says to post on well something odd is going on with my camera so I need
to get a new one before tomorrow night any suggestions. t is a new month I
am just off to the Ontario Craft Council awards at the Gladstone where 5
of the recipients work with textiles and then there are the
embroidering jewellers, tomorrow is the opening of fibreworks 2012 in
Cambridge
OCC awards exhibition October 4 2012
The Awards & Scholarships is an OCC flagship program that celebrates excellence in making, allows for peer recognition, and provides opportunity for promotion. http://www.craft.on.ca/Exhibitions/Current_Exhibitions
as I said something odd is up with my camera. this is 2012 OCC Award winner Lizz Aston with Exploding Lace View - installation detail, 2012, Linen, fusible interfacing, fibre reactive dyes, starched and hand-cut.
While 8 people liked this photo, Carla A. Canonico editor of A Needle PullingThread commented " Joe...how about a review of Lizz Aston for the next instalment? Cool stuff but looks like metal!"
taking many pictures with permission the name sometimes slips the mind and that is where posting on facebook became handy two people identified Jen Kneuland for me before I had finished posting the nights photos, my comment when from "if you know her Tag her to "A face in the crowd Jen Kneulman! Memory is like a thread or piece of milk weed fluff it can go poof at the slightest breeze)"
2012 OCC Award winner Shuyu Lu in front of her Hand embroidery on Toile, 9 people liked this photo and it is just one of many I have taken of her and her work that I have posted on facebook, from her grad work, TOAE where she won Best of Fibre 2010 ( i will check back into the facebook album of that event to make sure), the Artist Project and the Cabbagetown Festival
a group of Sheridan Grads Class of 2010 I think (Ceramics)
2012 OCC Award winner Stephanie Fortin with her Shibori Scarves, 2012 Tencel, Itajime Shibori, metal button closure (i took a much better picture in Washington at the TSA)

with one of Melina Sevilla' smask, I did try to put it on but it was a
bit small. so this was a quick trip to see and interesting show, a few
people asked me for an opinion and gave me theirs. this show needs to
be reviewed questions about what is art and what is craft still come up
and the voices in the discussion the better. see the show if you can.
