Chain Link Fencing As Art by Soo Sunny Park American artist Soo Sunny Park took over Rice Gallery, part of Rice University in Houston, Texas, with a glistening, labor intensive, abstract installation called Unwoven Light. The suspended piece is made up of 37 individual units composed of chain link fencing that is arranged into a sculptural form that’s all about light. Watch the video: As you make your way around the space, the ever-changing rainbows of color bounce off each piece of iridescent Plexiglas that has been wired into the openings of the metal fence. From Park: “Like a net, the sculpture is a filter that is meant to capture the light that is already there and force it to reveal itself. Unwoven Light is on display at Rice Gallery through August 30th, 2013. All photos © Nash Baker.

There is such a loop included in the Colette Patterns Negroni Shirt. There are similar methods for making a length of tube to use for multiple buttons, however please note that this tutorial shows how I make a single flat loop for the specific purpose of replacing a buttonhole at the very top of a Convertible Collar shirt. ~Click Photos to enlarge...to return to blog, click your browser's Back Button~ To make a single button loop, first start by cutting a strip of fabric on the bias that is about 1" wide and about 3" long. Then as shown above, fold it in half width-wise (RIGHT SIDES TOGETHER) and "finger press" along the folded edge to make a center crease. Now at your machine, pull out a long length of both the bobbin and top thread. Fold the bias strip in half, enclosing the thread tails as shown above. Labels: More Sewing Tutorials
Dale Chihuly Dale Chihuly is an American sculptor who does amazing and beautiful works in colored glass. His works range from small pieces to large scale installations, both outdoor and indoor, often accompanied by the striking effects of dramatic lighting. A large part of the appeal of his work, aside from the beautiful character of the material and the colors and patterns within it, is the inspiration he takes from natural forms. His graceful, fluid objects echo forms from plants, birds and even undersea life. Chihuly studied glass at the first program of its kind at the University of Wisconsin in the 1960′s. Chihuly’s work is in a number of museums, both small and large (I frequently get to see his installation at the Delaware Art Museum, above, second down) and has been the subject of numerous exhibitions, one of which is a major exhibition now running at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston: Chihuly: Through the Looking Glass, that is on view until August 2, 2011.

ceramics With an adept understanding of ceramics and anatomy, Hong-Kong based artist Johnson Tsang (previously here and here) creates strange and unexpected anthropomorphic sculptures where human forms seem to splash effortlessly through functional objects like bowls, plates, and cups. While the works shown here are mostly innocent and comical in nature the artist is unafraid of veering into more macabre subject matter in other artworks that grapple with war and violence. Tsang recently opened a solo show, Living Clay, at the Yingge Ceramics Museum in Taiwan that runs through January 19, 2014.
