SAQA Annual Auction - My Dream Collection

It's that time of year for the Studio Art Quilt Associates' (SAQA) benefit auction! This is an auction of art quilts made by SAQA members that are 12" x 12" in size.

As part of the auction, viewers of the quilts can create their own Dream Collection (favorites or selections based on a theme of interest). If you would like to create one, go to the website below, look through the art quilts while recording the titles of those you like best along with the artist. There is a form to complete, and you'll need the title to search for your selections. In a few cases, the artist name may be helpful, since multiple pieces can have the same or similar name.

Bidding for the quilts begins September 13th and runs through October 6th, and there will be more than 440 art quilts to choose from. More information is available at the link below.

Final Wheel-throw Pottery Batch

With this batch, I have 73 successful wheel-thrown pots and bowls...wow! That is aside from the nearly 40 fails. So over four months of classes and practice, I've thrown over 110 vessels. Florian Gadsby would be proud...as I've completed my first 100 throws that he advises getting done as soon as one can! I owe some of my learning to him and his videos (on YouTube), and the rest to the instructors, staff and students at BHC (the place I've done my work at since June). Thank you to all my teachers -- meaning all of you in one way or another!

Fine Art Restoration - video

This is an exceptional video of a fine art restoration...just beautifully done (and the music is lovely too)!

New Project in Progress

I'm working on a new project with multiple layers and shapes of different colored organzas. It is an interpretation of lighting on an ice rink...from a show I recently saw. There is a lot more stitching to do, but I like how its coming along. I'm learning organzas are not easy to work with especially when you layer them and have overlaid edges. The fabric also tends to ravel easily. This post also linked to http://ninamariesayre.blogspot.com .
