Now to continue my updating with the shows I’ve entered so far this year.(I also have Ventura ArtWalk coming up July 19-20, so I will be making and sharing new work soon.)
Stoneworks Studios and Gallery, January 2, 2014. “Imagine That!” show. I entered How To Be An Artist, my SARK-inspired jacket and matching hat that I made several years ago, as well as a new crocheted hat shaped like a tiered cake (Crazy Cake Hat).

Stoneworks Studios and Gallery, February 7, 2014. “Some Like It HOT!” show. I made a new freeform crochet garment titled Here Comes The Sun for the show.

Stoneworks Studios and Gallery, March 7, 2014. “March Into Spring” show. I entered my wearable art piece (Her Roots Go Down) that I created for the 2013 International Freeform Fiberarts Challenge. I had also entered it in the Ventura County Arts Council’s “Tactile” show in June and July 2013. Thanks to my friend Mark Tovar for taking the photos, because as I ran out the door that night, my camera’s rechargeable battery was dead.

Stoneworks Studios and Gallery, April 4, 2014. “Things That Fly” show. I made a new small wall hanging (10″ x 13″) titled Learning to Fly. It hangs from a twig I found in my yard, and it features a lot of hand embroidered quilting. The text states, “then she grew her wings and she learned to fly…”

Stoneworks Studios and Gallery, May 2, 2014. “Heads Up!”, an exhibition of portraits. I created a new piece which is not fiber art. I wanted to experiment with drawing on inexpensive plates with permanent markers. This is Cosmic Friend.

Stoneworks Studios and Gallery, June 6, 2014. “The Alchemy of Elements” show. (Art inspired by Earth, Fire, Water, Air, and anything from the Periodic Table.) I created a freeform knit shawl (Air) and a freeform crocheted hood (Earth), with knit and crocheted leaves.
