As you can see in the following pictures, we were so spread out it was hard to get good pictures. However, it was wonderful to just be able to share our projects and our lives. The September meeting took place at Wendt Park in Holland on a gorgeous day. We all brought our own dinners.

Priscilla started us off with a brief business meeting
|
Most of our meeting consisted of show and tell, as we have all been quite creative this past 6 months.
The following are Jennifer's wonderful pieces from her 3-D shibori stitched and indigo dyed series.
- Pink Volcano Landscape (8" x 8")
- Wild Jungle Leaves (8" x 8")
- Lush Bananas (8"x 8")
- Profusion (10" x 10")
I
included Lush Bananas, even though I didn't show it at the outing,
because it's at the LowellArts current member show and it belongs
between the Leaves and Profusion.
The following 2 pictures show part of the process that Jennifer uses to get to her finished art. As you can see she paints the cotton with Procion MX dyes in vivid colors, then shibori
stitches them, and then indigo dyes them and drys them with the stitching
still in. Jennifer said she is having lots of fun!
