Dimensions in Art at The von Liebig

Unfortunately, I forgot to snap photos of my two new pieces on display in Naples at The von Liebig, after my final trimming and binding.  One piece is Sanibel Island Light and the other piece is, " All About Art," which pictures The von Liebig Art Center.  Both are painted whole cloths.  I do have a third piece in the show, called, " Young Egret."  All of this work and most of the work that I do, is based on my own digital photography.

Crashing Thunder

It's storming again!  Typical Florida weather.  It's a good day to work on projects.

Working on Florida Scenes

I have been working on Florida scenes this summer, finishing three fabric art pieces of Naples, Florida scenes with an up-coming show in mind.  I have also done a piece featuring Sanibel Island Light.  Three new works will be on display at The von Liebig Art Center, opening reception Friday, September 6, 5:30-7:30 PM.
I would love to post some in process photos, but can't seem to get photos from my IPad album to my Blog.  Any suggestions are welcome.

So Much For Frequent Posting!

Can't seem to get back to posting frequently.  I am working on new fiber art and have acquired a loom and have begun weaving.  So much to do, so little time!  With all of this Florida rain, I spend much time outside, trimming plants, pulling weeds, mowing grass.  I also swim daily and scrub my pool.  All of those things take time.
Two weeks ago, I took a photography trip to Naples, Fl to take local photos of street scenes, which is the next series that I am working on.  Hope to get these pieces done and ready for an upcoming show opportunity at the Von Liebig Art Center.  Lots of painting and sewing in my near future!
Create Art!

Newest Fiber Work

I will have to re-set my goal for 2013 to be a more consistant blog poster!  Seems like I am always working on something, and my work has been getting out there to more venues in Forida.  Like many of you, I am working on Christmas gifts and other fiber products.  This week's prduction has been, painting and shibori.  I have two shawls and a dress completed and a tote bag still in production. 

Happy holidays to all and a very blessed new year!  Be creative!!!!!

Two Finished Quilts; One Accepted

Well, when it comes to juried shows, you never know what will happen!  I worked to get the second polka dot entry done, and only my first quilt, All About Polka Dots: The Tea Party, was accepted.  I was kind of bummed about it, but hey, at least one got into the show.  This show is currently being displayed at Big Art on Sanibel Island, Florida.  The show runs until December 1.
It's time to work on another project!

All About Polka Dots Too

I have been working on the 
quilt in my previous posts, All About Polka Dots, The Tea Party.  I decided to work on a second entry for this call for art, because this second image was stuck in my head.  I have spent the last two weeks quilting one piece and then sketching and painting, All About Polka Dots, At The Races.  I have one week to have both of them ready for the jury!  Keep working!  What do you think?  You probably think I am crazy!
The call for art stated that they wanted art in any medium, showing, "The World of Fashion's Influence on Contemporary Life."  A week from now, we see if I managed to make it to the show!
