W’s Mother had this to say. after touring the Astrodome:
?¢‚Ǩ?ìAlmost everyone I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ve talked to says ?¢‚ǨÀúwe?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢re going to move to
Houston.’ What
I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢m hearing, which is sort of scary, is they all want to stay in Texas.
Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality. And
so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged
anyway, so this – this is working very well for them.?¢‚Ǩ¬ù
I just have to say, "Now we know where W gets his diplomacy from!"
I just finished a small quilt for Laura’s Art Doing Good Project and I have one that I started in a class with Mrs. Mel, that I am donating. It is always scary to put your work out there for sale next to work by artists like Liz Berg.
This is Leaf Construction III. The leaves on the left section are printed on silk from a scan of real leaves I collected last fall, with an overlay of bronze organza. The center leaf is screen printed. The leaf on the bottom is stamped. The leaves on the top are very fragile leaves that I found at the art store that I have appliqued and I hope they survive, but the laciness of them is so pretty. Most of the fabric is hand-dyed silk. The other fabric is a piece of antique Japanese textile.
This is the little piece from my series that I did in Mrs. Mel’s class:
These are both about 8.5 X 11 inches. Go check out the site and buy some art and do some good.
For my blogging fans who have been following my Princess Bad Hair Day problems, I took the plunge and went to a new stylist. Liz Berg saw me last week at the Marin Quilt show and said your red, spiky air is gone. So I knew I had to do something. Andrea is very nice and not unlike Cynthia in personality. So here is a view of my new color and cut:
It is not too bad. I have to see how it looks once I have washed and styled it. So it is Princess Not So Bad Hair Day!!
great to see the hair back. Love the quilts you sent to Artdoinggood…I was interested in one but it sold. Way to go on your Hanlon acceptance and the judges comments at Marin!
Your hair looks great! Are you still happy with it after doing your own wash/style? (That’s always the acid test of a cut!)
LOVE the leaf quilt!!
And BB…that one has had me shaking my head for days. I’m sure I’m not the only one who read that story and heard “let them eat cake” in my head.
i like the hair!
i LOVE LOVE LOVE the art and can’t wait to see it in the cloth.
lucky me, i get tosee all sorts of new and wonderful things.
love your red spikes and your leaf quilt,
BB’s blunder got all the way across the to this side of the pond,
Love both of these. And your hair, you go girl!
Hair looks spikey, red and cute! I think you have your style back 🙂 Love the quiltlet. Jen
First, when you live in an expensive downtown penthouse and in River Oaks, I guess the Astrodome just looks like a big room that needs decorating….what an amazing faux pas. Second, love the leaf quilt and looks like you may have found a new stylist…great red, spiky hair.
I love your hair! And your art!
Richard Nixon (who now seems like a sweetie pie in comparison to what we have now) once said something about Barbara Bush being the meanest of all the Bushes…how astute of him.
the barbara bush comment just totally blew me away — been reading reports of it (and other blunders daily)…love your leaf quilt! you have inspired me to try making little quilts (okay you and the gals of gees bend)…got a janet bolton book from the library yest and hope to play with shapes this weekend…meant to tell you i loved that picture of you from college! and your hair looks fine 😀
