Dimensions 2015

Whoopee!

2015

I just found out... Prairie City is heading off on a 2 year tour!  I'm so honoured to have my work selected for Dimensions again.  WOW.  I was away in Melfort during the SK Craft Council jurying and critique events, so I was not ablt to see which 35 craft pieces were selected.  I got my phone call notification while on the road during a bout of laryngitis.  lol  That was the most difficult conversation ever.  : )  The good news is I'll be able to see them all in Regina when they have their first exhibition.  The MacKenzie Art Gallery dates are May 23 - August 16, 2015.  In Sept/Oct they will be in Whitehorse!  : )

This is the piece that was selected.  Here are some images I took during the creation phase.  I did some free motion stitching on this, but by the time I was done, it was days of handwork accumulated.

Prairie City has a new owner, so she won't be for sale on this tour.  She's Blooming (which toured with Dimensions 2013) is available and on exhibit in Melfort.

Have a great day, and congrats to the group!

Oh yes. When she asked to purchase, I told her I had reservations as I was hoping to enter this in Dimensions. She gave the go ahead and will be getting it once the tour is over.
