fiber artist
I finished this Christmas project back in February (just a little bit late for donating for 2011), and finally got around to downsizing the image so that I could post it. Found a great technique for a finished lining and love the “stone” binding on the top. Hope to donate it for 2012 to the Cancer Center project.
I went a little crazy even … thankfully I finished 6 cards, but I have the beginnings of 13 more! One way to restock my card box I guess, since it was getting rather low. I’m thinking it is time to create more fun graffiti fabric to use in cards as well.
I love to make projects from recycled bits of fiber I use in other projects. It was too windy out yesterday to do much gardening without constant sneezing, so I enjoyed some down time making these cards.
Art coming in many shapes and sizes. Here is a bench from my brother’s projects while in Germany (on my driveway with my garden in the background). Fun!
Don’t demand authority.
Eagerly take responsibility.
Relentlessly give credit.
Wisdom: AACRC Fall 2011: In working toward a design for this installation, we the members of the Worship and Art interim class considered the passages of Proverbs 8 and Ecclesiastes 3.
There were many images that came to mind as a result of these passages. As a group, certain things stood out–one of them was the perception of Lady Wisdom who predominantly figured in our corporate minds in white flowing garb which has led to the back drop of white that you see in this piece.
We also looked at the description in Proverbs 8 of Wisdom’s presence everywhere–in the city and in nature as well as at home.
The depiction of a colorful globe represents this inclusiveness and the beauty of life with Wisdom in the times of abundance and the times of need.
Finally, the door way is the reminder that Wisdom is waiting at the door for our response and gives a sense of the security of being at home there.
