This stunning sculpture, Continuum, was created by artist Karen Margolis. The clusters of pods and tulip-like shapes are made from maps and handmade papers. If you look closely in the photos, you'll see the incredible textured effects of a soldering iron. I have to say that those are the most beautiful burn holes I've ever seen!
Now here is an exhibition that I wish I could have gone to see!! Check these beauties out! Curated by Lovina Purple, the show examines artwork that has been created in traditional craft techniques such as weaving, quilting, lace-making, knitting and embroidery. The exhibition features works by artists Elisa D’Arrigo, Karen Margolis, Christina Massey, Hyo Jeong Nam, Gail Rothschild, and Katya Usvitsky. http://www.escapeintolife.com/press-release-exhibit-art-show/knot-your-average-knit/
Alice R. Ballard..."My art is a reflection of my relationship with natural forms. It is often the metamorphosis of Nature's forms, as they change from season to season, that attracts me to that universal world in which differing life forms share similar qualities"... Alice B.

I weave original one-of-a-kind vessels and assembled collages of multiple layers of weaving, stitching, tying, encaustic, and paint that work around the edges of traditional techniques. Most materials are hand gathered. A small listing includes, but is not limited to, seagrass roots, bull sea kelp, roots, beaver sticks, barks, willow and native grasses"... Shannon Weber
