November 10, 11 and 12th back at it with Frog Hollow Art Show
I love 3 dimensional fiber art. Making birdies with various fabrics and using felt to back the feathers. It's a bit of a challenge to make them stand on legs/feet. Going to pop some into nests too. The standing ones are about 9" long x 5" high, the one in the nest is 9" long by about 3" high.
It's been a busy year, now taking some time to regroup my studio. It was looking and functioning hunky dory and then rug hooking supplies and weaving supplies were added.
I have an entire shelving unit filled with fringe blankets ready to become jackettes, and many quilts that will becoming coats. They will most likely debut in November at Frog Hollow Art Show.
A new skill: free motion handwriting with my sewing machine. I hope to integrate more of this going forward. I am a Baha'i and these are some words of wisdom from the Prophet and Founder of The Baha'i Faith, written in a book called The Hidden Words.

Today was my last day as guest artist at Collabery Art Gallery. What a beautiful space with lovely, talented interesting artists. Some pieces found new homes and I made some new friends. I hope to be invited back one day.
Next stop is our biannual Frog Hollow Art Show. The month of May will be spent making new wearable art clothes and other fiber pieces.
I'm really excited about rug hooking, most notable is the
Peace Chicken Collection
I keep jumping back and forth from sewing blog (here) and my art blog......everything overlaps! I am the guest artist for Collabery Art Gallery for April.
Thank you so much to all who visited the show at Triptych. It was nice to be in such a cozy venue with the fabulous Tina and Enid. Quite a few creations found new homes! I will be back there again.
