February 2018 Bafa Meeting

Members presented their color design exercise for February - secondary color plus its split compliments (Fig. 1-3).  Our selected journal page word for February was Holiday.  (Fig. 3-9). Word for March is Tranquility.  Classwork and show and tell was presented (Fig. 10-12 and 13-16).  Dot repurposed an old Judy Murrah pattern into a background for her stitchwork class with Lydie (Fig. 12) and Jean covered a flipflop with fiddlystick motifs (Fig. 13).  Lydie plans to donate a book or two to the Boutique at the Golden Triangle Quilt Show and Market, April 13-14.

SAQA Spotlight Auction Work 2018

This little acrylic (fabric paint and pigmented inks) collage study (see Fig. 1 below) was originally created to explore depth using commercial stamps and my own rubbing plates.  The subtle, barely exposed patterning in some areas and more pronounced in others made it a successful effort, I thought.  See Fig. 2 to see what the work will look like with a 3/4" mat all around.

SAQA Regional TEXtiles Exhibit

Coming Ashore (see Figures 1-2) will be appearing at the SAQA Regional TEXtiles Exhibit at the Drury Hotel, San Antonio, Tx., during the 2018 SAQA Conference, April 5-8.  The work is about the never-ending timelessness of the act itself and, upon discovery, wondering where my water-washed and deteriorated "beach treasures" came from, how long did it take them to reach shore and what were they once when they were whole.
