Fibers & Forms at the Grand Manse Gallery

The artists: Katie & Nora

On Friday, December 2, we had a great opening reception of the show "Fibers & Forms" at the Grand Manse Gallery. The show was made up of paper constructions by Nora Rolf and my own felted pieces. Many thanks to everyone who came out to see us!

September to October 4

I'm calling this arrangement "September", and I'll return to individual photos for October. Too many things have been going on, and that's what I am choosing to let go of. But I spent Tuesday arranging a new grid of t-pins on my studio wall so that I'm ready to hang October as soon as I get each piece through the process. I have most of the felt made for the entire month, but since I am trying to walnut dye everything this month some are waiting to go into the same dye pot and many are waiting to be stretched onto frames. So far I'm very excited at the variety of browns I'm able to get from the same (free!) seed. I haven't been as excited about the smell and the mold that starts to grow after soaking the walnuts in water for weeks. Oh the things I never expected  would come from being a fiber artist! 

Below are my first few days of October, all walnut dyed after the felting stage.
