6TH INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION of Mini Textiles

will be the vacation spot for two of my works. Accepted for inclusion are Self Portrait Eye, and Mindfulness and Compassion bowl.
The catalog from exhibit can be seen here.

A review, here states that the best works were from..... Kevan Lunney...

Three fun facts about this city, 

1. I haven't been there but my art work has! 

2. Tarpan (Equus ferus ferus, also known as the Eurasian wild horse) is an extinct subspecies of wild horse. The last individual believed to be of this subspecies died in captivity here in 1909.

3. Solomon Rosenblum, later known as Lieutenant Sidney Reilly, was a secret agent, international adventurer and playboy who was at one time employed by the British Secret Intelligence Service. He is reputed to be the real inspiration for Ian Fleming's spy character, James Bond. Somehow, Bond, James Bond rolls off the tongue easier than Rosenblum, Solomon Rosenblum.

And now you know the rest of the story!  How cool is that?

Newspaper Sculpture

Newspaper Sculpture
I can't believe what got into me!

I have been mulling over sculptural shapes for  2 years now. I would love to be doing bronzes but they are quite expensive and storage is a problem and then there is the concern about how to get them to shows?  Obviously sculptors have answers to a whole world of concerns that fiber artists don't need to worry about. So anyway, I got something out of my head and into reality. It is just crumpled newspaper and masking tape. I should have taken process photos but I was in the flow. At one point it looked more female and she had a flurry of newspaper ruffles flaming from the back of her head. It was really pretty. I will definitely revisit this.
