Carol L. Myers ~ Mixed Media Artist

My cell phone rang while I was in the car with DH (retrieving the boat trailer for the dreaded end of sailing season) and it was my good friend Carol G. I hadn’t talked to her in a blue moon. She was calling me from the Houston Quilt Market to say she was standing in front of my Best of SAQA quilt-and she had goosebumps, it was so good. Well……talk about making my day! Makes me wish I could go to Quilt Festival. Maybe another year.
I also got word that one of my quilts was accepted to Form Not Function in New Albany, IN. My, my, life is good!

What a wonderful weekend!! I attended the Fabrications retreat in N. Michigan and took a class from Laura Cater-Woods. It was an incredibly exciting and validating time. The piece that I started doesn’t look like much, but it was a revelation as to ways that I might look at my prints and begin to incorporate them into larger works. I was also excited to see 3-D work of other classmates-I have been seriously thinking of vessels and other off-the-wall ideas. Now I’m just too charged up for words! So it’s off to the studio, and hopefully tonight I will upload some photos-new and old-that are lurking in my camera.

Finally, I’ve gotten back to work. At least a little. I started monoprinting yesterday, and now have a whole design wall to contemplate. It feels really good to be productive after a fallow period. Next, to work on some UFO’s and get ready for two shows!

Hopefully, photos tomorrow.
