Speaking in Color

For this challenge, a copyright-free photo from the internet was divided into six pieces. After agreeing on a color palette, each member created a section in the color she was assigned. Each quilted piece was wrapped around a 24x24x2" stretched gallery canvas.

It took both Honorable Mention and Viewer's Choice in the Raw Fiber Exhibit at The Art Center at Clear Lake (TACCL) in 2010.

The Exquisite Corpse

Connie Fahrion started out with her interpretation of a photo, and each person in turn did her own interpretation of the previous work. Each artist only saw and took inspiration from the piece immediately before her. This was a challenge based on the old children's games, "The Exquisite Corpse" and "The Gossip Game".

Finicky, by Linda Teddlie Minton. "Griffins can be a bit finicky," she observed, patting her perfect hair back into place.
