School of Fish

This school of fishes are fabric postcards that I took to the Elverhoj Museum to sell in the boutique there. The fabric backgrounds were painted with thickened dyes on cotton sateen, then screenprinted with seaweed and fish. The fish were machine quilted and embellished with rhinestone eyes and studs in various places. Tonight is the big Christmas celebration at the Elverhoj - I hope some of the revelers want to give these little guys a good home!

First Christmas Party of the Season

Here are some photos from the first Christmas party I've been to this season. It was the Fibervision gathering at Linda's house and the food theme was Mexican. We did a great job! The feast included Margaritas, Sangria, taquitos pappas, tamales, enchiladas, rice and beans, posole with all the extras, about three or four salads, including my Ensalada de Noches Buenas, and chocolate treats for dessert. After lunch we shared some of our Revision 2007 projects and some other fiber arts and then we had a fabric exchange. Most of the fabrics we exchanged were created by each person, a few were special commercial purchases, and all of it was spectacular. What a wonderful afternoon with a group of talented and creative women.
