                                                            "Time Flies"

 This quilt was made in 1999/2000 for a challenge to interpret your favorite saying. It has a working clock in it to remind me to get moving!  The face is painted, the wings 3-d lame, curvy flying geese, and different times on each clock on the bottom.   Time Flies whether you are having fun or not....
It was exhibited widely in   National/International  shows in 2000 and '01 and brought home many pretty ribbons. It still hangs in the entrance to the studio. It remains one of my favorites.

 Two travelers: Artistic Artifact Power Suits and Arts and Old Lace
                                         (still on exhibit)
                                                    "She put on her power suit every day"

 

 I wrote a haiku for the challenge piece, did a self portrait. The mirror image is my old self going to court each day. The new self is a happy artist, living her art. Art is spelled out in Scrabble tiles, a quilt hanging above that. Hand lettered with ink pen. Original design and very personal.

                                                                    "Time and Again"

This challenge was for Arts and Old lace. I used the lace in my packet, used embossed paper to build the design on fabric background. I treated it as a fiber piece. I appliqued gold mesh fabric spirals on the background. Lots of gold thread.
Hope to get these back soon.

I have decided to love the way I draw instead of constantly critiquing it as child like. It's a STYLE!  It's my style!
