Day Seventeen of Thirty

This was a page that I had started in my Dream Big Journal. The right hand side was Traci Bautisita's art that I printed on labels and pasted to the page (Traci gave permission to use her art). I put the circles on the right and then decorated the left hand side with circles and various colors of felt tip pins. I felt compelled to finish this, which does not usually happen to me, but I did finish the circles early this morning and finished coloring the backgrounds this evening.


Close up view of both pages. I had another artful weekend. Saturday I worked on these pages after meeting with a client. On Sunday I went to Santa Fe and saw the Mining the Unconscious II show. This show was inspired by C. G. Jung's Red Book. It is a very inspiring show and they show a video with artists explaining the symbols and inspiration of some of the pieces. If you are in Santa Fe it really is a must see show, it is at the Santa Fe University of Art and Design, at the Fine Arts Gallery unitl August 7th.

Great Day in Santa Fe

We are so lucky living only 67 miles from Santa Fe! Six of us took off today and went to the Roundhouse. There was a SAQA show at the Capitol, and they blew us all away! Fantastic work, and all so different. We all picked out a different favorite quilt, and enjoyed talking about techniques, etc. Three of us were quilters (two rather traditional, and ME), and three artists, but non-quilters/fabric people.

There is also an astonishing amount of fantastic art just hanging in the halls!

We went to lunch at the Pink Adobe, and had great food and an even better dessert. I highly recommend it for lunch or dinner.

On the way back to Albuquerque, we stopped at a show opening in Bernalillo, and then had dinner at the Range Cafe!

All in all, an inspiring day.

I came home and worked on the Altered Book Round Robin, and here are the pictures. The theme was Girls Gone Bad, and I used several quotes, two tags, fiber, and a library card pocket.

Micheline, here is my take on the circle quilt:
