tarot astrology healing the earth family and friends visit my site www turtlemoon com study with me at my home studio or away see my pre blog turtle trax diary from august 1997 to july 2007 at http www turtlemoon com trax diary1 htm sunday september 2 2012 little drawings on paper i made in girona spain here are the nine little drawings i made when i was in girona spain in july i kept meaning to scan and put them here but got all caught up in making the big art quilt about girona which is now done it s called dragon sushi 9 of pyrex cups in the kitchen tarot and you can read my big statement about it in my website s 2012 gallery but there are no pictures of it there as i can t risk showing any in case they migrate to somewhere else on the internet and wreck my chances of having this work be accepted for quilt national 13 it is their rule and i can t see any way to control keeping my images only on my site so i m just not putting any up til it s safe i think that s what has made me so restless to get something else up about spain and thus now it s time to finally show these little 4 x 6 ink crayon and colored pencil drawings on paper we got to spain on july 3 but i didn t get around to drawing much til july 5 so i went back and worked on my first impression denise and me walking from the peninsular hotel to the palau across town starting with walking over the pont de pedra the stone bridge i threw in the cathedral since that had made a huge impression on me right away you can see it from everywhere in that part of the city on july 6 i made up my story of how the cathedral came to be there and why there s a sushi bar in girona having slewn the dragon st jordi then invented sushi had the cathedral built on the spot where the slaying happened and then they put the sushi bar across the river where you can sit and eat sushi and admire the cathedral the eiffel bridge is really a bit downstream from the sushi bar but i wanted to show it because it s my favorite bridge anywhere there were spanish and i guess catalan lessons going on for us with the girls from girona quilt art and olga told me to say vale instead of bueno marta explained that vale actually has three meanings that something is a bargain the actual object for bargains the coupon and the expression of vale vale or vale vale vale which means cool or ok or good i just now realize that i forgot to write vale vale vale somewhere on the big piece like where olga is or where the group of girona quilt art women are what can be done ratz i made the fish chick of girona to be the water goddess there i think it s really marta who lives with vlady in one of those lovely tall houses squished together right on the riverfront in my second version of the fish chick i gave her an aqua colored moped since she d be that cool and there are so many moped riding women in girona and i took a little license and put the cathedral across the eiffel bridge from the church of st feliu that is so silly really but it looks nice for balance here vale here i combined the girl giganto with la leona who is very close to the church of st feliu i stuck in the pont de eiffel again because i love it so much and you ll see it again right away in the next piece too this drawing is just about all the images i love best in girona here i m walking along looking up at girona s gigantos and near the boy giganto is la leona also i stuck in marta and vlady s two little cats sushi and maki and the eiffel bridge denise cut my hair on july 11 but after i numbered these i realized this was really 8 not 7 so it s a flaw but that s how it s staying i numbered them with ink so forget it olga gave me the spanish word peluquera for hair dresser and a beauty parlor is a peluqueria our hair chopping episodes took place in girona quilt art though and after my cliff olga got hers really really cut short by denise and marta butch cut it looks great too this adventure is from july 9 but i drew it on the 11th denise had been up to the cathedral and the old city wall last year but this was my first trip to girona so she took me on july 9 we met some really cool people but the coolest was perro lunar the guy really named marc pao who was playing a hang drum in a little stone alcove of the cathedral s outer wall we had never heard one of these before so i got really ambitious and made a little video the only one i made in spain then we walked up a lot more stone steps even though we d walked up tons of them just to get to the cathedral in the hot sun we walked on that ancient wall and the view was stunning looking down on the city and the river later we cooled off with gelato a home remedy for heat exhaustion we indulged in about 4 times during my stay there it works i didn t make a drawing about our trip to barcelona on july 10 on the train which was an adventure we had with carine and marcel from belgium but the last day we met alise and alpha she s from brazil and he s from cote d ivoire and there we were in her little wine store and restaurant discussing world politics and peace with them in spain it was a very magical experience as were most of the things that happened in girona i wish i could show you the art quilt coz it s full of stories and images of all the new friends i have there now i have tons of pictures actual photographs of my trip to girona on my facebook page so go see them if you haven t already spain part 1 and spain part 2 are albums i ve given links for here that will work even if you re not on facebook the first quilted piece i made about girona is called la leona and is a small piece that i started in the second class i taught at interquilt 2012 in july i have a facebook album about it that you can access even if you re not on facebook so you can see a bunch of in progress and detail shots and a photo of the actual leona statue this piece is 19 25 h x 21 5 w and is mainly about when irene showed me the leona in the first place on a lovely evening walk in girona that s it thanks lucky posted by susan shie at 7 06 pm 5 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest older posts home subscribe to posts
