Coming back to posting,had a busy month of May participated in two art exhibits both beautifully done. "Dreams on Canvas" hosted by Circle of Care at the Four Seasons Hotel in Westlake. Fiber 2010 West at Studio Channel Islands Art Gallery. As a result of the Studio Channel Islands Show I have become a member and have work in the gallery store. Sitting here today and reflecting on how I am embracing recycling as a theme in my art. The first really recycled piece I created was my credit card purse " Deficit Spending" which I made from credit cards, telephone wire, coins, with a lining of digitally printed fabric. I enjoyed the process and am contemplating another piece as I have a more cards to recycle.
My second recycled piece is called "ReLeaf" and could be worn as a wrap or hung on a wall. This piece was made from recycled sweaters, wool yarn and roving. I am liking this reusing of materials and wanting to do more work.
