On Wednesday, I dragged Steve to a small art exhibit, Intertwined, in Waitsfield, Vt at the Festival Gallery. We had a lovely afternoon out together. We had lunch at Kismet in Montpelier, Vt. We started with a kale salad with a very garlicky dressing - we were fighting over the last few pieces. The entree was a buckwheat crepe Benedict, also plate-licking good! Num, num, num...
Oh, yeah, this is supposed to be about the show!
It took a bit of driving back and forth in Waitsfield before we found the gallery. Sugarbush ski area is nearby, so there is more to the town than you would expect in the middle of Vermont - we hadn't driven quite far enough through town. We walked in to the gallery and we were greeted by a beautiful black lab, who, when he found out we didn't have any treats, lost interest in us. There was a nice variety of techniques on display, from a fairly traditional wall quilt in the style of Ruth McDowell to basketry to finely knit items. Two that I thought were particularly interesting were by Elizabeth Fram : Dawn Patrol and Shadow Walk. Using just the image of the shadow changes the perspective a great deal. The show closed today, so I am very glad we made it out there.

My long arm is empty!
Here is what just came off
It's all one piece at the moment - probably not a method taught be Handi-Quilter, but I don't follow rules very well anyways. They just need to be cut apart and then I can start painting!
Last night we got to see Bill Cosby perform. Since the Fat Albert show started when I was about 5, I don't remember not knowing the name Bill Cosby. He is 75 now and just as funny as ever. It was truly a treat to see such an icon in person.
Your feathers are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mary Ann! But they are all just tracing at this point... I would not come anywhere close to that doing it freehand.
