Piece sold at Whittier Art Gallery!

I was thrilled to learn that someone bought this piece from the Collaboration exhibit at the Whittier Art Gallery! It sold on the last day. I call it "Fear of Losing Marbles."

As happy as I am that someone liked it enough to buy it, I will miss it. I was fond of that one, and may have to make another iteration of it for myself. :-) Do you ever feel that way when one of your pieces sells?

Collaboration Reception

The reception for the Collaboration exhibit was really nice! Here is a link to the Whittier Art Gallery with photos and information. I will post my own photos when I have time.

I am busy organizing my file cabinets so we can find everything. My dear Bernina was at the repair shop since December 19, so I've kept busy doing handwork and some organizing around the home. The Bernina is back, but I'm trying to finish the filing project before I even look at it!

New work for gallery

This is the second piece that I made for the Collaborations exhibit, which will be at the Whittier Art Gallery in January. This one is for the Red Light grouping,  and its title is "Red Lantern Tree."
The idea came about this October when my pomegranate tree was groaning with fruit. They were hanging from the tree like glowing red lanterns.

new work for Whittier Art Gallery

I am working on two pieces for an upcoming group exhibit at the Whittier Art Gallery. Each piece had a "prompt," and the prompt for this one was "Broken Pull Toy." My piece is called "Fear of Losing Marbles." I used the same marbled fabric that I made at the Fibreye retreat last Spring and have been playing with.

Do you want to know the story? "Losing their marbles" is the rather rude way my husband describes the cerebral maladies inflicted upon some of our elders. Nuff said.

I like how it turned out. The robot-like head sits upon shoulders that resemble a car. The piece is small, 8" x 10", in an 11" x 14" frame.

The second piece is almost done. I'll post it soon. The "prompt" for the second one is "Red Light."
