Fiber Artist David L. Johnson at North Suburban Needle Arts Guild Meeting

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

Hi all,

We had a fabulous speaker today at my guild meeting:  Chicago fiber artist, David L. Johnson.  David is a fiber arts whirlwind; his pieces combine tapestry, beading and digital image transfer, as well as traditional craft such as crochet.  Check out his website-Urban Wild  to see all of his beautiful pieces. 

 David is a wonderful speaker: informative, funny and immensely creative.  He did a great lecture.  If you get the chance to hear him or see his work, take advantage of it

He was mobbed after the guild meeting with people buying his pieces.  I purchased this amazing piece called, “Bryn Mawr Storm Drain”  It combines digtal priniting on canvas, and beading; including the homemade twig beads that are David’s signature.  It has already found a home on my breakfast area wall.

This week my guild’s show, “Fine Art of Fiber” begins.  I am in the boutique as well as the show and I’ll be going to the SOFA show at Navy Pier on Friday.  It’s going to be a crazy, crazy week.   I’ll post lots of pictures as soon as I can!
