The newest Fibre Art Network exhibit is called Sea Life<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The theme: “Our imagination of what Sea Life meant to us, either above or below the water line, let our imagination wander. Each piece incorporates a wet or needle felted aspect, which might be as small as a loonie or as big as the entire piece.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are 47 pieces in the exhibit. Each artwork is 8″ x 10″ mounted onto a black 9\u201d x 12\u201d mat board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m looking forward to seeing this exhibit in person at the FAN conference next week.<\/p>\n\n\n

Here is my artwork \u2013 \u2018Frolicking Beneath the Waves<\/strong>\u2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My artist statement: Seahorses dance among strands of seaweed in a colorful blend of motion, texture, and sea life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frolicking Beneath the Waves, by Terry Aske<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It was inspired by this piece I made in 2020 – Three Little Seahorses<\/strong><\/a>. I really liked the colors I used in my 2020 piece, and was very pleased when my scrap bags yielded enough of the very same fabrics for the seahorses!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First I made my seahorses, fusing the fabrics to felt. Then I trimmed the felt very close to each seahorse. The background fabric was another scrap in the perfect colors! To satisfy the requirement for a felted aspect, I dry-felted curly wool roving to the background to represent seaweed. The final step was to attach the seahorses by quilting around the edges of each one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks for stopping by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m linking up with Nina-Marie\u2019s Off the Wall Friday<\/strong><\/a><\/em>, where you\u2019ll find many other creative and inspirational projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
