A Really Big Show....

Dear Friends,
SUMMER TRIPTYCH (see post of August 4), ANCIENT PATTERNS (previously untitled; see post of March 26) and MOUNTAIN MAHOGANY (recently completed, see photos below) are part of the West Coast Fiber Arts Show opening this weekend at the Escondido Arts Partnership Community Gallery on Grand and Juniper in Escondido. escondidoarts.org
24 artists are participating, and I am grateful and honored to be one among them.
Mountain Mahogany is a prolific shrub of the Chaparral, found in altitudes ranging from about 2,000” to 6,000”. We are fortunate to have a few of them on our hillside, and Joel brought some cuttings to me one afternoon, thinking that I might want to weave them. Yes indeed!
Here’s a closeup of the cuttings, a peek at me working the fringe, and the finished work:
