This past summer was a very busy one. I was able to finish several new pieces as well as teach a few classes. The largest piece that I finished was one I titled Madre de Agua in honor of the Yoruba Goddess of the Ocean, Yemaya. Yemaya is often depicted as a beautiful mermaid. I used several mixed media techniques to construct the quilt. Media used included dyed and painted canvas, water-soluble wax pastels, Shiva Oil Paintsticks, embellished felt, Angelina fiber, beads and charms, cotton fabrics, sequins, pearl cotton, metallic threads, and other fibers. The piece utilized hand and machine work.

Hot fun in the summertime obviously you were splashing around in the ocean of creativity. The piece is gorgeous. The face is marvelous. The use of a variety of mixed mediums is wonderful.
Again, another very beautiful piece of art. I wish I could join in your classes.
