After I noticed this trend I went back to the work of three or four artists who had submitted one red piece and one or two non-reds, and wondered whether I should choose one of the others. But in each case I decided that the red piece was better than the non-red.<br /><br />I think there are trends among artists as well as tastes among jurors.kathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-46140110155233155462012-06-08T18:47:09.775-04:002012-06-08T18:47:09.775-04:00Wow.

Like you, I was unable to attend even though I do live within an easy two hour drive. <br /><br />Yes, you are quite correct that the "big moment" is when I've put on my ventilator mask and start poking holes through layers of polyester velvet and finally melting the work for a heavy-duty heat gun. Years ago I wrote a tutorial. It is at http://artbysusanlenz.blogspot.com/2007/07/how-to-make-in-box.html<br /><br />Thanks so much for sharing my work on your blog! This is wonderful!<br />SusanSusan Lenzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13828597703914908801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-18211988415906901182012-06-08T14:56:00.667-04:002012-06-08T14:56:00.667-04:00I've enjoyed reading your comments from a juro...I've enjoyed reading your comments from a juror's perspective. I often wonder if there's a bias on the jurors' part toward particular colors or designs -- certain quilt shows always seem heavy on trees, flowers, animals or whatever the trend of the year is. I've enjoyed your selections and wish I could see them in person.Sherrie Spanglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16439380401594187156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-72979820299251142312012-06-08T14:12:40.602-04:002012-06-08T14:12:40.602-04:00I've met Susan Lenz when she has been in the U...I've met Susan Lenz when she has been in the UK and she is a power house of creativity. She has made a lot of these stained glass inspired pieces and has included details of her process on her blog http://artbysusanlenz.blogspot.co.uk/<br />but you would have to scroll back quite a way.<br /><br />I hope the opening goes well tonight.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14223691871102821084noreply@blogger.com
