Texture (and pattern) Tuesday

A friend saw a brochure for the Schoodic Sculpture Trail Map in Maine.  She thought of me and passed along the map.  My husband and I have spent two very long days driving up and down the coast of Maine looking at the fabulous, mostly huge, stone sculptures.  We still have at least one more day before we will see all of them.  So, here are some texture pictures from the sculptures.

In the Indigo, again.

Here are the results of a second play date with Beth and her indigo vat.  We are getting together for a third session soon.  I am getting quite a pile of blue fabric.

Indigo Dye

Spent Friday at Beth's house with her indigo dye vat.  I have some lovely fabric now.  Just a few pictures of fabric opened at Beth's.  I have some other fabric that I had to let completely dry so I could undo the stitching.  I'll show them later.

Two Awards

Yesterday was the Opening for the UMA Juried Student Show.  I won two awards!

The first was the Book Award for Rusty Skills.  The book represents sewing skills that are being lost in the younger generation.

The second award was a purchase award.  The faculty of the Art Department voted unanimously to purchase my art cloth. The art cloth is 56" by 34" and is a silkscreen print.  It is now in the permanently art collection of the University of Maine at Augusta.

Off to the right of this picture is another piece that I made.  It is 3-D Rust.
