Thought you might enjoy seeing the Divas. I made these little quilts for my friends for their birthdays.

I finished the first half of Sharon Boggan's class at Joggles. Sharon, who is from Australia, will have a piece in the Cyber Fyber exhibit.

Mail Call

Susan Reno's silk postcard arrived and I mailed her a copper and velvet postcard in exchange.

I explained Sue's Cyber Fyber project in yesterday's blog.

CYBER FYBER is an exhibition of international fiber art scheduled for January 8th through 20th, 2009 at Gallery 80808/Vista Studios, 808 Lady Street in downtown Columbia, South Carolina, USA. The brainchild of Susan Lenz, this exhibit will focus on the supportive, global community of fiber artists with whom Susan regularly shares new techniques, contemporary approaches to textiles, and finished work by Internet websites and blogs. The exhibition will include three primary areas: Fiber ATCs (Artist Trading Cards); fiber postcards; and the work of several invited artists. The exhibition will also include FIBER DAY and ATC trading day. From the beginning, Susan Lenz is documenting CYBER FYBER on a blog/journal.
If you are a fiber artist who has an active website or blog, go visit Cyber Fyber and celebrate Susan’s vision by participating.

These quilts are part of Ami Simms Alzheimer:Priority Quilts which are sold and the monies raised are for Alzheimer Research. www.Alzquilts.org. This year I hope to create one a month. It is a great way to try new techniques.

The top is Ocean of Tears Alzheimers Quilt, hand painted linen, beads, hand embroidery.

The middle is a cyanoprint of my mother-in-law with her twin sisters, Mary and Margaret.

The other is a heliogaphic botanical print with the butterfly and flower made from Angelina film.
