Have not been here for about 10 months--life is busy, work, friends, play, sleep, eat.

Bird Nest Design

Finally, I created this "bird nest" fiber design based on an idea.  The base of the nest are the unraveled threads of fabric after you wash it.  I used different threads and beads to finish. Gold and blue-green thread and jewelry pieces from an old necklace.  I am not quite sure what I will do with this design.  I like it!

Happy New Year

Welcome 2010

**************

Merry Christmas, everyone!  I love the holidays.  Lots of family memories of Christmas past . Also, in Christmas present, I am thankful for my family, my friends, my home, my job, my health...***I AM GRATEFUL FOR ALL THOSE THINGS THAT GIVE ME QUALITY OF LIFE***At the right, this image is a family memory; a wonderful vintage black and photo of my mother, my sister, and me (circa 1950).

Happy Holidays

 

I went to the Denver Art Museum the other day. The image at the left is an example (not the actual piece hanging) of a new acquisition in the African Art section of the art museum.  What looks like a beautiful Klimtesque tapestry is actually a wall hanging made up of liquor bottle caps sewn together with copper wiring. El Anatsui, a nigerian artist, created this beautiful artwork.

I attended a performance today of The Nutcracker at the Paramount Theatre.  The Moscow Ballet performed the Nutcracker. I liked the performance--I just do not enjoy the crowds. Also today is my sister's birthday--Happy Birthday, Sis!
