Donna and more pretties

Remember my Fiber Art Society project?

Well, here is an  summary of what is happening...

We are doing a collaborative art quilt,

a variation of the exquisite corpse,

based on a Gustav Klimt print.

Since it was my idea,

they gave me the head. 

This shows my finished block,

with hair, hand stitching here and there,

painted face,

and quilted.

This is Donna!

Each one of us (11 women I think),

are doing a different part of the print,

not seeing what the others are doing.

We were to finish it,

including quilting,

within 1/4 inch of the edges.

Then Laura,

brave and talented Laura,

is going to put all the blocks together.

I will continue to update you on our project

as we go along.

Now, on to more pretties...

This is a necklace and earrings

that my dear sister Lanette

made and gave to me.

She is just getting into jewelry making.

I just love this piece.

The pendant is Roman era glass,

which I just love!

Then she used jade and shell beads

for the rest of the necklace and earrings.

Thank you Lanette,

I love it!

Keep up the great work!

Lanette is doing this for fun she said.

Her primary work is

being a musician...

bass guitar player and singer.

Congrats to her and her band,

as they are 2nd year members

of the very hard to get into,

Texas Commssion on the Arts.

Find many ways to...

Savor the Day!
