I worked my day at the VAAM Gallery on Saturday. As usual I schlepped all my equipment and materials down there (more than I actually needed, which is also par for the course) and had a studio day. Customers cooperated by keeping themselves to a bare minimum--not so good for the gallery but my time was pretty uninterrupted. I managed to complete something for the upcoming fiber show, involving trapping fibers between layers of solvy and stitching all over, then rinsing the solvy out to leave a lacy fiber effect.
This is a terrible picture but it gives you an idea of what the piece will look like draped over the tree branch I have in mind as part of the exhibit piece. Please note our decorative laundry room door--yes, it was used to hang a dartboard on by the house's previous owners.
If you're a fiber-y type and haven't experimented with solvy, by all means give it a try. The effects one can achieve are just wonderful.

....lovely effect with the fibres...reminds me of a shimmery spiders web!
Great fiber piece. I'm looking forward to seeing your new work.
Looking very interesting Susan! Love the draping idea.
That's really clever...and I love the door!
This looks beautiful Susan, so delicate.
Your fibres look great, must have a go at that as have some of the watersoluble stuff.
