I entered two small pieces in the local Richter Art Association members' show and was so surprised and delighted to be awarded a first place. In previous years they had not accepted fiber. Mine were the only fiber pieces there and I was amused that they chose to group them with pastels and graphic art. I'm not complaining, I took my cash award and ran. Not really; they had a lovely reception with live piano music and refreshments, so I stayed for awhile and chatted with the other artists attending. It was a splendid spring day so there weren't too many there.
You've seen this piece before, "Recapitulation", it was done for a FANE (Fiber Artists of the Northeast) show a couple of years ago. It's a small quilt, 12" x 12" , mounted on an 18" square white artist's canvas. It is made using my hand-dyed fabrics and some Dupioni silk.
