3rd Convergence Exhibit

A third piece I submitted to Convergence 2016 was accepted, for the "All-Media" exhibit.  The theme this year is "Mixed Bag".   Here's a detail of my piece L'heure Bleue.  Come to the Handweavers' Guild of America's Convergence 2016 in Milwaukee to see the whole thing in person!

This is the first time I've had a piece in every exhibit; it's pretty exciting.

Designing Weavers Annual Event

It's coming  up!  Our annual exhibit and boutique, "Art for the Home, Body, and Soul" will be November 21 and 22 (the weekend before Thanksgiving) at the Woman's Club of Sierra Madre in Sierra Madre (near Pasadena, CA).  That's my piece, "L'heure Bleue" on the front of the postcard.

Come see this artwork and other of my work, as well as lots of beautiful fiber art, home furnishings and art-to-wear by the Designing Weavers.  Meet the weavers, talk to us about our work, see demonstrations of our craft and join us for a great time in Sierra Madre!

Blues Weaving Continues

Yikes!  Think I'll have a few ends to needle in?

My Blues Weaving

Work in progress.  Slit tapestry weave on a floor loom.

Lately I have noticed that my most contented and optimistic moments are those when I am sitting at the loom, weaving. At other times there are the normal doubts and fears, but in those minutes and hours at the loom, everything feels as if it's in the right place and headed in the right direction.

A New-to-me Weave

I have been sampling this structure.  I haven't done much in tapestry weave before, and I wasn't sure if this would work the way I have in mind for my larger project.

I'm trying to emulate this stamped metal material they sometimes use to make stair treads - and the outdoor tabletop in this photo.
