So excited to see the Fiber Fusion show in the new VALA space!  VALA moved to a new location - it's still at Redmond Town Center, but down a few stores (to the East).  It's in an old clothing store retail space...so it has lots of windows, lots of lights, and it's a very pretty space!!  PERFECT for the Fiber Fusion show!! I helped unpack the show and get it ready for hanging, but haven't seen the full show in the new space yet.   Here's a picture of my two paintings at the show.  I thought I'd submit the two tulip paintings I did using the same pattern but vastly different techniques.  The paintings have been titled "Tulips Two Ways"  "Serti" and "Stop-flow".    And I LOVE the other painting that they've been hung with.  It's a colorful, eye-catching wall for sure!!  If you get the chance to stop by the opening reception, it would be great to see you!! We'll have munchies of course (and maybe even wine!).  Many o...

I am continuing to work on my bowls - which I am hoping to enter in the Fiber Fusion travelling exhibition... which is being produced by the Washington State Surface Design Association .   In the mean time, I was asked to help test their online entry system (which was a nice honor!).  It's working great!! AND the call is now open, so if you are interested in participating in the Fiber Fusion show, you have until March 20th, 2016 to enter (you do HAVE to be an SDA member to apply...so get that done first!).  Here's my latest photo shoot for one of the bowls.  Trying to figure out which background etc, I like best.  So far I've taken about 200 pictures - trying different angles, backgrounds, and ephemera.  I'll show you the one I end up using later.  :)   I may even use it to apply to the SPIN image contest for their 2016 festival !  Wish me luck! I like the button necklace -it demonstrates how see-through the bowl really is ...
