MIA
I know I've been missing in action on this blog for over a week, but it's all been for a good reason. One week ago I left for St. Louis to take a paper & cloth collage workshop with Fran Skiles. It was one of the best workshops I have ever taken, and the techniques I learned will solve some dilemmas that I have had with my recent studio work. Below are some samples of the work I did in the workshop.

I so wish I had been there with you. I love her work. Yours here is yummy!
These are fabulous, Karen! I love how you have loosened up a bit with these. :) My only complaint is that I wish your photos were a bit bigger so we can see the details better. (hint, hint)
LOL, Becky! Hopefully I just fixed that, but you never know with Blogger. To some extent, they make the photos the size they want them.
Karen, these are great. Love 'em. I don't see the stitching, but I'll take your word for it. Are you coming through this weekend?
Karen,
These are gorgeous! The new font looks like Courier, and indeed I don't see stitching either. But still: gorgeous..

Lovely!
I envy the class with Fran Skiles...I would love to study with her!
Nice new work!
Thanks, everyone! I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop, and I love this new direction for my work.
These samples really speak to me... the text, the texture, the stitching, the colors. Fantastic!!
