WAYYYY LONG OVERDUE FOR UPDATES, LATEST FABRIC ART CREATIONS ... RUGHOOKINGS

I clearly have been absent from my blog, just busy with "LIFE" in general. I started a part time job working with an Interior Designer, which leaves less time to create my own art, but yet allows me to be creative in helping clients choose fabrics, paints etc. I have uploaded the above pics of my latest fabric art which you can find for sale @ Artisans Village on Main Street in Moncton, New Brunswick. It is a unique locale set up in an old warehouse type building with a gallery area and artists open studios ... My "tulips" rughooking just sold last week. I had many comments on this particular rughooking. It seemed to evoke much emotion no doubt due to the fact that I finished this piece at the end of the wintery months and just prior to spring with hopes of tulips blooming in the the near future!! The latest projects for Les Hookeuses du Bor'de'lo are: an upcoming exhibit of our abstract hookings at the Dieppe Arts and Cultural Centre this fall and a contemporary mosaique (group effort) for the Galerie 12 @ the Aberdeen Cultural Centre in Moncton for the New Year 2013 ... I shall keep you posted as to when and where the vernissages will take place for both "unveilings". I hope everyone is taking in all that summer has to offer. I took in a long weekend of camping with my family on PEI of late. Its always great to feel ones feet in the "squeaky" red sand of the island and to consume some the scrumptious fresh seafood.
