Woman with Two Butterflies by Susan Schrott
This is the page 1, number 1 collage for Collage Mania by Susan Schrott, textile artist. Susan shares these details:
I created this small piece with the intention of inspiring confidence and a sense of openness to all that is good around us. I used my own hand dyed fabrics and two small batik pieces of fabric for the butterflies which I fused. The bottom fringe is made of glass beads and there are Swarovksi crystals on the piece to give it a sense of light and abundance. The woman stretches her arms in an act of trust and hopefulness that she will give and receive love and healing energy.
Lovely, Susan! Just the sort of energy we are seeking for this May 2009 fundraiser for the American Cancer Society.
It’s not too early to submit YOUR jpegs for Collage Mania 2009.
The Call for Artists is here.
The deadline is April 1, 2009, but collages are displayed for patrons to peruse in, more or less, the order in which they are received. I also will be featuring collages here on my blog right up to April 29, the beginning of Preview Week.
Let Karen (Karen(at)KarenStiehlOsborn.com) know you are planning to participating this year and she will add your name to the growing list - over 75 artists already!
Our goal is to raise $20,000 for the American Cancer Society in three days. Last year we raised over $13,000 with more than 200 collages, so we will obviously want to open Collage Mania on May 5 with more than 200 collages. Of course, quality is always more important than quantity.
Please let me know if you have any questions and thank you in advance for your support of this Fiberart For A Cause fundraiser for the American Cancer Society.
