First try….
I couldn’t wait to make something with a piece of the new fabric made from my photos, so this morning I got out a needle and thread and got to work. Now, many of the women in my family (including my mother who still does some sewing and even made my wedding dress as well as a few others) are or were great in the sewing arts…not me. That gene totally skipped me. So putting something together with fabric and thread is a bit of a challenge, and, since I don’t sew, I don’t have a sewing machine. Slippery fabric and hand stitching….but I did it! Add to that the fact that I start ed about 6:30 this morning and you can understand why I don’t want anyone to look too closely at this first bracelet. But, it shows just how excited I am by this new material! Here are some pictures. Remember, 6:30 AM, needle and thread, slippery fabric, non-sewer who is very excited to see the finished product.
News!
Not much new has been going on, until now….
I applied to ArtiGras, the winter Green Bay art fair, and already knew my photos would be in based on being in ArtStreet and winning an award, but I also juried for the Glass category. The glass was accepted, so I will be bringing both photos and glass to the event! This will be the first fair where I have shown both the original artwork (glass) and the photos derived from it. Should be interesting. Will be posting updates closer to the dates of March 7-8.
Other big news is that Fine Art America is offering images on throw pillows. I have been wanting to put some of these photos on fabric, and this is a great opportunity to see how they look. The pillows come in many sizes, and both square and rectangular, so hopefully they will work for different settings. I have ordered a couple to see how they look.
