Upcoming Gallery Show - Expressions in Fiber Art

I love being a member of Beyond the Edge Fiber Artists! We have another exhibit beginning May 1st at the Anaheim Center Gallery.  My work and fiber art created by 7 other wonderful artists will be on display.

There will be an artist's reception on Friday, May 5th from 5 to 6:30 pm.  I would love it if you could be there!

The City of Anaheim will generously provide food and drink at the reception too!  The brochure is shown below, but just in case you can't read the address it is:

250 East Center Street, Anaheim, CA. Put it in your GPS and come to see us!

"Tough Old Bird"

"Tough Old Bird", Eileen Wintemute

This is my piece entitled "Tough Old Bird".  It was just shown at the 2017 Road to California Quilters Showcase, and it will be shown at other venues this next year. It is based on a photograph of Roy, a friend of mine.













This is the picture of Roy I based it on:



I took this photo at a July 4th gathering at a friends house, and I always thought it was interesting to look at. There is something about capturing people in normal conversation that looks so natural to me. Roy has a lot of things going on that give it character, like the hat, the beard and the cigar.

I am proud to be a member of Beyond the Edge Fiber Artists, and we decided to create an exhibit entitled "Put A Bird On It!".  We were encouraged to take a liberal view of this title, so I decided to create a piece based on my photo of Roy. After all, "tough old bird" is a form of a bird, is it not?

I am very happy with the way it turned out. It is going to be Roy's once it is done being shown by me. In my next few posts I'll show the steps used to create it.

This is the piece in the contest - It is called "Flamingo-Flamango".

Shaped by Fiber II

If you did not have a chance to see Beyond the Edge's Shaped by Fiber II exhibit at the Mission Viejo Library, here is a link to a video of that exhibit. It really was a very nice exhibit. The video was created by Luke and Laura Bisagna. The fiber art vessel to the right was created by Linda Friedman.

I am a member of "Beyond the Edge Fiber Artists" and we have an exhibit at the Cerritos Library that is running now through September 15th. This is a beautiful location and I think the exhibit has a very nice collection of fiber art pieces. This is a postcard with information about the exhibit:
