American Craft Council Show: Fiber Focus: Part 3

Today, in fiber focus, let's look at some fabric artists. Whee!


Loring Davena Boglioli works in felt and found objects, with fun buttons and other notions thrown into the mix...




...to make lovely little splashes of color for the home. I can imagine one of these works could really spice up my boring white walls...



I adored the colors in Loring's booth.

Here's some eye candy for all the quilters out there, from the Gallery G booth, and Jagodzinski Design:



So beautiful. Click through to see Janis' other quilts- I especially love her profiles of humans, but the animal designs are great, too.

Here's Janis in her booth (she's on the right hand side in this shot):



We've got one more post before we close out the series on ACC!

American Craft Council Show: Fiber Focus: Part 2

Continuing on our fiber fest journey, let's check out Columbia, Md, artist Susan Levi-Goerlich. Susan creates amazingly intricate landscapes with felt techniques and needlepoint. Her work is so much fun to walk up close to and step away to watch the picture come alive. I had a hard time tearing myself away from Susan's Stitched Impressions booth.

And now, for something completely different! I realize this is stretching the definition of our theme of local (the Bronx) and fiber (wire), but the work of Reina Mia Brill is knitted, and it is beyond inspiring, so I had to share it. Let's bend those rules, shall we?

Two more ACC installments to come!

After the Oscars

Feeling fabulous after watching the glamour of the red carpet? Why not dress up your everyday with a bit of glam from Feather Brain of D.C? Her beautiful headbands are inspired by the 20's flapper era of fashion. Each design is named for the famous jazz musician who inspired it. Check out her etsy shop if you would like to pick one out for your next red carpet debut!
