Carol L. Myers ~ Mixed Media Artist

Wow, this is the first time I’ve uploaded an image without Hello or Picassa. And it was easy, if not a little slow.

This is an example of some of my mixed printing and fabric. The image is a woodcut print that I printed on several pieces of fabric, after I had printed the edition on paper. I’m thinking that I’ve used the block for printing maybe as much as I would like. I may now go back and use encaustics with the woodcut as the starting point. If it works, it might be a way to use those old blocks that I can’t just throw away.

I’m trying to finish a body of work for a show in August, so I’m really humming in the studio. I need to find time to work on my website and continue to post here. I must say that I like the ease of this new photo posting.

I’m just finishing hanging the show, Art Quilts from Indiana and Ohio-a show of work by members of the Studio Art Quilt Associates that reside in my region. That would be Indiana and Ohio, obviously. It looks great, if I do say so myself. Meanwhile, at the ‘big house’(that would be the Indianapolis Art Center, www.indplsartcenter.org) they are also scurrying to get ready for tonight’s opening.

Don’t know if anyone will come, but at least I can admire my

work and the lovely work of others. Photos to follow.

Last weekend was a wonderful time in Athens, Ohio. I was at the opening of Quilt National and also attended(and was on the planning committee)the Studio Art Quilt Associates conference, The Business of Fiber Art. It was my first time for both events, and I am still on a high. I met so many people whose names I have seen on the internet. And seeing all of the fiber art and hearing all of the speakers-well, I’m on overload. Today is my work day at the co-op gallery in Bloomington, IN. It is a quiet day, so I will be looking over the QN book and reliving all of the work I saw in person.

I so appreciate all of the comments that are showing up on my blog. I have tried to reply to a couple of them by email-it doesn’t seem to work. So I guess I’m supposed to make a comment myself, which I plan on doing. Meanwhile, keep those comments comming!
