One World One Heart
Here is my entry into the One World One Heart Swap! I am excited to be participating for the first time. My understanding is that I am supposed to tell a little about myself in this post. Generally I try to avoid that. Perhaps I would rather be a woman of mystery. I can tell you that I am a long time quilter developing into a fabric artist and I am very thankful for all my internet friends who have helped me along my path. Perhaps you are one of them. Here is my "door prize" for the swap.
It is called "How Much Rice Is In Your Bowl?" I made it for the Art for Hunger show at the University of Maine at Augusta. The dark fabric in the back is hand dyed. The circles are organza sewn down with a machine satin stitch with hand embroidered seed stitches for the rice. It is 5 inches by 5 inches and is mounted on heavy white embossed paper I use for my relief printing. It is hung using 2 chop sticks.
If you would like a chance to win this door prize (including postage for it), please leave me a comment by February 17. I promise I will get it into the mail to you within 3 days. I also promise that I will check out your blog. Like I said, I have learned a lot from my internet friends and I would be happy to add you to my list of friends.

Hello, fantastic piece of fabric art. I just stumbled onto fiber arts when I took a class at a dollmakers conference with an Aussie fiber/doll maker. It was so much fun. I wish I had time to experiment & play more as there as just so many tricks & surprises playing with fabric. I looked at some of your fabric experiments & WOW is all I can say. hope you don't mind I follow ya.

Well, I think...I was intimidated to start quilting and using fabric but now that I've seen I need a welding apron, I may change my mind and run for the hills!! When an artist makes art for a noble or charitable cause, you know that the quality of time/effort/materials will be first rate. I would love to do honor of this art by hanging it in a special place, my new grandson's room. I want him to grow up surrounded by wonderful works, of many varieties. I was not raised that way and now can lament that fact. Thank you for the generosity in your gifting. Tina
ReplyDeleteOh what lovely work you do. I can't wait to see what the erosion bundle comes out to look like. I have never tried dying fabric but perhaps I will give it a try after seeing all your beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteHi there. Hope you are enjoying the ride. Please call on me at #100 if you have a chance.
ReplyDeleteI just checked out your blog and can tell I wanted to follow. I absolutely love your banner and your door prize for OWOH! Fabulous and how perfect it was for the exhibit. Please count me in and fly on over for a visit to number 92 where a clay face planter awaits you.
