Just finished a beginning drawing class.  I have never been good at drawing, but the teacher was very encouraging.   Used Prisma color pencils.  Hoping this will advance my fiber art experience.

Three postcards I made to donate for Pokey Bolton's fundraiser at IQF Houston.  Guess I was in an orange mood when I picked the fabrics.  http://pokeysponderings.com/

I made this 18" x 18" quilt with men's suit material as the background.  The calacas were cut from lightly rusted cotton.  The "clothes" and "shoes" were made from a men's tie and men's shirting material.  I added a few embellishments and the twisted yarn around the edge.  This will debut at Artistic Artifacts, Alexandria VA on October 22, 2011.
