My most favorite piece is the sock doll my mother made me as a child. I still have the doll and it sits in my night table drawer. My mother made me a pink printed dress and the doll has the same fabric on her dress. The doll represents my mother teaching me about fiber arts from a very young age. Mom made me doll clothes for my Ginny doll that were hand embroidered. I wish she were here to see how my fiber arts career is blossoming. I love all kinds of Fiber Art and travel the world viewing it for my pleasure and for my education.

Wow! so many comments about fantastic artists! Where to start researching and viewing???? My favorite is Peggy Sexton in Houston who does small 3-D items with lots of texture and color. Love the blog on JOY today/now……….

Fiber Art thank you for bringing me inspiration from the fiber world on a daily basis on Facebook! I find Jill Powers’ work especially inspiring. I saw an installation of her bug sculptures at the Snyderman gallery last year. I didn’t realize what her materials were until I read more about her in your post. She is using the environment to make a statement about the environment. Breathtaking art that packs a punch!

I would have to say the piece I saw at an art show in Metchosin, BC this summer. It was felted figure of a women’s bodice that covered the top of a beautiful sun bleached piece of driftwood. It was absolutely stunning and I cannot get the image out of my head. Thank you for the opportunity to enter this contest!

I liked the Walking in Love installation at Sacred Threads 2011. I think it was very innovative and original. Thanks for this opportunity.

Oh, my goodness! I just discovered your blog and website via our FreeCycle exchange about lace. You are so extraordinarily talented and right here locally in the Apex/Cary area. Wow, wow, wow — I’m determined to enroll in one of your workshops. The innovative fiber art that has left me speechless at the moment is your “Glow” leaf series. So beautiful and realistic. I am fantasizing about whether the “Glow” artwork can fit within my budget, which would be a splurge but that level of beauty is priced so reasonably. And I love that you blogged about the process of making the leaves. How lovely to have a freebie giveaway on the site too. — from Elizabeth of Apex, your newest devoted fan!

I’m going to toot my own horn and say I love what I am doing now.
My definition of fiber is anything that bends, and you can see a lot of it on my blog and Quietfire Creations- and i teach a lot at Nice Threads- a gallery and studio devoted to fiberarts and being with students- everyone learning and everyone teaching is totally innovative!

Wow, just reading the comments above mine have exposed me to some innovative fiber artists! I had to remind myself to stop checking out the links and make my comment. Fiber art speaks to me, deep inside. Thanks for the chance on the magazine.
