And So It Goes…

This past weekend was busy for me, the guild I belong to presented a gallery opening for the Mixed Media Madness Mission (codename: M4).  We received a Pizza Box full of stuff ( see the contents here ) and were challenged to create something from the contents. I created a mixed media art doll. Folks have told me that I need to pursue this creative route. I borrowed a few copies of Art Doll Quarterly and to tell the truth I am a bit fanscinated with the ideas.

In addition to created mixed media pieces, I’m teaching an Angelina Fiber Demo this weekend. I decided to make a sample quilt to show use of the techniques. The quilt is a 9″ x 12″ piece that I will send to Alzheimer’s Art Quilt Initiative for them to auction and raise money for Alzheimer’s research.

I have also made some progress in other areas of my art. If you haven’t notice, I started an Etsy shop and continue to fill it with cool little things. Look in the upper right corner of this page to see a link to my store. Or you can click here. More cool things will be added as I have time. Keep checking.

Some of my pieces use wool and silk fibers that  I purchased from other Etsy resellers. I want to give a shout out to Magic Stix Fibers and her cool dyed curly lock wool. You can buy her cool wool online at her Etsy store…click here.  Love the colors she creates, they match my style well.

I also love the silks I bought from Prairie Fibers. She uses natural dyes create vivid colors in silk fibers, cocoons, and wool roving. Need some fibers? Checkout Etsy. They have some fabo fiber people. Great place to shop if you’re like me…live far away from roving stores.

And so it goes, I continue to create, grow and learn. This year I am taking added steps to become more aware. Last week I made the first step in this progress, between April and June I hope to see some visible changes.
