Winner in Midland

This is one of my newest fused pieces. I called it Colors for obvious reasons. I tried to use just my scraps to do it with and ended up adding a few Kaffe Fassett fabric pieces to it too. This was fused using my simple technique that I do all of mine with. It was interesting how long it actually takes to do a piece that is simply blended colors from one to the other. I entered it in our local guild show, Midland Artists Guild, and just found out I won Best of Show! It is very exciting to be recognized like that especially since it really is the first abstract fused piece I have ever done. I don't normally do abstract. But it was different and I like different. I also have just learned that my piece, Port of Cassis, was accepted into the AQS Show in Paducah which is also very exciting!

I want to mention that if anyone is near Midland, Michigan, this month, you can see the MAG Art Show at the Midland Grace A. Dow Memorial Library. We have many great artists that have their pieces also in the show. Check it out! Next week to Spain! I have already been asked to come back and teach at other venues in Spain. I guess I might have to brush up on my non-existent Spanish. It's a little like French I guess though.
