Art of the Day. Here's the cotton/wool handwoven scarf from yesterday after washing and drying. The wool shrinks and the cotton does not, creating this ripple, bubbly texture.

Art of the Day. Have to finish this collapse weave scarf for my Free Weavers Study Group on Tuesday. The collapse part comes after I finish twisting the fringe and wash it in the machine. The wool shrinks and the cotton does not, creating a puckered texture.

Art of the Day. I took yesterday's fiber art piece that I hated and cropped it into 9-inch squares. Those look better and are more manageable than the larger piece. But I think I overdid it on the stitching with this one. I need to learn restraint. I'm not sure the blue denim is doing it any favors.

Art of the Day. I've been working on this fiber art piece all day, and I hate it. It needs a lot more work, and I don't want to do it. It's not fun. I'm thinking of cutting it up into manageable bite-sized pieces and playing with mixed media on them.

Art of the Day. Limited access to materials today because the water has been off most of the day. I didn't want to make a mess I couldn't clean up, so I went with graphite pencil, crayon resist, watercolors and sumi ink.

Art of the Day. Words cut from magazines collaged onto paper and then sanded down to give them a weathered look. Crayon resist, watercolor paint, and sumi ink with some washing in between to remove some of the collage and make the piece look old and distressed.
