Dandelions

This is the first in a series of challanges for the fiber art group I belong to called twelve by twelve. The theme was dandelions and to view the others just go to the side bar on this blog site and click on the image.

Deconstructed

I spent the day yesterday playing with deconstructed screenprinting again, this time using mainly purple and yellow. I love the results and can't wait to cut them up into something. I tried the Pocono monofilament screens this time and they were fabulous. On one screen I did 8 prints. They are already coated with polyurethane so they just need to be taped and they are ready to go.

Work It Out

My 19 year old son had a few people over last night, and this morning when I went to the store I realized I had no cash and was missing my AMEX card. When I told him, he said one of the girls that was over was a "friend of a friend" and really cute. Unfortunetly, she was also a thief. I was thrashing around the house looking for something to bash, when I decided to take it out on a piece of fiber I had been haphazzardly working on. I threw myself into this piece, sewing, cuting, burning and then hand stitching. In half an hour I was done. The flash on the camera seems to take away some of the detail, but I think I worked out my frustration quite well

It's my birthday month

This is why I love Southern California. Sitting on the beach in Malibu drinking lunch! I'm on the right, and my friends Lela and Mary and I are celebrating the start of my birthday month

small pieces

I'm making some small pieces to sell in a gallery show I'll be in in November and I'm trying to use up some leftover pieces I have. On the one below I'm using a leftover sheers peice that I burned and then I made a little tyvek bead to put on it

On the piece below I cut up a silk piece I had painted after a Jeanne Beck class. I restitched it and then I'm going to add the tyvek beads to it.
