An Ice Tapestry Or Quilt Can Update An Entire Room

Mystic gave a whole new look to our great room.

image
All it takes to update a room is one carefully chosen piece of art to enhance and beautify a room.
I decided it was time to make that change in our dining room.
I am so happy I did it.  The response has been overwhelmingly positive.

This Marimekko panel previously hung here.

Your surrounding should make you, your family and your guests comfortable. Select things that are you and simply update them occasionally with something that speaks to you as Mystic did.

I hope this gives you an idea for our own home, apartment or business.

Everyone Will Want To Read This And See The Photos

I have been posting all of my completed Ice Tapestries that were not included in my show Florida Ice in Ocala, Florida that closed April 26th.
When curators are selecting the quilts for a show they look for a group that will make a cohesive exciting show. They certainly did a great job for this show.
But with this in mind, often some of the very best work can’t be included.
It may be too large for the space, may not work well with the other pieces that are selected or may be colors of which there is already too much.

I have been sharing the ones that weren’t in the show for the last several days.
In case you missed some or all of them I am including the links to each post here for your viewing pleasure.

Ice Tapestries- The Last And Some Of The Very Best

I hope you have enjoyed seeing all my finished Ice Tapestries.
I think it is quite obvious that I don’t do the same thing twice.


What isn’t obvious is the sizes of the pieces as I try to make them all fit this space.
Karma is the largest piece measuring 103 wide and 50 inches high.
The last 3 are the smallest and the rest are somewhere between.

I have others that are waiting to tell me what I should do with them and they also are patient enough to wait until I have the time to do the work.

Each piece is a labor of love and I take my time being sure I do it justice as it becomes a finished piece of ART.

Sharing Even More Ice Tapestries

I hope you can see the many different designs I have been able to get by the way I have manipulated the fabrics. I keep no records of what I do so each and every one is different and a surprise.

My art is part research and educated application, part experimentation and a lot of serendipity.
It has taken me my entire lifetime to be able to create the ART I am making today.

More Ice Tapestries For Your Viewing Pleasure

Florida Ice included only a portion of the Ice Tapestries I have created.
This was all the space they had and they did an amazing job selecting work for the show and hanging it as art. 

These additional pieces I'll be showing you were included in my 2017 show at the Anderson Arts Center in Kenosha, Wisconsin. It is a large mansion and my work was in 8 galleries and the gift shop.

As you look at these pieces you can see that although they have a "similar" color palette the design of each is totally different. That was one of my goals.

I hope you enjoy seeing the rest as I share more of  them for your viewing pleasure today and in the coming days.image

Today’s Blog Post Is For Everyone Who Couldn’t Get To My Solo Show - Florida Ice In Ocala

The last day of the show was Thursday, April 26th. I am going to include links on this post to every blog post I made about the show while it was open.
Florida Ice the queen and her court
There is one more way to see them all and that would be to start with the opening day of the show and scroll forward, or start with the last day and scroll backward. If you do this you will also see some non show related posts.

So lets start with day ONE- the opening!

I think all of the quilts in the show are here and some are shown more than once.
So take a break, get off your feet and view the entire show by clicking on each one of these.
I hope you enjoy it and I viewing it online is the next best thing to being at the show.

What Is On Today’s Agenda?

Good vibrations and A whole blue world

My son Greg and DIL Julie arrived last night so they could see my show before it ends.
We will arrive before the show will be taken down at 1 pm and see the show and take some pictures and possible a few short videos.

Then with the Cultural Arts Coordinator we will take the show down, pack it up and bring it home.

The show opened on March 16th. It’s hard to believe it is over. The time went way too fast.

I hope if you live close to Ocala or were travelling through you saw the show.
Or maybe you can get there today between 8 am and noon to see it before it comes down since the City Hall opens at 8 am.

This is the only solo showing of my work in Florida and it has been very well received.
It was a pleasure to work with the Cultural Arts Department and I was extremely pleased the way they showed the work as ART.

7 MORE DAYS To See Florida Ice

Sacred Spirits 43wx89h
Sacred Spirits is another one of my best Ice Tapestries.
Unfortunately if wasn’t in the show as there was a limited amount of space to display my work and this was just too big.
It is a very large – 43 inches wide by 89 inches long.
I included it here so you can see it.
It is quite different than the rest of my work.
I feel the Ocala Cultural Arts curators did a fantastic job selecting work for the show and hanging the show to highlight each work of art.
I hope if you haven’t had time to see the show I hope you have plans to see it before it closes.
