Liking the Art Work of Beatriz Milhazes (Brazil)

A recent article from a Tate Etc. publication introduced me to an artist that I really like -- unknonwn to me before.  She is Beatriz Milhazes from Brazil.  Currently, there is a retrospective of her work on display at the Tate St. Ives  museum located in Porthmeor Beach, St. Ives, Cornwall, Great Britain -- through September 29th.  

The Exhibition Guide (at the link below) has some other wonderful examples of Ms. Milhazes' portfolio.  It reminds me of the work of American graphic designer/collage artist Rex Ray.  Both have approached their art using geometric forms, bright colors, and have included collage elements as part of their creations.


Ms. Milhazes is also on Instagram where you can see many more works including this modern/abstract stained glass window done for Turner Contemporary's Sunley Gallery window.

Here is her Instagram link:

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.

Fabric Basket - Pretty Easy

This basket was made in Jane Hall's half-day course at IQF 2014.  The greatest amount of time involved in making it--was cutting and sewing the strips together.  Otherwise, it went together easily and quickly (3 hours). These baskets are a great holiday gifting idea that you can match to family and friends' home decoration color schemes.  They're fun and useful besides.
