| Random Act of Kindness - Fabric Gift from Deborah Stanley | |
|
|
Sometime ago I wrote a blog entry about how the writings of famed choreographer, Twyla Tharp, in her book,
The Creative Habit: Learn It and Use It for Life,
had motivated me to start every morning with the practice of freemotion
quilting. At our last meeting I shared a growing work of joined
practice pieces which was beginning to take on a life of its own. I
always have a stack of 6" square sandwiches of fabric and batting
sitting at my sewing table so that I don't have to fish around for
practice fabric each morning. Today, much to my amazement and delight,
Deborah Stanley
presented me with a fantastic array of pre-cut fabrics and batting to
use in my freemotion practice each morning. Not only is Deborah a fine
artist but she consistently seeks to mentor others. She is penultimately
smart and kind, characteristics that do not always walk together in one
human being
Under Deborah's leadership the Southern California
Artistic Expressions group met today for an inspirational three hours to share our exhibits, the current delphinium group project that has been accepted into the Mancuso Houston show, and to discuss various topics that centered on creativity and artistry. This is my rendition of the delphinium floral theme that will be with the exhibit.

Thank you Linda! Thank you for promoting Artistic Expressions, a WONDERFUL group of artists!! The Delphinium Field is slated to tour 7 Mancuso shows across the US from May 2013 through February 2014. So jazzed - such a fabulous opportunity for the group! best to you all!
ReplyDeleteWow, Deborah! Seven Mancuso shows is phenomenal. Thank you so much for promoting the group's work. You're the very best!
DeleteHi Linda - I ordered "Art and Fear" and Twyla Tharp's book. Looking forward to reading them and discussing with you. Your "Flora Lure" is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHi Mia. The "Art and Fear" book is a quick, easy and insightful book and the Twyla Tharp book is one that you can dip into at any point and come away with a pearl of wisdom to think about, So glad you like "Floral Lure". I've had great fun making it, even though I thought I'd never finish making all the individual petals.
