For now, though, enjoy the aforementioned eye-candy from the Water shows.
Where you can find fiber arts eye-candy till June 3. Go now!“The Gorge/Water Cycle” by Judith Roderick. Hand-painted silk art quilt. The picture can never do this justice, but note how the bird is also part of the gorge.Close up of “Blue Water of the North/Feng Shui Series” by Donna Loraine Contractor. Wool on cotton tapestry.Oops! How did my own piece slip in there? 🙂 “Memory of Water” is hooked with plastic bags on monks’ cloth.
“Leaves and X’s in the Ice” by Nancy Wohlenberg was made using a discontinuous tapestry technique; four selvedge technique. Love this!Heidi Anderson felted alpaca and merino wool to create: “”Water is Life Seed Pot” on the right and “Olla” on the left. so cute!Part of “Germinating” by Linda Rael. Dyed fabric, stitching.
A close-up of Linda Rael’s “Water is Life.” Dyed, painted, stitched, and found objects.
“The Day Begins” by Linda Rael. Hand-dyed and recycled fabrics, found objects. This crane really “stood out.”
“Mayordomo” by Linda Rael. Mixed media. “Mayordomo” is the guardian of the acequias or the water ditch master.
A close-up of “Rain Dance” by Linda Rael. Stitched, beaded doll.“Mountain Snow,” a handmade felted coat created by Vicki Anne Evans. Lovely, but I put that on, ketchup will drop from the sky right onto my boob.
“Novena for Rain” by Catherine Kelly (and my friend and Adobe Wool Arts guild mate. Multi/fractured piece of traditional rug hooking, felted wool, yarn, and beads.
And lastly, though not the best shot, Cathy and myself in front of her piece. Perhaps we’re really the fiber arts eye-candy… Regardless, I still think that they should’ve had wine at the opening reception. Your thoughts concerning beverages at art receptions: wine versus ice water with stupid lemon slices. Let me know in the comments.
Wonderful show! That is one thing I miss living down here, is that lack of “heavy duty” art/craft/fiber shows.( That being said, this weekend is Artisphere in Greenville which is a very wonderful art/craft sale, which I am missing.) There’s something to be said for living near a big city, but that was what we decided to give up to move here. We should probably plan a trip to Atlanta soon…
You are having a great and busy Spring!
-Busy, yes! more than I counted on. I keep thinking that I’ll get a little break. Lots of paperwork and Etsy and website clean-ups to do, but I can’t find the time. But I do get to hook, so that’s good. And you’re missing the Greenville show why? I have to admit that ABQ has a LOT of arts stuff going on all the time. It’s part of why I wanted to move here. It’s also all very accessible in a way that New England wasn’t. So much happens in the city right here. No need to travel to Vermont or New Hampshire or the other side of Mass and deal with traffic. -I do miss living in a small town though (not that Franklin was small when we left it) and having more space between my house and my neighbor’s. That’s been difficult to adapt to. And not knowing my neighbors much. But people are friendly, and this is a great city for dogs.
This is a stunning show! I think sangria would have been a good beverage choice.
Ooh, thank you, Karen. For the kind words and the vote. Given it’s New Mexico, sangria would be a fine choice. 🙂
