SAQA Donation

This is Flutterby my donation piece to the SAQA fund raiser this year. It is currently part of the trunk show from the NY regional group.

It is a fabric collage butterfly created from a photograph. It contains sheer organza, velvets, chenilles, and decorator fabrics.  It is machine quilted and ready to hang. 

This is the the 20th anniversary of SAQA and I believe it has helped me more than anything else in becoming a better artist/

Well I haven't been posting much, but have made 3 fabric collages forVirginia Spiegel's  Collage Mania.  Having lost both parents to cancer this is a great fundraiser to support.

The first is a quilted collage called Winter Birds  using rusted fabris from Lois Jarvis.
The next is Winter House-----gee can you tell it was a long winter here?

The last is watercolor and fabric collage on watercolor paper of a Japanese Temple.
