New hours at Colour Unboxed show

We found out recently that the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum hours for our Colour Unboxed show have changed.  The museum is open this week until Thursday Dec 22nd 10 to 4 pm and then closed for the holidays.  It will reopen January 10th and hours are from 10 to 2 pm from Tuesday to Friday, 12 to 4 pm on Saturdays until the end of the show on February 25th.

Christmas (Holiday) cards

I'm now madly designing my Christmas cards for this year.  Trying to catch up.  Below is the fabric I printed with my hand carved flower stamp yesterday.  I first printed in green and then printed over it in red.  Then I added the white dots in the middle.

So here's the prototype for my cards with a bit of stitch on it.  I think it should work out fine.

And a close up.  The background is light blue:

Thanks for stopping by and have a very Merry Christmas or Happy Holiday and all the best for the new year!

Colour Unboxed show

I've finally finished my two pieces for the Colour Unboxed show in Almonte and am bringing  them to the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum in Almonte tomorrow.  The show runs from Dec 20 (2016) to February 27th, 2017.  Here's a link to the show on the museum website: http://mvtm.ca/?exhibition=colour-unboxed   Here's a photo of one of my pieces:

This piece is called "The View from Here".  It's an underwater scene in a northern Canadian lake. It measures 80 X 100 cm and is mounted on a painted  canvas.  I hand painted the fabrics in this piece and printed the fish with rubber fish replicas (gyotaku).  You can see rocks at the bottom of the lake.

This is my second piece measuring 41.5 X 51.5 cm called Eco Print 2016 which is an eco print done this past summer at the family cottage.  I've framed it under glass in a metal frame which is not visible here.  I printed two sumac branches.  If you live in the Ottawa area go and have a look at the show.  We have many colourful pieces on display there in the main display area of the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum.  Thanks for stopping by and please leave me a comment!
