Belles
at the Ball was juried into the 5th Contemporary Art
Exhibition at the Museum of Northern History in Kirkland Lake, ON before I left to go California and Arizona.
While visiting at my daughter's, I received an email telling me that I had won the Open House Viewer's Choice.
While visiting at my daughter's, I received an email telling me that I had won the Open House Viewer's Choice.
I was surprised, excited and very proud to get this award.
The call
for entry to artists across Ontario was for miniatures of 2
dimensional, 3 dimensional, perfomance or video works of art. Works had to be 12" x 12" or smaller.
45
artists from 10 different locations responded and a panel of jurors
selected 30 to be included into the exhibit.
Among
the 30, three entries were chosen to receive a 1st, 2nd
and 3rd place award.
The viewer's choice award was chosen by visitors during the Open House.
Belles
at the Ball started out as a finger painted mono print. After running out of white and black solids, I decided to do a few prints on some
hand painted fabric.
This is
what the mono print looked like:

I
immediately saw women's shape and stitched those out on the quilt sandwich before filling
the background with a free motion design.
The
piece was mounted on a 12” x 12” canvas.
Look at
the lovely prizes I received for Viewer's Choice:

Великолепно! Очень нравится
Arrived here via Off the Wall Friday. I just want to say that this is a truly inspiring piece. Congratulations on your success.
I am visiting from SewCalGal's fmq link up, and have decided to stay and look around. You sure have an eye for detail! Love the texture you are achieving in your pieces through the variety of fmq patterns that you stitch. You are very inspirational!
Like Deborah, I arrived via Off the Wall Friday (what a great thing that is) and love this! I love the fact that you started with a painted piece of fabric. Stunning!
