Fiber Art -- Weeping Willows

I'm again participating the the SAQA Benefit Auction. My piece "Willow V" will be up for bid Sept. 14 - 23, 2018.

This is the 5th willow piece that I've made. You can see some of my process HERE.

This is my first willow which I made for a challenge 'green/sorrow' that measures 8"X11" and is still available for $125. Sold

I made this piece "Willow IV" for the Fresh Faces exhibit and it is till available.

Fresh Faces, New Ideas

Quilt Challenge

PAAQT sponsored the Fresh Faces, New Ideas challenge to continue support of The National Quilt Museum, and to showcase new and upcoming talent within the quilt world. This year’s theme is thread embellishment. These quilts will travel for a year and will be auctioned at The National Quilt Museum’s auction at the AQS QuiltWeek – Spring Paducah 2019.

This willow was made for the 2016 SAQA Benefit Auction. It's already sold.

This one called "Weeping for Home," measures 20"X25", depicting Psalm 137 and is available for $650.

These last three pieces are depictions of my original works. They measure 8"X11" and are mounted on black mat board.

Louisville, Kentucky

On the way home from Ohio we stopped in Louisville, KY and found "The Big Bat." It is an exact scale replica made by specifications requested by Babe Ruth in the 1920's.

The height is 120 ft. and the diameter is 9 ft.

Facts about the bat are on this plaque in the sidewalk.

It weighs 68,000 lbs. and was installed in 1995.

Paul and I also walked about halfway over the Ohio River on The Big Four Bridge.

It used to be a railroad bridge and now is part of a park for the city.

And then it was homeward bound!

Virtual Paintout

I can't draw or paint worth a toot! But I sure enjoy following along the Virtual Paintout. I decided I am going to at least try and see what happens. Last month we were to walk the streets of the Virgin Islands.
