MINIMS

These are 6" squares done on those days when everything else seems too much to handle.   To date there are 11, but I suspect there are more to come.   Printed on my home computer and hand stitched.  They are on felt which will Velcro to stretched canvas for display.  There's no fixed arrangement.  Some of the Minims are based on fragments of other artists' work, so bits of pieces.

Held Harmless

So far there are 7 in this series.  The pieces range form 18" - 28".  They are based on paper collages I made, photographed, tweaked in Photoshop, sent off to be printed and then hand embroidered like a made woman for weeks and weeks!  They pretty much illustrate exactly what has been going on in my brain during the pandemic (to date!!).

The first 2 are below in a previous post so I'm only putting #3-7 here.

After the 6th Extinction

 After the 6th Extinction is a one off.  I just couldn't resist.   It's up at the Oceanside Museum of Art till February 2021.   There are secret metal rods in there holding those flowers nice and UP!

Fun With Fosshape

Held Harmless Paper Collage

This is a finished collage a photograph of which is off at Spoonflower getting printed  - I HOPE!!   They seem to be weeks behind.

Held Harmless - PINK

This is the early stage of a series called Held Harmless.   It is based upon some collages I made from paper.  I have them printed and am now stitching on them.  Watch this spot for more to come.

Cradle

This piece, not quite finished, was begun in a workshop I took in March of this year from Gerhardt Knodel.     An adventure for sure!!

 

Border Wall Down

The first image is what hangs on the wall above the second which is arranged on a pedestal.

LOTS going on at FiberFly Studios during the lock down

Is this the beginning of a series of small works called Held Harmless?   Who's to say at this point?   So many questions...

 

VISIONS... Here We Come!!

THRILLED to be one of only 38 artists from all over the globe to have had a quilt selected for this very important international exhibit.    First Sunrise made the cut.

Border Wall Down

36" x 36" x 10"   Entirely hand stitched.  On antique linen I dyed.  This piece is off to the Sebastopol Center for the Arts through early February.

Better Late Than Never

This show will be closing soon but if you are in St. Louis please swing by.  My piece Ohio 1 is on view.

 

INCARCERATION on view

Come One, Come All!!!

  

2 more quilts

These are 2 quilts I made in 2-19 and somehow neglected to post.

Murano is based on a photo I took in ...you guessed it: Murano, Italy, last year.  Tons of appliqued peeling paint and other hand stitching.   The second is a pieced quilt I painted over then appliqued a form on top of.

Escape By Moonlight

These are 3 of the 12 pieces in this subset of Incarceration my great big solo show at the Long Beach, CA, Jewish Community Center all of January.  They're 6" x 6"

Circles!!

I made these pieces to submit to the Art Cloth Network exhibit that begins at the Minneapolis Textile Center in April and tours for 3 years.  The first 2 were accepted.

Space Junk

I started this piece when we got back from Denmark a few years back and finally found time to put it together.    Just fun, no real commentary on how earthlings are managing to pollute the cosmos now that we have pretty despoiled Earth!  Ahem, ahem...

All invisible stitch applique.
