Excursion to Lowell

I've been having problems posting any pictures here on my blog, which is why I haven't posted at all for awhile.  Sorry 'bout that.  If anyone else is experiencing this please LMK, especially if you know how to fix it.


Anyhooo... some nots on last Saturday's excursion to Lowell! Our small group of 6 fiber artists met at the Lowell Studio Lofts on Western Avenue.


 Tarja Cockell is one of our small group members and she has a studio there where you can see some of her beautiful work!  She's a vibrant, talented, local artist! Check her out at the next Open House  in March.


 I also got to meet some other fiber artists who are members of  Lowell Fiber Studio , one of whom was Linda Dunn, another incredibly talented local!


They are both in the same building, but it's a huge space, so if you're going to see them, Tarja is in Studio A 412, and Linda is in A Studio 512,  just one floor up.


Meanwhile I'm still involved in classwork in Pam Allen's online class.  Let's try it this way linking to Picasa: Here's another recent small art quilt that I made for the class I've been in, using only black and white fabric - no greys - you have to make your greys by way of illusion.

So many WIPs, but finally I finished another small art quilt that I've been working on.  It started as a gel print on muslin and went on to a number of manifestations.  It's first manifestation was this:

 

After some more free motion quilting and going at it with some fabric pastels, the journey finally ended here:

In two different lighting situations.

Do you prefer the before or the after?
