Eye for Fiber: an art group: February 2008
http://eyeforfiber.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 07, 2008. A Bit Of Catch-Up. Yes, I've been a bit lax in posting. can I blame it on the huge amount of snow we've had so far this year (in Michigan)? Maybe not, but it does effect my satellite link-up so that's not as far fetched as it sounds. In reality, I've just been busy and distracted. December's meeting was fattening - too many goodies! But we also had fibery stuff to do. In the Nov/Dec 2007 issue (#15) of Cloth, Paper, Scissors. But I'll post it if it ever does get finished.

Wednesday, January 17, 2007. December and January Meetings. We had a really great meeting in December. Cathy A. taught us about the techniques of machine quilting. She covered a lot of tips on smooth lines (boy, do I need to practice! And even bobbin drawing - very cool! Threads, following a design, etc. It was very beneficial to those of us who need all the help we can get in that area (me! Another area of quilting that I desperately need! Did I mention that quilting is not my strong point? Eye for Fibe...

Tuesday, March 13, 2007. Feb '07 Meeting - Dyeing! Linda J is dyeing roving for spinning. Linda K's roving is in the foreground. The fibers we are dyeing have been soaking in an acid (citric acid) solution to bring their pH down to 5.0. We can then paint our dye stock solution on the fibers and nuke them in a microwave (very carefully, can't set the building on fire! To set the colors. Debra G is painting sock yarn. Right, Kay S is painting yarn and wool fabric. Inted lace - yum! Eff @ seaairarts dot com.

Eye for Fiber: an art group: August 2007
http://eyeforfiber.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 13, 2007. Here are the paper exercises we did in July. First up, we picked one color, a more intense version of that color, and it's complement. Then we cut out graphic designs to make positive/negative images. Secondly, we chose complementary colors, then chose more paper to create an analogous complement color scheme. We used the analogous colors to fill space. Lastly, we did a group exercise, round robin style:. This was great fun! How could these exercises translate into fiber? Meeting...

Eye for Fiber: an art group: October 2007
http://eyeforfiber.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 23, 2007. Met at the Library this month due to a last minute school schedule conflict. Since it is so close and the library is so accommodating to us, it was just fine. They didn't even complain when we made so much noise, you'd have thought we were remodeling the meeting room! Several of us just got back from spectacular workshops. Linda J was at a four day workshop in North Carolina at the John C. Campbell Folk School. I gave a quick recap of my class with Laura Cater-Woods. For Show a...

Eye for Fiber: an art group: A Time Warp
http://eyeforfiber.blogspot.com/2008/05/time-warp.html
Thursday, May 29, 2008. I think there is a time warp that effects this Blog. It seems like I just. Posted and when I check, it's been months. I need Hermione's Time Turner. Was a fun dye day but, no one had a camera - oops! Here is some of what I did, I took photos later at home; my laundry room with rinsed yarns and one piece of silk noil, drying. Some warp I dyed the same night, being wound. A close-up of my favorite yarn for the night; a Ball of Tofutsie. And such great potential as an art tool. I was...
