7 minute art. 2nd week

 After posting my 7 minute art last week, I discovered that the photos were sideways! 😅 

Lincoln Nebraska

 International Quilt Museum! We came for the Boro Exhibit and were not disappointed.  Boro translates as rags in English. The Japanese layered and stitched fabric to mend clothing and blankets. I am filled with inspiration and ideas for continuing my own work. What a wonderful part of my 3 day adventure with friends.

Road trip: Elk Horn Iowa

 On our way to Lincoln Nebraska,  we stopped by the Museum of Danish America in Elk Horn. Great stop!

Figge: Textiles

 We spent a lot of time discussing this piece made by Polish artist, Maria Bierzynska. The tapestry was created in 1972 and is titled, Nokturn Chopina. It is made from wool and sisal. It makes me want to do some spinning, weaving, and wrapping. There is much movement as your eye travels around the piece. I especially like the verticals on the left side. The little bit of yellow peeking out grabbed my attention - it seems like a statement, "stop here and rest before continuing the journey".

Figge trip

 I met up with friends at the Figge today. What caught my eye?

#100 Days 93-100

 Done. 100 Days. 

5 Minute art (actually 7 minutes)

 I came across a challenge recently. Set a timer and do art for 5 minutes. Unless I prep a little bit, it is almost impossible. So - I changed the rules. 7 minutes is much easier. My other rule was that I could only use papers out of a folder that I randomly pulled from my stash. Paint and ink is perfectly fine too.
