Donation Piece Finished

Looking back, it seems I promised you progress reports on the making of this piece. I did remember to take pictures, but never blogged about it.

I decided to start out with a piece of commercial black fabric that I knew would discharge to orange. I made my lines with  soy wax, then discharged with diluted bleach.

I like the way this looked, but wanted a little subtle color difference, so I dye painted parts of the circles and the bottom area to darken it.

After stitching and shrinking, I added a little hand stitching.  These pictures were taken with my little camera, below are the truer colors

And the detail shot.  This is called "On The Line", and it's 12 x12.

Fiberart For A Cause

I have been invited, along with 99 other artists to help Virginia Spiegel raise money for the American Cancer Society. The goal for this fundraiser is to raise $10,000 in one day!  Virginia's brilliant idea is to match 100 patrons with 100 randomly assigned pieces of art, for $100.

We've all been affected by this terrible disease, and I feel privileged to take part in this worthy cause.
In the next few months I'll be posting progress on the artwork I'm producing. Feb. 4th is the big day. For more details, click here, and thank you for your support.
