.<br /><br />A few days ago we made arrangements for Jarquin to stay with us to basically do a 20 hour fitting! We had an amazing time with such a talented, kind and extraordinary person. He gave us such support that it made us push a little harder to get this done. We fitted, sewed, tooled and painted till the wee hours before finally calling it a night.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MOUDMVPnjOM/T2gmbt-uc8I/AAAAAAAAE44/HgSSMJxVr9Q/s1600/1-IMG_1656-001.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MOUDMVPnjOM/T2gmbt-uc8I/AAAAAAAAE44/HgSSMJxVr9Q/s320/1-IMG_1656-001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5721865584215225282" border="0" /></a>The next day we had scheduled a day in Portland to be filmed in a Steampunk Documentary at our fellow Steampunker's house. We stopped at the Bomber Diner in Portland to grab a bite and meet the director. Jarquin and I were so excited to have the outfit that we decided to take advantage of the sun break and do a small photo shoot. Andrew went inside and ordered for us while I helped Jarqhin dress, do make up and snap a few photos. <br /><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QSDnK8O9AQ0/T2gmbGpd5FI/AAAAAAAAE4s/ZY28Ce9dnpE/s1600/1-IMG_1594-001.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QSDnK8O9AQ0/T2gmbGpd5FI/AAAAAAAAE4s/ZY28Ce9dnpE/s320/1-IMG_1594-001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5721865573657076818" border="0" /></a><br />Later, back at Mikel's house, Andrew, Mac and Mikel were discussing the new Boiler Plate construction while Jarquin and I waited on the sidelines. I finished wire wrapping the key sculpture and Jarquin read. No sooner did I finish the key --the final touch to complete the outfit-- then the producer, Byrd, ask Jarquin to dress for the camera.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PMMyFRVztBs/T2gma3uqIyI/AAAAAAAAE4g/3otcmYL8Zn8/s1600/1-IMG_1663-001.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PMMyFRVztBs/T2gma3uqIyI/AAAAAAAAE4g/3otcmYL8Zn8/s320/1-IMG_1663-001.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5721865569652319010" border="0" /></a><br /><a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-umD61MWZWEQ/T2gmcKwuPiI/AAAAAAAAE5A/GxwNgRM2p34/s1600/1-IMG_1575-001.jpg">I filmed the entire making of the outfit in stop motion and plan on having an art instillation of the video, Jarquin in his outfit and some of the photography I have of him, later this fall. I hope everyone will come see us!
