MT/GF/HS Bulletin Cover

Cover artwork with bottom corner blank - for Ann to add Worship dates/times
and page numbers for each, plus page number for credits.


MT/GF/HS Bulletin Cover

A couple options for the MT/GF/HS bulletin cover.
The first one is using our Lent theme as the title "Down to Earth".
Since we will have a cross of dirt/earth on the floor, it seemed fitting.


Ann had given me an example from a previous year to follow
and wasn't sure if the title "The Holy Three Days" was from the "Days of the Week" theme
from a couple years ago.

Good Friday Rose Shroud

This is the design for the Good Friday shroud Phyllis will be sewing to cover the center of the earthen cross.  The image is misleading because the entire piece will be different blacks on black.  (Rick, you could wear this!)  I made some areas gray so you could perceive detail.  The red roses will be attached to a rigid piece of black foam in the center area marked on the drawing by a black cross.  This piece will be detachable so the shroud can be used again for other purposes.

The linework and smaller oranmental crosses are satin stitch.  The central square and corner squares are appliqued black brocade with satin stitching on top.

Ash Wednesday Banners - Dust & Ashes

The Ash Wednesday Banners were installed in the Sanctuary last night.
They are just simple, thin black hanging fabric pieces with overlays that say "Dust & Ashes".


Black pepper was used to create the subtle dusty-ashy words on the overlays.

Idea for transition to Reaching Wide

Here is a wonderful example of paper cutting used on a large scale by an artist in the National Cathedral. Looking at Kari's design for the Lenten words growing deep as roots,  reaching wide needs to go up as in the sprouting plant.  First we thought of a beanstalk sort of plant that would rise from the earth (with the aid of our pulley crank tenchology)  This could get cheesy especialy if it has springing branches as it moves upward.  Worse yet, would be a jump-up rapture jack-in -the box effect with a plant spewing compost all over the chancel.  Inspired by the verticality of the lenten "root"letters and combining it with a conceptual plant cut ou or stenciled isimilar in feel to the images above, I could see a coated fabric banner hidden beneath the soil until the proper time when it would break forth and rise.  Becasue it is fabric or fabirc-like it would hang in a simple flat plane when risen.  We could actually cut out the growing vining plant or screen print the images on finer fabric which would unfurl without any help or contrivance.  It would continue to gently undulate in its hanging position under the sun.  Visually this woul be a nice transition from Lent to Easter.
