Hi all,<\/p>\n

I haven’t really vaporized!\u00a0 I’ve just been incredibly lazy and distracted about art and posting.\u00a0 I’ve been out doing fall planting in my garden:\u00a0 exotic new colors of echinacea (Tomato Soup and Mac ‘n’ Cheese), ferns, grasses and astilbe.\u00a0\u00a0 My hope is that the new plants have a prayer against my dogs running through the garden.\u00a0 140 pounds of excited Great Dane being chased by my 60 pound mutt doesn’t lend itself to fragile plantings.\u00a0 Though this is pretty exciting in my world, but doesn’t really lend itself to pictures or postings.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I finally got all the pictures off my camera from the last month.\u00a0 Hopefully this will inspire me to actually post what I’ve been doing!\u00a0 Posts to come include Jeanne Beck’s workshop that I did in early September; the magic of string stamps,\u00a0 vat dyeing, and pictures of a show I’m in locally called Recent Works.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I went a few days ago to see Barbara Schneider’s<\/a>\u00a0solo exhibit ‘Summer’s End” \u00a0in McHenry, Illinois.\u00a0 The link on her name\u00a0opens to her\u00a0 website and show information.\u00a0 I have posted some of Barbara’s work before.\u00a0 She is an incredibly talented Chicago area artist who happens to be in a\u00a0 fabulous needle arts guild<\/a> with me.\u00a0 Lucky me, she gives classes locally as well.\u00a0 I am taking a vat dyeing workshop with her this Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Anyway, her exhibit consisted of pieces from her reflections series, 3D leaf pieces, pressure formed synthetic pieces among other work.\u00a0\u00a0 Oh, to have an art budget; I would have lightened up her packing of the show considerably.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I am sincerely coveting this piece below.\u00a0 If sales are\u00a0even close\u00a0for me\u00a0at the Fine Art of Fiber Show<\/a>\u00a0 this November, I intend to buy it.\u00a0 This is a three dimensional piece about 3 feet \u00a0wide or so.\u00a0 Barbara has hand dyed the fabric, constructed the piece and quilted\u00a0 the surface and then stiffened\u00a0them into these fabulous shapes.\u00a0 It is breathtaking and the picture really doesn’t do it justice.<\/p>\n

Barbara has done a whole series based on reflections.\u00a0 The ones in this show are water reflections, though I think she has done some building reflections as well.\u00a0 Here’s one that I would dearly love to own.\u00a0 I hope that November show is really good \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\u00a0Here are a few other reflection pieces from the show:<\/p>\n

This one wasn’t for sale.\u00a0 I think Barbara told me she gave pieces to various family members.\u00a0 Do you think she would adopt me???????<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

By the way, the fact that these pieces don’t look square and are unevenly lit is due to my inferior photography.\u00a0 Barbara’s pieces are square and perfect!<\/p>\n

More leaves.\u00a0 These are Prairie Dock:<\/p>\n
