I gave them some pieces and was glad to see a slight reduction in the stuff lying around, especially the tapestry.
I was invited to be videotaped about what I was giving away. The only day I could manage was the day the works were being collected by the artists. There was such a good response that other artists were invited to come along and take bits and pieces that interested them.
Of course I came home with other people's unfinished works!
I have taken some needle tapestry pieces on canvas. One was finished and the other was only just begun. I scored a whole container of all the threads, sorted and labelled.
Both stories are a little sad in that both of the people whose work is was cannot see well enough anymore to finish it properly. But I hope to give them some pleasure in seeing their donations in a totally different setting.
We had a show and tell and working bee last Saturday. I did have an inkling of an idea, so took along some bits and pieces that might help to explain it.
But the pressure is on now - some of the people have finished items already, others are well on the way.
So I came home and started - what a relief.
I am changing my idea as I go, making it up really. I am being inspired by a workshop I did a while ago with Kay Khan, one with Olga Walters and the book Exploring Dimension in Quilt Art. I am not copying any of the ideas directly, just trying to meld them together to make some sort of vessel.
