Waiting for the Warmth

The first golden light of spring which awakens all the flowers is celebrated in this fascinating piece of fiber art. Hand painted canvas with collaged flowers added into the mix. Machine stitching creates a depth to this work of art.

What's Black and White and Brown all over...

These works were done with paper. Hey, that's fiber too! In a class called Collage Joy by Catherine Rains, our first assignment was to make  4 x 4 collages only sing neutrals. I love this palette and so enjoyed this. They are unified through size, color and circles. Keep watching because there is more to come.  

 

Catch a Glimpse

MIX is at it again. This time one of our inspirations is from a napkin , no less. Use the structure, use the colors, you decide just how you will be inspired.

Here is my work. I call it Catch a Glimpse...of the colors that is. I love the framing and have done a few other pieces in this way. It is a standout!

I love finding words of wisdom in magazines and old books.

It's fun to repurpose the pages.

Still practicing the art of collage.

 

The Art of Collage

Painting papers with multi colored layers. 

Using black and white for contrast. 

Building clusters for use as focal points.

Fiber in the MIX

MIX is my small quilt group in Portland, Oregon. We are 8 women who challenge ourselves to create fiber art. We are exhibiting at the Lincoln City Cultural Center through the month of February. The work is amazing as each artist provides their own interpretation to a chosen theme. Variety is what makes this so interesting.

Do yourself a favor and make a day trip to the beach and experience these works of art.
