CFF: Japanese Temari 2

Originally uploaded by SOFennell

I’d say we had a good time and were successful, each in our own context. Barb sold a lot of her books and both she and Dana raised awareness of the beauty of Temari here in NC. A lot of folks were intrigued with the art.

Personally, I enjoyed meeting and conversing with the many folks (craftspeople & visitors) I encountered – exciting, thought-provoking…just good fun.
There was a lot to take in – weavers, spinners, dyers, knitters…and lots of color.

I’m so grateful to my customers and really appreciate the compliments on my work – very affirming. If all goes well, we will look forward to participating again next year.

It Rained Ashes II (B)

Originally uploaded by SOFennell

Three small hand made books, two of which were completed over this winter and early spring, are finally on display at the Block gallery in downtown Raleigh. They are showing with the IMPRINT exhibit in a glass case along with roughly 15 other books made by friends who also love making books.

I haven’t seen all of them, but I know that they hold significance to each maker. I’m looking forward to seeing all of them in this display context. The opening reception is Thursday, April 12th from 5 pm.

I’m just realizing that maybe I meant to describe or explain the book here and didn’t.  I’ll just have to save that for a different entry.
