Niagara Region textile and mixed-media project - I'm in!!!

The Niagara Region Textile and Mixed-Media Project - 

sounds yummy, doesn't it?

It's going to be a permanent exhibit for the region,

and I am one of the 14 artists working on it!

I'm so excited to be part of something like this - 

it's like being part of the history of Niagara - YAY!

So these are the three pieces I had submitted 

for the juried selection.  The actual piece I'll be 

working on will be about 2 feet by 5 feet - that's big!

They'll tell us exactly what it'll be in a few days.

I do know that it will be based on the Niagara Escarpment.

I thought it would be a good idea to show a mix of techniques...

This one is lots of fabric collage and hand-stitching...

 

 

This one has beading as the main focus...

And this one is all about playing with texture...

there's paint, machine-stitching, layering...

All three pieces are in frames and behind glass,

so it's not the best pics I took...

I'll find out more about the project soon - 

April 3 is the day!
