Volunteer Opportunity
Want to participate in writing a tutorial? We could write an exquisite corpse tutorial together. Exquisite corpse writings are completed by several people who all write a section without reading what was written before. The key, of course, is each of us are going to write a tutorial step without looking at what was written before. And for that matter, we don't even collaborate on the technique for which we are writing the steps.
I figure 10 steps would be good. So, are there 10 readers who would like to write one section of a tutorial? Just leave me a comment and the first ten volunteers get to have fun with me. Woot!
And for my art progress.
Here is a picture of the Double F Quilt on the design wall. I am starting to sew units together.
Progress on the quilt has been slow because I have been making felt stars. I started them before Christmas and liked the project. I am now making them to sell at a craft fair next Christmas.
And Beth (it is all her fault) has gotten me spending time on Tyvek for the Fire Blog. First a sculptural use of Tyvek and then some I am using to make brooches.
And I've been snow dyeing. Isn't this one really sad? I plan to use it in my print class and deconstruct screen print over it.
And I have started a new print class at UMA. My first project is deconstructed screen printing on fabric. The idea was inspired by Ayn Hanna.\'s work. Currently I am building a 4 ft by 8 ft print table in the school's print studio. I'll post a picture when I get it finished.

Blue Rose and a Nancy Crow finish
Here is the picture of my Blue Rose that I promised you last week. Sorry it took so long. After I promised to post it I was sick and wasn't in my office to take a picture.
I was undecided how to finish the edges so for now I just slid it into a frame. This was an experiment where I sewed together 5 or 6 layers of fabric and then started cutting away layers. Once I was happy with what was revealed, I applied gesso to the front and added some stamping and other color embellishment. I really like the results and should do more with this technique.
And here is my first finished (other than the hanging sleeve and a good steaming) quilt from the tops I pieced during Nancy Crow's workshop.
The quilting is not going to earn me any awards but I am satisfied with the piece. As I am preparing for a solo show next summer, I want to do more with this "double F" motif and have them all hang together.
