My Peacock Project!

In the spring of 2017 I took a workshop with Susan Carlson to learn her fabric collage technique. It was at the Asilomar Conference Center. The workshop was a fun and worthwhile experience. I started a peacock art quilt in that workshop. I am almost done with it, so I thought I would use the next couple of posts to show the progression of the making of this art quilt. Here are some photos:

My inspiration was a peacock that I saw at a zoo in Hawaii. Here is my photo of that peacock:



My drawing from that photo:



The drawing on white muslin. The collage process has started.

This was about as much as I did in the workshop. Once I got it home I finished the bird up and then it was time for the background. I'll show that in the next post.  Thanks for visiting my blog!

"Exploration in Fiber" on Display at Cerritos Library

I am a proud member of Beyond the Edge Fiber Artists. We have an exhibit on display at the lovely Cerritos Library right now. The exhibit is called "Exploration in Fiber". Below is a photo of the exhibit showing one of my art quilts that is in the exhibit:





There is art work on display from seven fiber artists. The library and surrounding area is beautiful and it is worth the trip to see it.  It's also not far from shopping and eating opportunities!

The exhibit runs at Cerritos until September 8th, and then it moves to the Potaki Art Center in Mission Viejo for about two months. I hope you will have a chance to see it in one of those two locations.

Cerritos Library is located at 18025 Bloomfield Avenue, Cerritos, California. The phone number is 562-916-1350.

The Potaki Art Center is located at 27301 La Paz Avenue, Mission Viejo, California. The phone number is 949-470-8470.
