Scarves on the Line

We had a good day at the Haverhill Farmers Market. It was opening day and there were 20 or so vendors with fresh herbs, veggies, bread, honey, tasty sweets and more. I had note cards, small mixed media prints and my hand dyed shibori scarves. The Haverhill Art Association was represented by Mike Gould and myself. Several people told me it was their first time to the Market even though they live in Haverhill and the market has been around since the 1970’s. Maybe it was the new location or maybe more folks want to eat local. I look forward to next week. I saw old friends and made some new ones too. That has to be a good day. Stay Cool!

Creating a series of Mixed media prints

Prints in Progress

So I just joined a critique group at the Essex Art Center and my thoughts are spinning. The whole process is designed to support each artist and to give the artist control over the form structure and focus of the crit. We have a great facilitator, Cathy Mclaurin and a committed group of artists. I am excited. Each time I start a class or group I am reminded of how much that kind of support helps me to get in to the studio and do the work. My goal is to create a series of black bird prints. I am going to do the work and ask questions after. I think I will research birds and art a bit too.

Black birds, shibori and stitching

Untitled each 5.5″ x 5.5 “

original print on shibori dyed fabric with machine quilting

I love these bird stencils that I cut. I was afraid to ruin the print below and have been torturing myself with how to finish it off. So I made these small prints and played with machine quilting. They look good in a 10″ square frame with a mat. I have been thinking about why I might be attracted to the crow/raven. They are everywhere, especially at the farm. They are known to be intelligent, communicators, soloist and from the dark side of self.
