Visit the following link to see some of the art quilts that are in the 'Ties that Bind' exhibit which is a part of the Innovations in Textile event. The exhibit is at the Sheldon arts galleries in St. Louis, Mo. http://vimeo.com/29075618 Although I brought the textile group 'Fiber Coalition' to the gallery directors attention, which I am a member of, I chose not to create an art quilt for the exhibit.. I wanted to play around a little bit and do something a little different and unexpected of me, so I created three hats which you can see below. You can only see a hint of them in the video.
For the last couple of years I have been creating pieces with fabric remnants that I have available, the only thing that I have purchased is threads. The hats, which I no longer wore were floating from one space to another, so I decided to finally utilize them in a creative way. I created a muslin pattern of the shape of the hat and then did a fabric collage over the muslin. The first hat is titled 'Patch Work' and each hat shows two views, the second hat is titled ' Safari', and the third hat is titled 'Musical Topper' It was a fun gesture and I love the outcome.
