Photos

If I could figure out how to put the photos where I want them, I'd be happy. These are two art quilts for the textile art exhibit I will be participating in at the North York Public Library with the FAT (Fibre Art Toronto) group I belong to. To get the creative juices started, we chose the theme of "Travel".
I was having difficulty getting started and I had my Pomegranate Guild challenge of "Eyshet Chayil" to do in the meantime. Once I got started on it, the ideas just started flowing. And I decided to fit my "Eyshet Chayil" into the "travel" theme by travelling back in time using Jewish texts and the printed word, which I believe is apt for a library exhibit. Just in case it's not clear, the lady in red is my "Eyshet Chayil" and her body parts are the actual text of Eshet Chayil. The other quilt is based on a poem by Ibn Gvirol, the text of which is printed on ribbon in the clouds. The clouds, btw, are from fabric samples Marilyn gave me.
I had fun making these pieces and hope the coming works will be equally as challenging and fun.
