I'm in Heaven....Kelly Heaven.....oh...Heaven.....and of course there are monks chanting in the background....:) If I put music on my blog it bothers some folks....so you'll just have to get your imaginative juices working this morning/afternoon.....
I know Sarah Vedeler thought I was stalking her while I was in Houston. Every time I showed up she looked at me and smiled.....so.....I took her photo. BUT....who I was stalking....and I do honestly admit it was true stalking....it was the Westminster Fabrics Booth with Kaffe Fassett, Philip Jacobs, Brandon Mably and Liza Prior Lucy.
I'm just appreciative that Brandon has such a good sense of humor and Liza had her back turned because otherwise....I'm certain I could have been jailed in Houston.
The energy these colors. along with the designs just speak to my inner "Wild Mo Jo".....and I don't think I really knew I had an inner "Wild Mo Jo" until I first saw their booth a few years ago.
Kaffe enjoying his needlework.
Since this is my blog and I can take creative liberties.....I"m going to name this piece,
"Peaks of Enlightenment." How do you like that? :)
"Peaks of Enlightenment." How do you like that? :)
I'm calling this one......"Amber Waves of Joy"
I like "Cornered Energy" for this one.
"Wheels of the Ruby Dharma"....I like that title...do you?
This I call, "Where is Waldo?"....LMAO
(if you don't know what the acronym stands for....please don't look it up)
(if you don't know what the acronym stands for....please don't look it up)
"Water Falling on Bliss"
"BAM"
"BAM, BAM and AHHHH"
These are just the titles I've given these photos. I love these Westminster Fabrics and the designers are very inspiring to me.
........Ever notice that when someone/several some one's work resonates with you....it is actually just reflecting something on the inside waiting to get out?
The IHAN world in which I live can be fun on afternoons such as this one. Prior to seeing any of these folks work I knew I liked color but I think it was buried deep inside me. I realize I need some color in my world/home. I don't typically work with colors etc because of self doubt. My uncle was a very successful designer and he had wonderful taste. He was held up as the measure for taste and style....if he liked it....it was "divine" (said in such a grandiose manner too). Apparently I internalized the message that only "designers" have taste and I certainly am not an artist or a designer so I have honestly never explored much until recently. I've never taken an art class relied on a color wheel to tell me if things "worked" together or not.
Fear color no more!!! This photo was taken a few minutes ago in my kitchen. Like the color? I can tell you it sure beats what was there before....just ask "Waldo."
These Rowan Threads were in the Westminster Booth just down the isle. Can you believe I did not even attempt a heist? Me either!!!
I was thinking while writing this post.......
