Fiber Art Demo

Last Saturday we had our final Breakfast Demo for the year. A wonderful continental breakfast was served at 9am. We ate, talked, laughed and got creative, and finished up by 10am.


Kathy's Introduction of Me and My Starbucks!

I presented the topic of the demonstration which was painting on fiber with Neocolor II Watersoluble Crayons, Inktense pencils and acrylic paint. I brought some examples of finished fiber art in different sizes, and we had a good discussion about ATC (Artist Trading Cards), ACEO's (Artist Cards Editions and Originals), miniatures (general guideline is 1:6 scale), Inchies (1 sq in), and Plus Size Inchies (1.5 - 2 sq in).

The demo included painting on cotton fabric and quilt batting, sandwiching the fabric with a stabilizer, embellishing with beads and yarn, and finishing the pieces into fiber art.

Thanks to Kate Cissell for taking photos at the Breakfast Demo!

Artist's Reception for CPSA 17th Annual Intl Exhibit

Wow! What a week. I left the hotel at 4:30am this morning, flight left at 6:30 and arrived at my house at 9:30am. So glad to be home, to be able to decompress and spend some time with my hubby. He was such a sport to hold down the house while I was gone.

Thought I would share some pictures from the artist's reception yesterday afternoon.

It was a beautiful venue, and the Gallery Manager said it was the best show they have hosted at the gallery.

Now that I am home I need to start on my colored pencil/mixed media piece for the ET!6 Exhibit. Propectus should be available at the CPSA website on September 1. I also need to start on my 100% colored pencil piece for the Mar 31, 2010 deadline for the 18th Annual International Exhibit in Silicon Valley next summer.
