more fiber art

these are two pieces of 2-D fiber art by an artist named chad alan. they were part of a larger installation displayed at the 2004 artomatic show in dc. the pieces were made using various scraps of fabric, thread, and yarn sewn and stitched together. i would have bought more, but i couldn't afford them. i had to pick the two i absolutely could not live without. they are two of my most prized possessions.

i discovered another amazing fiber artist today; her name is agata olek. check out the photos of her wearable sculptures on her website. isn't that crocheted wedding dress amazing? i came across her work because she did some crocheted set pieces for a dance performance that my friend jon was involved in.

i personally haven't been knitting much this week. i'm still working on my cotton candy hat, take two. i did put up our halloween decorations, not that it took very long. it's just a ceramic jack o lantern, a hanging skeleton, and some stringy spider web stuff on the porch. we still have to go get our pumpkin. halloween is my favorite holiday, i can't wait!
