On August 26, 2010, The Arts Alliance Center at Clear Lake opened its exhibit, "High Fiber & Raw Materials". This was the debut of our group quilt entitled "Speaking in Color", and we were awarded a Juror's Choice award.
Mary Ann has posted a very nice slideshow of the opening on her blog, and here are a few of her pictures, plus some of my own photographs. This was our fiber interpretation of a flower photo, divided into 6 parts, each 24" x 24". We were happy to find a good professional photographer, Rick Wells, in Houston.

ReplyDeleteOMG, Linda! Those pieces are fabulous! I lu u u u u ve your flower! Did you paint them first?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Robin & Ophelia! Lynn, you are too sweet! And to answer your question, I used raw-edge applique, and thread-painting to enhance or contrast some of the colors. The hardest part was the gallery-wrap!
ReplyDeleteOH be still my beating heart! These are FABULOUS! The Frayed Edges may need to follow suit....ooooh.....or maybe just me.....ooooh!
