I M Perfect lady


A long way baby!

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.

    Yes, you have come a long way, Beth, an amazing long way. Your quilts definitely tell a story. Who knew when you started with the art quilts how they would evolve? The quilts and the lady (in the quilts and the creator) just keep evolving! This is what I love about art and people who make it.

    You sure have! I love your art, and I doubt that you will ever use up your creativity! Someday I hope to see some of your work in person.
