'holy trinity', juried into 'Three'

'holy trinity ...' (2010)

I am happy to announce that my fiber piece, 'holy trinity ...' was accepted into Attleboro Arts Museum's National Juried Exhibition, "Three", which opens this Thursday and runs through to July 13th.  I am honored to be included in this group of artists from all over the country.  And as always it is such a joy to participate in anything that Mim Fawcett and the incredible AAM staff are doing with their lovely museum.

'holy trinity ...' is part of my 'creatures' series.  The series consisted of fiber pieces that I crochet in an intuitive and organic manner.  I usually start with a certain color and a variety of yarn, once I begin crocheting I just follow the piece's lead.

Many of my 'creatures ...' have beads.  Each piece in 'holy trinity ...' has a word bead, 'strength', 'wisdom' and 'trust', along with other beads.  When exhibiting my 'creatures ...' I prefer to let the curator decide how to display the piece, adding another organic element to the 'creature ...' I wonder how 'holy trinity ...' will be exhibited in this exhibit?!?!

opening this thursday atthe Attleboro Arts Museum.

I am also pleased to announce that the Attleboro Arts Museum's gift shop is carrying some of my merchandise.  Last week I delivered dressproject notecards, tote bags, mugs and a wonderful collection of my mini buttons.  Below are the pictures that Attleboro posted on their Instagram account.

So if you can make a trip to Attleboro and stop by the museum.  If possible, come by this Thursday evening, June 14th, 7-9pm, and join in the fun of the opening reception.  For all information about the exhibit and reception, the details are listed below or click on this link here: the AAM's website

just saying ... it's cyber monday

new 2018 dailydress calendar on redbubble

Tis the season once again, to find that perfect gift for a loved one or to show your appreciation, and with today being #cybermonday it may be a good day to start the fun.  Below are photos of just a few of the products available in my online society6 and redbubble shops and today these web sites are offering big discounts and some free shipping.  I have added the direct link to the products in the captions, below each photo, just in case anything below catches your eye. 

Also these sites offer the work of many designers and artists and when you buy any of the products from these sites, the artist gets a percentage of the sale.  So if you buy a product with my design Society6 and Redbubble produce and ship the item and then if you are happy with your purchase they give me a percentage of the sale.  Lastly, but very important, both sites have great refund policies, see more about that below.  

Also you can click one of the above links in the menu to go directly to one of my online shops.

Happy surfing and Enjoy!! XXX
