I am pleased to announce that my quilt Flash Flood Warning has been accepted for the No Boundaries exhibition at the Virginia Quilt Museum.
This quilt is part of my ongoing series addressing the effect of climate change on weather events.

Hello! Welcome to part 100 of my ongoing experiments with the wet cyanotype process. When I started this journey on the summer solstice of 2017, I knew I was instantly enamored with the process, but didn't know if it would be sustainable in the long run.
Much more on my blog, link in comments

After many, many hours spent hand basting then hand joining these English paper pieced hexagons, today I’m doing the quick fun bit of popping out the papers, in preparation of incorporating them into a larger artwork. #fiberart #artquilt #epp #handstitching #slowstitching

Sunday Spotlight: In Dreams I Slept in a Cabin. I lived near the mighty Susquehanna River most of my life and it is the inspiration for much of my artwork. This piece stems from a dream where I lived a simple life in a cabin near the river, lulled to sleep each night by the sound of it flowing.

I also do a few facing north, and they show a remarkable level of detail, considering there's no camera lens involved.
These serve no purpose other than to make me insanely happy. It's a beautiful world we live in, despite all the turmoil, and I am taking a moment to experience joy. #pinholecamera

The streaks in the sky mark the passage of the sun across the sky over the six month period and clearly show the difference in altitude as the seasons progress. They vary in strength and intensity in correlation with the weather and cloudiness on any given day.

I add a lid and tape the whole assembly shut, then use zip ties to mount them in various places. I then forget about them for 6 months, until harvesting and replacing them at the next solstice. They fit in well with my main body of work that requires sunlight and patience.

Happy Solstice! As is my practice, today I retrieved the pinhole cameras I mounted at the summer solstice, and hung up a new batch. It's an extremely low-tech operation, using a beer can with a single pinhole poked in it with a sheet of 5" x 7" black and white photo paper loaded inside.

Under the needle, a monoprint of a tulip poplar leaf, on cotton. It will be an element in a large quilt I’m working on. #artquilt #fiberart #printmaking

Welcome to part 6 of my occasional experiments with film soup. This is a continuation of the same roll of 35mm Kodak gold that I shot in part 5, on my Olympus OM10. I souped it for about 24 hours with dish soap. I love a good pedestrian bridge, with all those struts and angles and shadows.
