I am in Art Inspired Overload!! This past week, I have been totally saturated by art and artists! My first exposure was my Trinity Valley Quilters' Guild meeting a week ago Friday...great bunch of ladies who are more into traditional quilting, lovely but not the direction I usually travel. Although, our speaker this month was the very talented Carol Morrissey who is a Fiber Artist.

An example of her fabulous work! |
Then the Saturday following, I went to Dallas to the North Texas Circle of Studio Art Quilters' Association (
SAQA). Now I am beginning my overload journey! What a bunch of talented gals!

After the meeting and lunch, we were invited to see Valery Guignon's studio, "The Primordial Ooze" in East Dallas. What a talented lady! She does it all..her current focus being art clothing. Her studio is so named because she proudly admits she never throws anything away!!

Valery with a couple of her friends (yes, she made them). |
Then after lunch, we traveled to Keller, to the
Elm Street Studio to see an exhibit by
Heather Pregger...her first private showing!

So I am home...working on my wall hanging for the "100" donation which is almost finished....totally in overload...as my mind is filled with all I have seen in the past week!
