Carnegie Center Fiber Exhibit Closeup

As I mentioned in the last post about the Indigo Dyeing class at Carnegie Center for Art & History, we also visited the Louisville Area Fiber and Textile Artists Group Exhibition at the center.

I took some pictures to show you and maybe inspire you today as they did me. Instead of pictures of the whole works, I wanted to show you closeups of some of the pieces. Look at all of these lovely words.

I loved the colors and the Asian influence.

If you like zentangles, you would love this work. Those tiny white circles are yo-yos. Amazing.

This one shows all of these small design pieces (looked like paper on front and fabric on back) and all hanging together by threads. We decided that she must have used water soluble stabilizer.

Beautiful beaded zipper!

Look at all of this hand stitching and beading. I love this, but I’d never have the patience to do it.

I love the colors and all of the text.

These are just a few of the pieces in the exhibit – my favorites that spoke to me. If you live in the Louisville, Kentucky area, this exhibit will be up through October 5. It’s well worth the drive. I hope this exhibit has given you a bit of inspiration today. Thanks for dropping by.
