The Frayed Edges, June 2007

As usual we had a wonderful meeting, tho it was a bit hectic with summer, kids underfoot and Kate having to arrange last minute kid-care (and for all of us, kids come first!). We sat out on the back porch, where I for the most part forgot to take pictures. Ok, just checked the files. I forgot to take a lot of pictures!Deborah’s grid pieces

For our group show at the Camden Public Library (opens Aug. 2nd thru the 30th, Artists’ Reception on Saturday the 11th from 1-4 pm), we wanted to do a group project. We came up with the idea of a grid. Each of the five of us would contribute one photo (we all tossed several into the pile, then collectively picked one from each person). Then each of us would make one small piece based on that photo. In the end we will have a grid where each column is a different person’s “take” on that photo, and each row will be one person’s version of the five photos.

Deborah and I both managed to finish…hoooray! AND Deborah gets bonus points for not only finishing, but getting them done in time to mail to me for this month’s meeting! She is also the only one to decide to use some consistent themes, to make the five pieces a series. She did so by printing parts of the photos onto sheer fabric, then using a green print fabric underneath on at least a couple of them, and her “signature” writing on the quilts also. The photo above is Deborah’s work…3 of the 5 pieces.Group grid–in progress

The pieces are all 7 inches tall, the “horizontals” are 10 inches across, the small ones 5 inches across. We laid them out on my table (OK…plywood on planter pots with a Bolivian cloth on top…sorry about the visual clashing of the stripes and the quilted pieces). Deborah’s are the top row, mine are next, then Kates, and Hannah’s, and Kathy forgot hers at home! Kath and I will get everything organized for hanging in about two weeks. I’ll take better pics of mine and share them in a few days, and I promise they will have a more pleasing background!
