The Summer 2012 issue of Art Quilting Studio magazine is due to be in the newsstands in a few days. This is the cover:
I had the pleasure of being asked again to write an article for it:

Traveling Soles poster and gallery view
This is the poster that Gaston College prepared for the Traveling Soles exhibit, now showing. I am pleased to see my piece there.
A couple of images from the show itself:

where have all the photos gone?
Due to an unforgivable glitch between Google and Picasa Web Albums, all the photos on this blog are unavailable. While I fume and ponder my next move, I wanted to offer my apologies to readers and an explanation. I hope to be back soon. Thank you.
ps: The solution is to relink every photo again, one by one. It will take a while but I am working on it.

to their watery graves ...
This is my second interpretation of the theme Travelling Souls. As I had mentioned in an earlier post, the images just would not let go of me so I had to keep working through another piece.

a whole lot more stitching and texture ... now pondering the next stage. It is roughly 35" high by 92" wide ... whew!
click images to enlarge
work in progress ... doodled with thread directly on the fabric while on the frame ... added paint while still on the frame ... adding tons of narrow stitched lines now ... more to come soon.

Second piece working out the technical details, construction issues, layout, background ... More to come.
what secrets you keep

I am enjoying engineering these projections but it is difficult to capture them in a photograph. I am working out this idea on a much larger scale, although with fabric, that goes against the law of gravity. Wish me luck!
new work but no title yet
click to enlarge
It was a lot of fun to work with these new screens. The mundane holds such appeal for me ... I have not chosen the title yet. Thanks for looking. Commenting is free!
models
click to enlarge
I have tentatively titled this "models" and it represents pure fun for me, a few hours of painting and printing. I need to ponder what it needs next and whether to 'reconstitute' it, much like the last piece below, by chopping it all up ... or not.

I am done with the permutations. This will be it - 4 separate panels. Now to add stitches ...
current work

These are a few snippets of the work currently on my design wall. It consists of 4 panels and, as soon as I choose the final configuration, I shall upload photos of the completed work. Thanks for watching.
invited to exhibit
"To Their Watery Graves ..."
I've had the pleasure of being invited to participate in an art exhibit for which the theme is any interpretation of "Traveling Soles."
I chose to exercise poetic and phonetic license (with the curators' blessing) by interpreting the idea as Travelling Souls and, thus, this piece was born.
The image has been seared in my mind for years; I only hope I did it justice.
Sightlines unveiled
Read all about it! Read all about it!
The catalog for the "Sightlines" show is out just in time for the inaugural event in Houston, TX this week.
About a year ago, fourteen artists were invited to create an installation of artworks featuring a sightline linking all the work in the exhibit. Each artist chose her own theme and created anywhere from five to eight artworks, including four 8x8" linking pieces, covering a total of ten feet in width each.
Visit the above link to read the curator's statement, view all the artwork and to keep abreast of venues where it will be displayed.
Photographer Gregory Case took this photo of my piece for the show's catalog. Click on it to enlarge. I am so very pleased with this representation of my work - thank you, Gregory.
"TENSION"
If you see it in person, let me know what you think.
1000 artisan textiles book
Here is the cover--one of my pieces is featured in the bottom row, 2nd in from the right. Click to enlarge! A cover girl at my age!
What a pleasure to have my work included in the "1000 Artisan Textiles" book due out May 2010 by Rockport Publishers/Quarry Books. Thank you Gina M. Brown and also Sandra Salamony, editor and wonderful artist in her own right. Directly from them:
"This beautiful collection includes fine artisan examples of contemporary textiles and fiber art including quilts, linens, garments, wall hangings, and wearable art. A wide variety of techniques are featured, including hand and machine embroidery, decorative stitching, batik, dyeing, fabric painting, appliquè, felt, and all types of surface decoration.
