OLD FEELINGS I
by Teresita Leal The idea of a new post pandemic world is undoubtedly appealing, but it will still be inhabited by the old feelings that inspire this series. I symbolize them working with color, value and shape Old Feelings I - Peaceful 40 x 24 inches Raw edge appliqué Made with scraps of commercial and hand-dyed cotton fabric

Resilience #3
New World : Resilience #3 - 33cm x 102cm (13 x 40 inches) Fire has always been part of the history in our world. Even now huge fires change the landscapes of our planet; and always when the fires stop, a new world is born.

No Gray Area
The latest in my "Contrast" series, this composition is all about contour and line rather than realism. I started with some simple organic shapes, inspired by the Peace Lily plant that sits on the landing of my stairs. I challenged myself to find a sense of movement and depth using only black and white fabrics and threads. Quilt by Kate Themel Finished size: 40x14 in

Dervish
By Betty Busby My New World series is all about the unseen. All around us, within us, atoms are whizzing around.

Accompanied with Leaves -- by Lin Hsin-Chen
I am trying hard to learn from the 3 leaves. From the fresh leaves that inspired me, until I am about to finish sewing the work, they withered. I hope I can work harder with needle and thread and complete my new work soon. I look forward to the reveal!

....more wandering
My goal for this Viewpoints 18-month cycle is to wander creatively, to go places I haven't been and just let things unfold. It's been an interesting experience with varying successes, but I continue to wander and try new things and have a long list of things I hope to try, eventually. In the exercise above, I set out on a 100-day challenge to play with the illusion of transparency, making blocks daily - for 49 days (oh, well). These are hand-dyed cottons and commercial print

Autumn Vibes -- by Lin Hsin-Chen
Materials are the backbone of a work. Once again, I challenge myself with unfamiliar textiles. I choose fibers that interest me to create. I am looking forward to exploring deeper into more possibilities. It is the value of adventures.

Color of Leaves --by Lin Hsin-Chen
I like to observe the changes in the color of veins in a leaf. I put the 3 leaves in front of my desk. After a few months, I discover how amazing Nature is. These 3 leaves are fascinating and attract me to further explore new creative topics.
