MIXing in July

Our gathers always begin with the business at hand. This day was no exception. A review of our recent exhibit at the Stitchin' Post Gallery concluded that it was delightfully displayed both by theme and color. It is always fun, in a dynamic exhibit such as this, to find the common voice of each individual artist among different works. A number of pieces  were sold, which offers additional validation to the artist. We all agreed that we would like to exhibit at this lovely gallery again.

Next was finalizing the details for our upcoming exhibition at the PDX Commons building on Belmont in Portland, OR.. The work will be both the Let It Rip and As I See It collections, as well as some 3D work. Hanging apparatus and art sleeves were a part of this discussion. The show runs from October 1 to November 30. More on this later.

We always save the best part for last--a sharing of work.

Hilde shared a piece that she has been working on. This is only a sneak peak. The work is a beautiful rendering of trees in a forest. Curved lines and color are central to both Hilde's work and this piece. The green tones are exceptionally calming. Lovely!

Annette shared a work that is a dandelion casting it's seeds to the wind. In this detailed view, each of the white lines you see is a stitch line. Look closely to see this amazing stitch work. She based this on a photo she had taken of the flower. You will look at this piece for a long, long while.  Amazing!

Elaine shared three works that have been juried into the Columbia Fiberarts Guild online exhibit. The theme is Color Play. These fit that theme quite well. Don't you agree!.
