Wide 5/16/08
Mulberry paper, linen thread, narrow and"wide" ribbon. Not too many thoughts on the word - wide.
Electricity 5/9/08
Cotton, decorative thread and pieces of
paper
"stuffing"
that The Eclectic Collector in Katonah uses for safe guarding your purchase.
Seed 5/2/08
Silk, paper, decorative thread, rayon, copper metal and beads. This little piece has led to several other
"Seeds" which are larger and are being shown in various venues.
Primative 4/18/08
This is one of my favorite 4" pieces. Mulberry paper, hand dyed cheese cloth flat stones from a beach in Nova Scotia, thread and rafia.
Save4/4/08
Paper, cotton, paint and rayon thread. It seems like it's getting harder and harder to save the earth....or is it 24/7 news hype? What ever happened to acid rain? In 15 years from now, will we say - what ever happened to the ocean swallowing up New York City?
Pet Peeves 3/21/08
Wire, paper, cotton, decorative and rayon thread.
It's probably impossible to guess my pet peeve, but if I told you, this little art piece would make sense.
Heavy 3/14/08
Cotton, decorative thread, and a fringe made by Linda Oehler-Marx to keep herself from being very frustrated.

CQ Memories
This past Saturday, The Country Quilter closed. I have been a part of the store from the very beginning, the summer of 1990. The shop and the wonderful women who have worked there have enriched my life in so many ways - allowing me to become a teacher, helping me to open my own pattern company, Design and Planning Concepts, and more recently, providing the atmosphere where I am transitioning from more traditional quilting to making art quilts. Claire Oehler and Jane Davila have been both friends and inspirational quilters. I thanked Claire with this "art" piece, constructed on an empty fabric bolt and covered with memories from the last 18 years.
Tipping Point
In December, '07, I decided to challenge myself to create a 4" art piece using the words from IllustrationFriday website. I would do one a week for a year and use paper in each piece. In September, '08, I was at a Tipping Point - about 4 months behind. I managed to catch up and completed 50 little works by December 31, 2008. The last two are awaiting photos which seem to be lost in my house.
Multiply? 2/22/08
I need better glasses. I thought the word was multiply and I happily layered two papers, painted a bit for depth, collaged my numbers and covered the whole thing with matte gel. Then I reread the website and found out the word was "multiple", not multiply. Well, I have multiple numbers!
