The Warp and Weft Challenge

After my first year in art school I studied sculpture, in sculpture, I painted. Then once I transferred to painting, I made paper. I eventually settled on printmaking and after graduation studied animation. I guess it should be no surprise that when Esmari from Warp and Weft Exquisite Textiles gave our Guild, the Fraser Valley Modern Quilt Guild, a challenge to create something with fabric… I drew it!

I was inspired by the safety pins from Esmari’s shop!

This calendar is held on by magnets, that way the wood isn’t affected or punctured. Each month is  displayed one at a time. The extra months are stored on the back of the calender in a pocket. When the year is over, a new calendar can be reordered, or you can attach your own pictures, or attach you own notes or… just have a drawing hanging on your wall!

Now if are looking for something to do this weekend feel free to pop over to my friend Linda’s house for her annual craft fair. Here’s the invite. Just let Linda know I sent you. Sadly I won’t be there but some of my calendars and cards will be! Plus there are LOADS of great people and wares to check out! I know, I’m bummed I have to miss it but I’ll be swimming with the manatee’s in Florida!
