Summer of Color

6/1/2015

I'm going to be playing along with summer of color again this year. I love this challenge based on color. I love being able to create whatever I want within the color stipulation. I'm leaning towards creating a series of small abstract art quilts this year. I'll share the first colors next week and then my quilt. I would love you to play along too. Go here to see all the details and to get in on the first give-away, a $50 Gift Certificate to Blick Art Materials!

I hope to see you there.

I have a loving husband who thinks I'm a bit crazy to be so obsessed with art. I am a mother of five children from ages 21 to 5. I spend most of my time mothering and keeping house. In my free time I like to play with textiles, art journaling and painting. I have a degree in textile and apparel studies with a design focus. Right now I am more interested in fiber arts than apparel design, but I don't know where my journey will take me.

I love to read and am not often without a book. I love fantasy and science fiction novels. I also love reading a lot of mainstream fiction and historical accounts. Art books and magazines are another favorite of mine.I also dabble in gardening. I want to get out and garden more when my little ones are a bit older and less of a challenge. I enjoy being outside, at least when the weather is nice. I love animals. I also live with two cats.

I live in Alaska with the beauty of the natural world all around me.
