White River Hope was sold in 2012 to Einstein Health Network for their permanent collection. They produced an audio tour of their collection that includes this work.
It has gone missing!
They have commissioned a replication. Thankfully I have good photos documenting the piece to work from. This was free cut with no patterns. I’m sure I have some of these fabrics in my stash. In the trees is a gorgeous stitch resist African fabric that I keep for use in special pieces. Now to get to work.
Are these cool or what? I have planned some art books and was looking for just the right covers to transform with mixed media. These three were found at an estate sale in the recipe book pile. Love,love,love the all wooden one tied with leather laces.
Lovely LuLu decided to take a roll in the wet grass after her morning necessities. Silly wet girl thought she would sit on my lap! I said no. I think her expression says it all.
A new large piece of textile painted fabric. Soft and crinkly quilted rayon.
What do you see in this piece? A tide pool? A forest? Tell me.
More stitching will be involved.
A tiny start with some tiny art while I’m on intermission. Our Arts in the Cards theme for June was music/rhythm.
My mother sang on WDZ radio in Illinois as a young woman. I have stacks of her sheet music with much of it having damage. I used some for the background on these cards. With Inktense pencils I illustrated the way I see a single melodious note.
