My Lady and I were in an Art Show this past weekend. What a great reception we had!
While packing to go, I came across a quilt I had made back in 2009, 8 short long years ago.
She was incredible in her darkness and Art.
I titled her "Me and My Shadow". I believe it was for a local quilt shop challenge.
Either way, the look and feel of this one compared to my latest works is quite remarkable.
The fabric was dyed by me. (which reminds me, I need to play in Dye again.)
I see her face, and remember trying to fit the yarn behind the circle. Weird how I had that concept, to create that way.
The murky dark colors swirled with light are quite stunning; when you understand that often our art is our subconscious speaking.
At the show on Saturday, I had a number of people comment on Me.
In that, they can't believe my transformation. Words, like glowing, alive, energized, that I swallowed my Art...etc.
My Ladies, had their fair share of compliments too. How lucky am I that others love how I play with color and design.
I love that we both are transforming, growing and it shows!
My daughter posted a quote. "You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have." By Oscar Wilde
This quote is so true, in my experience. I can't know when I will run out of art. But, each time I arrive in the basement to play, ideas abound!
The enthusiasm I felt from the show itself will fuel me for weeks and months.
I have come a long way baby!!
