I didn't get a chance to get to go to the Troy Fair last week to see in person how my things did. I did read in the newspaper about my first place ribbon for "Water Road House". It was judged, and placed first in mixed media! I also had a few surprises with my other entries. I was pleased to receive a number of blue ribbons along with a few red and one 3rd place. The biggest surprise was the quilt that received a Best in Show!!
On to the NEW work on the wall... That is if I can find space to work in... My studio keeps getting cluttered with things from other rooms, and a design wall that keeps hiding my ironing board when I least expect it.
Here is one of the pieces that I started while at QSDS. I am playing with adding more Mountain Laurel flowers, and will be printing up some other woodland flowers and more ferns to add to this. I am sure it will go through a number of changes before it is completed.
Now to find that ironing board again, and get some fabric ready for the printer....
Day four has come and gone, and day five is beginning..... As promised, I have a few photos to show today.
When painting our fabrics, we have been encouraged to just paint with
no thoughts, just make fabric.... Well, I have a bit of trouble
sometimeswith that, and tried this piece with the trellis cut out of
contact paper and placed on the canvas before adding the colors. This
may be sitting waiting for a while tofigure out just what it will
become.
I have had for a long time. I printed flower photos onto a few pieces and the effect is great.
Time for breakfast..... I hope to have at least one piece at least layed out and hopefully mostly constructed. I will be playing with my blues and see what happens.
