Claudine Hellmuth

Ms. Hellmuth, collage artist extraordinaire, has discovered a new way to do image transfers. Check out her blog! I guess I'll have to buy some of her sticky-back canvas. I'm almost out of her matte multi-medium (love it!), so I could make it a twofer. :)

Another Version

Here is another version of Stéphane Lambiel's Otoño Porteño program.

While there are a couple of mistakes, I like this performance. The audience here is much more subdued than in the Festa on Ice video. Even with the mistakes, this performance is precise and dramatic, whereas Stéphane's Festa version is skated with abandon. I like both versions, but I hope that his Olympic performance is much more like Festa on ice--near perfection with the audience (and judges) in thrall to his every move.
