Challenge for 2021

 My textile art group , Broadstrokes, is doing something a bit different this year as we are all exhausted from the Margaret Olley inspired work we made for exhibition in 2019. In 2020 several of our pieces flew to France to be in an exhibition there but unfortunately because of Covid this was canceled , so they all flew home again.

So now for next year, firstly we are making a postcard for each members birthday. The only stipulation is that the theme is travel, which we all enjoy but are of course restricted from for the near future. 

Oops I have posted off this first postcard for 7 th January without taking a photo. I meant to add one here.

The second challenge involved each member ‘putting out there’ what they intend focusing on for the year. We will be held accountable at each meeting as we all know what the individuals chose. All the others who attended the last meeting of the year have had their challenge documented, but as I wasn’t there I have t done so yet.

So , what will it be. Working in 3D making vessels, finishing works in progress, exploring more art journal work, doing and participating in Jane Dunnewold ‘s Creative Strength Training Community for 2021, researching and reading to gain knowledge, stitching , working through and completing all the online workshops and classes I have enrolled in over the years but not completed. 

Started that already with this piece from a Wendy Brightbill class, The Poetry of Stitches
