Antique store in NY

The owner of this store seemed to be enchanted with faces and hats. I love the way he has this stuff displayed.

This was another little face that caught my attention.

High Fiber Meeting

We realized at our meeting yesterday that we are now over a year old. Penny Little is responsible for organizing High Fiber and I would like to thank Penny for her efforts. I am enjoying being a part of this enthusiastic, talented group of fiber artist. As I have said in past post we are using Susan Stein's book, "Fabric Art Workshop" and are experimenting with different processes each month. The technique this month was collage. Enjoy.

RUST! Who ever came up with the idea to rust fabric? I think that Sandy H. rusted some fabric in Bonnie Ouellette's dying workshop. Weather it was this that gave her the idea to do a piece of art about rusty cars doesn't matter. Sandy is in the process of putting together
a fun fiber art piece abandoned cars in the desert. Can't wait to see this one progress.

Penny L. who is responsible for starting this great group brought this neat collage. Penny truly loves African and Indonesian fabric. I love the big stitches and the tied stitches. I really suits this piece.

Penny L. brought a note book that she has been embellishing. I think she took this class at Houston last year. Penny is going to use this note book to hold her mini art quilts. This is the front cover.

Judy showed us a new technique she learned from the ArtDigest Group. This is a method for hanging small pieces of fiber art. Judy made two small sleeves on each side of the back and inserted a small piece of wood. She then added a picture hanger to the center.
