Fiber Art Exhibitions

Hard to believe almost a year has passed since my new granddaughter was born. In the midst of making baby clothes--Wow. I am fortunate to have been busy dropping off and picking up art works from multiple exhibits-even had to enlist my husband as driver during my immediate foot surgery recovery. I had 2 pieces each accepted into the holiday shows at the Hanover Area Art Guild and the York Art Assn--honorable mention award at HAAG and award of merit at YAA. I juried 2 pieces into the Maryland Federation of Art  members exhibit with an horrible mention and another 2 pieces into the MFA Lowes House exhibit, second place award. I also have a piece accepted into the Blackrock Fiber Show and am please to announce that my Quilt featuring the lyrics from Jimmy Buffett's "The Rocket that Grandpa Rode" into the FMTTM Apolo moon mission quilt selections. I also have 2 works in the current HAAG Farm theme show as well as 2 fiber pieces and 2 dog portraits in York Gallery Group venues (Janney Financial and Talus Salon).

Fiberart International

My Pittsburgh guild is doing a set of wrapping paper for a benefit of Fiber Art International 2012 just like they did the decks of cards for FI 2010. On the wrapping paper will be printed fiber work letters for each of the alphabet in squares plus a square for FGH

(Fiberart guild of Pittsburgh) and FI logo (Fiberart International). 

I got in late so all the letters were taken, I got the Fiberart Int logo which had to be pictured as a script lower case f and i just as pictured positioned in the square also as pictured. The pictured Pittsburgh skyline is a composite--those buildings are not really next to each other in real life, but are unique to Pittsburgh.

It was fun. I considered felting, but since the final piece had to be exactly 12"x12", I was leery of how big to start. I also have been doing some fabric painting and dying and decided to use those skill plus appliqué. Doing another beadwork piece was prohibitive time wise as "Clubbing the Night Away"-see previous posts Sept 09-Feb10 actually took a full year to complete. Joanne
