Progress as promised. Now I am stitching the frets and have more to add, I don't know the names of all the parts. But there will be more.....stay tuned!
One of the things I see happening to me as I am learning art quilting is I "see" the world a little differently. My camera is going to be very important to my creative development. Often now while I am walking in the woods or through some other serandipity, I find something that literally or figuratively suggests a quilt. That is what happened the other day. I was getting in my car in a parking lot and heard an awful squawking and looked around to see this little bird on the side of the parking lot looking at me and giving me the what for! I could almost imagine her little wings on her hips! I realized she either had babies or eggs nearby and so I stood and talked to her for a minute all the while scanning the side of the parking lot. I could not see any babies or eggs. While I talked to her, she didn't move a muscle, but as soon as I turned to enter my car, she hopped back on her eggs. She blended so well that it took a couple of minutes to find her. I got out of the car...
The Connecting Threads show put on by the Contemporary Quilt and Fiber Artists art quilting and fiber art group that I belong to has come to a close. The show at the Women's Art Barn in Mariemont, OH was a huge hit! It was very well attended and 8 art quilters sold work in the show! That is always a thrill when someone else loves your vision enough to take your work home to enjoy every day! The hanging committee put the show together in a thoughtful way that caused my eyes to flow from piece to piece until I had seen the entire show! That takes a considerable amount of talent in itself! Here is my coiled piece, Desert Sun on a stand in the show, part of the flow!
I'm excited to announce that I have been accepted as an artist in the gift shop at Bay Arts in Bay Village, Ohio, near Cleveland. It is a beautiful complex that includes an Art Gallery, restaurant, and Gift Shop and is in a lovely area. I will have the Journey Guides for sale in the gift shop. I hope you will look up Bay Arts if you are in the Cleveland area. The Gallery space hosts regular events and is an open and inviting space. You will feel when you walk on the campus that you are entering someplace special. It is a delightful and fun space to walk around in. In the summer there are concerts and farmer's markets to enjoy. They feature many art classes. I couldn't be more thrilled to have my work in the Gift Shop at Bay Arts. Please go to their website to learn more about this wonderful art space: www.bayarts.net
