FIBER JUNKIE - AUG. SHOW AND TELL

Is it possible not to have show and tell when gathering with other quilters?!?  I think not.......here's a few items that knocked our socks off by members of Fiber Junkies.....
 Val has been VERY busy lately.....we all love how she combines screen printing with her own dyed fabrics.  This beautifully framed one features a piece of deconstructed screen printed as a background....with a silk screened image from her vast collection.
 Another example......
 This one Val silk screened some pods and used decolorant for the ferns.
 This piece combines deconstructed screen printing, silk screening, and decolorant images.....
 Our quiet Val tries to stay in the background but here she is helping Denny to show her quilt.  Denny Webster is our newest member and we are darn happy to have her.  The pieces she creates utilize many surface design/mixed media techniques, but all focus on a theme.....some serious, provocative, humorous, personal and political.
This piece is from her healing series.....she added a lot of text to support the images.  It a privilege to be exposed to these thoughtfully created pieces.
