I had a nice play around early this morning, designing and putting in place this header to sit across the top of the entry prospectus the Oceania: Distance And Diversity<\/em> exhibition next May. The basics have already been announced, and the actual detailed prospectus will be sent to all SAQA Oceania region members in the next few days. I asked a few people to send me quilt images to use (there’s a slice of each one of them) and I added landscape elements from my own photos. Someone kindly commented the result captures the sense of our part of the world, which is just how I hoped it would read: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I often collage photos rather than post them in full one by one, and this next photo covers the auditioning, Phase 1. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fine hand woven blue Japanese cotton fabric I bought at a fibre conference or symposium at least<\/em> 15 years ago, and was right at the back of my cupboard exactly where I expected to be. Untouched since I brought it home, though it has a lovely texture and I have always adored it, I’ve never considered using it – as I almost never make anything using a lot of blue. this fabric was deliciously expensive, and as it’s sat there unused, I’ve occasionally wondered why the heck did I buy it? Only a fibre artist would understand this perplexing conundrum. Now, since I’m thinking about the phrase ‘girt by sea’<\/a> , sept 7th post, then obviously I could\/should consider using it right now. Entries must be 40cm x 60cm, with tolerance of +\/- 1cm. In what I think must be an omen of some kind, this particular fabric is 41cm width.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
