On another note - I got an e-mail today that bowled me over. Do you remember this painted quilt by Sherry Shine I posted recently? Sherry took my Thermofax workshop a couple of weeks ago and she told me yesterday that while she did not use the Thermofax screens in a new piece of work, she wanted me to know that she was influenced by the workshop to experiment and to work more abstractly.
Today, she sent me a photo of her new piece, made after the workshop, that is a complete departure from everything she has ever done. It is abstract -- uses the fabric beautifully -- and leaves the back story and interpretation to the viewer. She said I could share this piece with you -- I am thrilled that something that day triggered a new direction for her work (but for the life of me, I can't figure out what it was - LOL). Thanks, Sherry.
As usual, past midnight. Where has the day gone? Where do they all go?

Beautiful colours shapes and patterns in these pieces - wow!
The piece by Sherry (?) inspired by your class is wonderfully beautiful!
Sherry's piece is wonderful! Both of you got some good mojo going on!
Abstract work is a good idea, I'd rather recommend to go yet more abstract -- or go back to naive art altogether, but keeping to these printed fabrics. I'm not so sure about the face... sorry to be "negative", but I think it is somewhere between naive and photo-realistic, and this is a difficult position. The fabrics are really great, and the background is awesome.
I really love that piece by Sherry! You must be so pleased to see that come out of one of your workshops!
