Larkin Van Horn has generously donated this free-form bead embroidery talisman necklace to the 2008 Invitational Reverse Auction which opens this coming Monday, March 10. The necklace includes glass, stone and shell beads on a base of cotton fabric and batting.
Here is a detail:
It’s easy to see why Larkin is in demand as a teacher and lecturer among quilters, fiber artists, and beadworkers. Her second book, Beading On Fabric, was released in 2006, and she has also published patterns for wearable art garments and fabric vessels. Her work has been displayed and won honors both regionally and nationally.
Larkin’s newest venture is creating and curating the It’s Good To Be Green exhibition now showing at Latimer Quilt and Textile Center, Tillamook, Oregon. More information as well as a CD of the exhibition artwork is available here.
Visit Larkin’s website to see more of her art.
100% of the proceeds from the Invitational Reverse Auction are donated directly to the American Cancer Society through Fiberart For A Cause. The Reverse Auction opens this coming Monday, March 10, and the minimum donation decreases each day. Go here for all the details and to see the fiberart from nine additional artists.
