Mystics Dance

detail

I have been fortunate enough over the past few months to have been part of the organizing group for an upcoming show called “Fibre Content” and also lucky enough to have my own piece “Mystics Dance” juried in! I have had the opportunity to work with a wonderful group of artists that are passionate about fibre art.
I have been working on this piece for a while on this (among others) … Mystics Dance is watercolour on muslin with hand-stitch and free-motion, … I was so thrilled to have it accepted.

If you would like to read more about the show please go to the fibrations website and we are on facebook as well thanks to the hard work of one of our committee members.

So, click here to go to the website - fibrations.org - and click here to go to the facebook page for the Fibre Content Show.

This is a two day show at the end of October hanging at the beautiful Burlington Performing Arts Centre!

Have wonderful weekend,

Northern Lights over Boreal Forest ~ completed

a few details

Well, this piece has been completed and will be part of a small exhibit of ~ forests ~ at the Burlington Art Centre.

I learned a lot with this particular piece and will start a second in the series soon.

Sometimes, though the vision that I start with doesn't always translate into the finished piece ~ not that it is a bad thing.

I will work again with a different composition but the same subject matter of the Boreal Forest.

This is acrylic on wool with some hand stitch and lots of free motion.

Northern Lights over Boreal Forest

Just the first start ~
and detail




Ok, so I have always been fascinated by the Boreal forests ~ like a green scarf around the northen shoulders of the continent. Also, I have memories of seeing the Northern Lights when I was much younger and living further north ~ it is like nothing you have ever seen. The light and colour is so different from the normal evening light with green and purple streaks across the sky.

Colours cover the sky and dance in a captivating show!

I am hoping to finish the piece this week and will post the finish soon.

This is acrylic on wool with free-motion stiching. I have enjoyed painting the fabric as much as designing and stitching

Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
