AWS - Road Trip Time!

Come One, Come all,

 A road-trip to visit the American Watercolor Travelling Show at the Middleton Art Center.  The exhibit is up from July 5-August 17.  This seems to be the best time for most so-come if you can...we'll probably find a sandwich nearby too : )

Time - 9:00am

Date - Wednesday, August 14

Meet at the First Presbyterian Church in Yellow Springs to carpool...

also - all our love to Toni Larrichuta to wish her speedy healing from recent surgeries!

A note from Sally and June meeting coming up!

Sally - collaging her beautiful cards

We recently heard from Sally, who has now relocated to Philadelphia area.  She says that she misses us - and oh my, how we miss her smile and creative spirit.  She came every time we met, even when we were interviewed by Fox45.  She also helped take care of Mitzi when her health was failing.  She may have helped put together the 'Mitzi Retrospective' that hung at Antioch College.

Sally says that she is creating as we speak!  She is mostly in the pottery studio with all sorts of other opportunities to paint,quilt, weave, etc.  She regularly swims laps and is very happy!  Hurray

We meet next on Monday, June 3....come ready to share your latest and greatest and create together!
Libby will be attending a workshop with OWS but hopes you all gather and have a great time! xox

Yuki Hall brought her hand dyed fabrics                                  and books to give away! Thank you Yuki  <3 h2="">

Today, we got together as usual - some coming in late, some arriving first and wondering if they had the day right.....but we all had projects we were pursuing and art items, classes and news to share.  Many of us will go to the demo tomorrow night at Fairborn Art Assoc. to learn about clay mosaic making.  Yuki also says that she will be bringing more of her fabrics to share.   

Pam and friends meet at the 1 Presby on the first tuesday of the month to learn new art quilt techniques together so these fabrics will definitely help with their work.  I took a few as well since I am making birds for the Nature Show in Bellbrook, mid March.

Meeting this Monday! Nov. 5

Some of us will only be at our usual gatherin g in spirit....we'll be across the hall in the workshop with Lian Zhen - Chinese Brushwork.  It might be ok for you to come over and take a peek at what we're up to, it depends on the timing.  It wouldn't be a good idea to burst in when he's doing a demo, etc but hopefully one of us can slip over to say hi! 

Hope all will have a great time creating

A young artist and an Evolving Embroidery

Sue's newest creation...

Sue, a member of MMA,  is designing her newest piece using specified types of stitches that her embroidery group is assigned monthly in a square format. The piece will become a box cover when completed.  Sue has extensive knowledge of color, design and embroidery so her creations are indeed unique and beautiful. If you look closely, you will see the insects that are exploring the flowers in her design.
  Pam broutht a beautiful quilt that she is doing the finishing touches on, a commission.  Mary brought a colored pencil piece that she is working on and shared a resource for obtaining inexpensive yet quality prints.  Ruth brought a few more of the materials from our recent show at the Yellow Springs Arts Council gallery and continued work on a lovely pastel.  Ann, Toni and Rebecca came to kibitz, visit and work a bit.  We were also joined by Yuki who worked on small paintings and shared info about upcoming workshops with WOWs.  Sandy Kinnemon came and did some watercolor work and Libby (me : ) did what I could to work a bit, inbetween conversations and queries. Lastly, we were joined by a sweet Mom, Elizabeth with babe in arms. 

Next meeting will be the SECOND monday in September, due to Labor Day falling on the first Monday.  See you then, if not sooner!

Ruth found out that Yuki has been included in a juried show in Cincinnati!  www.cincyart.com - Congratulations Yuki!
