Adding My Artwork To Your Collection Artwork |

Collector Comments What a great treat the work is. It's very special to have them -- they are up in our living room to really enjoy them. The depth and richness of both, so different, yet both so compelling, is very special and we are very very happy to add them to our collection. |

Caring for Textile Artwork
In order to enjoy your textile artwork for many years to come, there are a few things to keep in mind that also pertain to almost all other types of artwork. Fabrics and fabric dyes/paints are sensitive to ultraviolet light. Care must be taken to prevent decomposition of the fibers or fading of the colors. It is wise to hang textile artwork away from exposure to direct or reflecting sunlight and strong, constant indoor (especially fluorescent) lighting. It is also a good idea to avoid exposing any type of artwork artwork to high temperatures, high humidity, smoke or strong odors. Cleaning textile artwork should be done carefully. Dust can easily be removed by vacuuming, preferably through a protective screening (with taped edges) with the suction regulator opened. If you need to store a textile artwork, wrap it in 100% cotton fabric that has been washed, in acid-free tissue paper, and/or in an acid-free box. Do not place your textile artwork directly against wood for long-term storage as the oils in the wood or wood finish can transfer to the art quilt. |
