Seeing Red and the Royal Wedding - April 2011

Red Offering, my multi-media work in progress, was presented to Designing Weavers at our April meeting. Created in response to our guild's theme Seeing Red, I've been fooling around with the projection of red-based photographs onto translucent layers of silk organza - a mysterious and beautiful interplay of light, shadow, and fleeting images, with lots of potential for further exploration. Guild members were so helpful with their remarks - it reminded me why I so enjoy this talented group of weavers. http://www.designingweavers.com/

My alternate fiber discovery for the month is Knit Your Own Royal Wedding by Fiona Goble, a fun and timely salute to the nuptials of William and Catherine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJwTejGSb5k

If you want to knit one of these figures, I'm sponsoring a Tea for Two grand drawing through  yarn shops I work with. So if you live in So CA or AZ, contact your yarn shop for details, grab your needles and have at it!
