I’ve been busy in the studio. I started a new fiber art wall hanging. It all starts with this: pile of fabric scraps turns into a quilt. And, after two days of work on these scraps, I create the main elements. In this case it’s an elongated teardrop shape. I make them each as individual
New Artwork – Movement #2
I’m so excited to share my latest large art quilt with you! It’s taken a long time to complete, but I’m happy with it, so it’s well worth the effort! Called “Movement #2″, it’s part of a series I have started to create that is based upon the movement of things I saw while
