Artfest Part 4

Today we finish up in the gallery. Here's folks enjoying the 8x8 display. I myself went in several times to look at them-there were just so many and every time I saw something new.


I wanted to share with you a few of my favourite 8x8's. I say a few because the art in the gallery really was phenomenal. This one was fabric and paper married and I love that it's a monochromatic piece. It's delicious!

Unfortunately, this one was hung pretty high up so I couldn't get a better picture than I have here. It was impossible get the camera up high enough to angle the lens to cut the glare and I couldn't get in front of it in such a way as to block the light either. Hopefully though, you get the gist-it's a beautiful nest in a niche. Lovely!

This one had a sold sticker on it from the get-go. It's cool and clever and I really liked the way they used the shears as a frame. Brilliant!

I liked the softness of this one with all the scroll work and just using two colours. Simple but very effective. I just learn so much from looking at other people's art.

More fabric and buttons-my favourite things! I liked the textures of this piece. Very nice!



Last but not least, there was a table covered in Teesha and Tracy's journal which they so generously share with us at Artfest events. Apologies for a few blurry pictures. I was having trouble with my camera at that point and didn't realize they had come out blurry till I got home. I am posting them anyway so you can see the amazing work in their journals.

I have not even put a dent in the photos I took. I will be back tomorrow with more!!

Hi housemate....how exciting for you that your 8x8 sold. What a thrill. Thanks for posting all the photos. I got hardly any photos at all. I just get to involved and forget to get my camera out. All ready looking forward to next year.
