rugs at the exhibition

I have really enjoyed the focus on my Retro Rugs. I have made new ones - now I really need to investigate how best to sell them. They have a market niche, but how to tap into it? Retail really isn't my thing.

not even sure about displaying them to their full potential - I've tried a few props here.

Once I had put the little lace circles on this one I thought it deserved a place on a wall - reminiscent of a porcelain plate.

My work at the exhibition

I was really pleased with my exhibition work. It was a nice mix of my current craft (the retro rugs) and my current embroidery and creativity where I am striving for my own artistic style. Here are my embroidered works.

This is "Lake's Edge" - silk, lace and embroidery.

"Blustery Beach" - silk and embroidery.

"Summer Flowers" - moulded paper and embroidery.

After the exhibition

Finally, a chance to post pictures of my recent exhibition.

Well, here are all the members of extraTexture - from left - Margaret Millar, Kay Murray, Cindy Cooper, Margaret McLennan, Kerry Shelberg and Jane Bodnaruk (moi).

This is our group piece - "FOCUS". We started with the serpentine like line on a big piece of paper (120cm x 100cm), cut it into 6 pieces. The major stipulations were to work in mainly black, and to feature the line in metallic. The textures and creativity are amazing.
