Postcards

I have started doing some postcards. They are such fun. Here are a couple that are finished. Hopefully I will have lots done by June and can have them for sale in our annual Art in the Garden event. I am not really sure how much to have them for sale for, if anyone out there has an idea it would be greatly appreciated. I think that 30% will go to benefit our local Grants Pass Museum of Art, which is a great thing. I have lots of ideas, birds, flowers, Oriental, just lots. Will post as I get them done.

Rogue Art Quilter continued

Hi, I am not really sure how to publish my photos very well yet. Seems if I write first and then try and enter a photo from picassa it imports all the photos instead of just the ones I want. Anyway, I am doing it with separate posts for the writing. The photos below are represented by Nestle Crunch Bar, M & M's, Almond Joy, Dots, Life Savers and KandyKorn.
I pulled my Tarot yesterday on the Vernal Equinox, and the cards really told me what direction I should go. I have been sort of disenchanted lately by show rejects, the cost to enter shows, and sort of deciding to just give away all of my art quilts to my family and friends. The cards say different. I can give them away if I want, but also that I must share my talents, face the world head on, act and step forth. I must also accept recognition, which is very hard for me. The cards also say that a wondrous event is about to take place, and that I must overcome my doubt and fear, trust my decisions and aim towards the light. They say that I will also have a wonderful revolution filled with new inspiration. I must energize my spirit, and devote my time with the utmost love to carrying out the work I do, that I must soar higher. Every card coincided with the others. Now I know my direction. I will try and do an art quilt a week and see where it carries me.

Fabric of vision show

Here are some photos of our art quilt groups latest show in a beautiful fabric store called Fabric of Vision. Lots of great talent. The theme was candy, we all chose a candy bar and made our quilt from our vision of that candy. Some people were quite literal and other abstract. The whole show looked very cohesive and was very fun.
