Jennifer Libby Fay: March 2012
http://jenniferlibbyfay.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 25, 2012. Autumn Etude • 21" x 14" • cloth, dye • ©2012 Jennifer Libby Fay. If it weren’t for my friends and fellow textile artists, Dotti Day. And Joanne Salz (who is, sadly websiteless), I would not be the artist (or person) I am today. Our friendship is supported by our desire to make art, our love of textiles and our passion (some would say obsession) for learning and inspiration. Dotti and I attended Marie-Therese Wisniowski’s workshop on Disperse Dyes. Is a fantastic resource. PRISCIL...

Jennifer Libby Fay: RUBICON: point of no return
http://jenniferlibbyfay.blogspot.com/2012/05/rubicon-point-of-no-return.html
Wednesday, May 23, 2012. RUBICON: point of no return. Overture for Today • 22" x 22" • cloth, dye • ©2012 Jennifer Libby Fay. I have tried, a few times, to describe the process I usually go through when I choose a theme for a body of work—I don’t really know where the seed thought for a concept comes from. It feels like a nudge, from the universe, from God, from my unconscious, or even the collective unconscious? Bohemian Grove • 21" x 13" • cloth, dye • ©2012 Jennifer Libby Fay. May 2 - June 1. As Alyso...

Jennifer Libby Fay: January 2011
http://jenniferlibbyfay.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 26, 2011. Winter Sunset Scarf • 10" x 72" • ©2010 Jennifer Libby Fay. On the morning of Christmas Eve there was only had one errand left. We were on our way to the Fed Ex substation to pick up the case of wine I'd ordered from Hafner Vineyard. One of our favorite California wineries. Do you want to stop for coffee? What I WANT, I replied, is a REAL bagel, with REAL cream cheese, and LOX with a slice of tomato and some capers. THAT'S what I WANT.". No, that can't possibly be. Dee Mallon...

Jennifer Libby Fay: Do Your Work
http://jenniferlibbyfay.blogspot.com/2012/12/do-your-work.html
Thursday, December 20, 2012. Feeling disconnected and out of sorts, I decided to make this a “windfall walk”. I learned about windfall walks a couple of years ago from the textile artist, India Flint. At a Surface Design Association. Sometimes I collect only photographs, or my thoughts. Eucalyptus seed pods • Bodega, California • ©2012 Jennifer Libby Fay. I have the good fortune to work with my friend Dotti Day. Isn’t it beautiful? Dotti Day • Shibori Scarf detail • ©2012 Dotti Day.

Jennifer Libby Fay: Peters Valley • Day One
http://jenniferlibbyfay.blogspot.com/2012/08/peters-valley-day-one.html
Wednesday, August 22, 2012. Peters Valley • Day One. I should be concentrating on what workshop instructor, Lisa Grey. Is saying about mixing dye, but all I can think about are the ticks. Yes, ticks, as in Deer Ticks, the kind that carry Lyme’s disease. I am in New Jersey at Peters Valley Craft Center. Attending a workshop called, Disperse Dyes: Reinventing the Wheel. I’m here at Lisa’s invitation as her guest and also because this is what I do. Making Art Makes a Difference. Our first day Lisa covered e...

Studio Threads: Snow Dyeing & The Blizzard of 2010
http://studiothreads.blogspot.com/2010/02/snow-dyeing-blizzard-of-2010.html
The adventures and creations of an Art Quilter. February 12, 2010. Snow Dyeing and The Blizzard of 2010. After pouring the dye over the fabrics. As you know, we got blasted with the Blizzard of 2010 as they are calling it here in the DC area. I spent a lot of time just watching it snow, watching movies and snow dyeing (not to mention shoveling). I have posted some pictures of some of my fabrics. It was so much fun! Vern shoveling snow below and a view of our street during the blizzard.

Studio Threads: New Work, New Direction
http://studiothreads.blogspot.com/2010/04/new-work-new-direction.html
The adventures and creations of an Art Quilter. April 8, 2010. New Work, New Direction. Autumn Woods I (Work-In-Progress). I just got home after three weeks in Ohio. I was babysitting our son's dog and house sitting while he was on military duty. I am still unpacking and doing laundry. I had to do yard work right away, it's like Summer here in Virginia and the grass was out of control. I hope to post more soon. My quilt guild is doing a dyeing class in my barn later this month, but no snow in Florida.

Studio Threads: Old Work Revisited
http://studiothreads.blogspot.com/2010/10/old-work-revisited.html
The adventures and creations of an Art Quilter. October 13, 2010. Sometimes you have to look at old work with a new eye. Today, I painted lots of fabric and used Dynaflo to paint cotton pads and pull them apart. There is a new series in the works. I really like the new light on the water.
