"Water" Travelling Show...

As some of you may remember, my piece, Ode to Dr. Seuss was accepted into the Threadworks juried fibre art show earlier this year. It was also was selected to be part of the travelling show.

These photos were recently shared with me, showing the exhibit as it is displayed at the Temiskaming Art Gallery.  I must say it's pretty awesome seeing my work hanging in a gallery!

Threadworks Fibre Art Show: April 20 - June 4

I'm thrilled to announce that my piece, "Ode to Dr. Seuss" has been accepted into Threadworks, a juried fibre art show.

This piece was made with machine felting, hand embroidery and beading, free motion quilting, three dimensional fish and a nod and a wink to Dr. Seuss.  You see, there are two fish, each about 4 inches long and heavily beaded.  One fish is red, the other blue.

Threadworks is a juried exhibition of needle arts, and the theme of this year's show is "Water".

The show runs from April 20 to June 9 at the Wellington County Museum and Archives in Fergus, ON and then will spend the next three years traveling to museums and galleries across Ontario.

Threadworks is a special project of Ontario Network of Needleworkers' in association with Wellington County Museum and Archives.
