Beating the February blahs

I spent the last weekend learning new skills with Sylvia Naylor, fiber artist. FYI her website is www.sylvianaylor.com and if you ever get a chance to work with her, grab it. She is energetic, very creative, and VERY talented. Definitely a worthwhile way to beat the blahs.
Sylvia and most of the participants at the workshop are members of the Kingston Fiber Artists whose annual show is coming up next month at the Kingston Public Library on Johnson St. Try and get in to see it as their work is generally top of the line fiber art and their challenge pieces are on a theme but completed in many different techniques and styles. Definitely a worthwhile show to see if you have any interest in the various forms of fiber art.
Now I have to get the pieces finished that I started, mentally and actual, and practice what I learned about design, colour, layout etc in some vibrant new work
I hope you have a fun thing happening in February. Shirley
