WIP Journal Pages for Swap

This is currently an 8″x16″ piece. I will be cutting it apart and adding words above the woman. The recipient requested:  “It could be an interpretation of the classical shape of a female body, it could be a collage of a vintage nude, a celebration of the way women dress. It’s about how wonderful women are….”  So this is what I came up with so far.

February ATCs & ACEOs

Of course it isn’t the end of the month yet, but this is what I have done so far. I will edit this post at the end of the month with any additional pieces I may do. (now updated – March 1, 2009)

These were made for a swap on ATCsforall.com in November 2008.

October ATCs & ACEOs

September ATCs & ACEOs

July & August are not represented because I was moving from one state to another and looking for a new job. BUT, I was back in full swing in September! Take a look:

First Place in the My World in Black & White show!

I was notified on October 9, 2008 that I placed FIRST in the “My World in Black and White” show hosted by the group Fiberarts Connection of Southern California. The show will be travelling to several venues over the next couple of years. My art quilt is available for sale at the venues it will be shown in. I will update this post when I have the list of venue sites and dates.

“Up Into The Brittle Cold” made September 2008 – hand dyed, hand painted, machine quilted – all by me. This piece is 31″x36″

Artist’s Statement – Trees have always been special to me. It doesn’t matter what the season is, whether the leaves are small pale green, large dark green, rusty orange and curling in the cooling winds or non-existant. There is something mystical about the winter tree though, the promise of what is to come. This piece shows the magnificence & stalwartness of weathering through the brittle cold, waiting for the soft warm spring to bring new life and hope for the future.

Non-Textile ATCs & ACEOs

I thought I would show some of my non-textile art to you all. In this group there are acrylic paintings, watercolor paintings, pen & ink wash, and prisma color pencil drawings.
