Art Cloth Before and After

Jane Dunnewold, who as anyone who reads me regularly knows is a mentor, friend and shining beacon in my life, has published a new blog as the venue for an art cloth challenge she issued last year. From a pool of "applicants" she chose a group of us to develop a piece of art cloth from a two-yard challenge piece that she sent-- all identically dyed with mixing blue with a series of small bound-resist circles down the middle of the length.The site is at: Art Cloth Challenge 2008 <http://artclothchallenge.blogspot.com/>

Now the results are in and up on-line at site. Scroll down near the end to find out more about the piece I made, after you've taken time to read the others! Warning: this is a return-to site. There's so much to learn about approach, process, the creative journey, the paths that different artists take from the same impulse and materials. I'm still reading and enjoying!

A friend send me this comment by email! I agree!

"Thanks sooooooooo much for sharing the information and pictures from the Art Cloth Challenge. It’s very inspirational and instructive for me to see how different artists can transform the same piece of cloth. I printed out all 43 pages, so that I can refer to it over and over again."

I saw this on Jane's blog or site or whatever and thought it looked wonderful,Susie. I opted not to apply to do that challenge - it looked overwhelming. But if she does it again, I may just. I am really inspired by what you did her.

I also visited the challenge blog last week and I really liked your piece. Congratulations on creating a luscious length of art cloth.
