The Ann Arbor Fiberarts Guild's annual event, Fiber Feast, is held annually at the Washtenaw Community College/Ann Arbor on the third Saturday in April. |
There are descriptions on how I make purses in the August 6, 2014 blog article and glass buttons in the January 4, 2015 blog article.
What a delight to spend the day with friends! Jeanne Sarna is a long time friend and a "partner in (fiber) crime"! Here she is modeling a garment she made for the recycle runway event. She turned an unused jacket and upholstery fabric scraps into an art-to-wear vest.
Carol Furtado, another wonderful fiber artist, is standing at her table of gorgeous scarves, jackets and jewelry |

This year I entered several jackets, a coat, and a free-form crocheted sweater. Some jackets were dyed, some discharged, and one was woven.
Free-form crochet sweater of wool, cotton, and some novelty yarns. I've been a knitter for a long time, but Sandra introduced me to the fun of free-form crochet! Details about making this sweater is in my January 2015 blog article. |
The orange coat and brown jackets are made of cotton fabric that I discharged with a bleach/water mixture. This process is discussed in my September 2, 2014 blog article. |
I'm just learning how to weave and I'm really enjoying the process. This chenille jacket is woven stripes of brown, black, and beige with a little green and orange for accents. Details about this jacket are in the May 6, 2014 and the May 15, 2014 blog articles. |
My friend, Jenny Shue, is modeling my silk screened habotai silk jacket. Doesn't she look grand? |
Beautiful flowers graced the luncheon table and a wonderful jazz combo played for us. All in all - a very good day!
