The 2012 theme for the International Fibrearts Show was 

Inspired!  Music and Art in Fiber.

 My submission was inspired by 'Rhapsody in Blue' by Gershwin.  

 The music takes twists and turns, repeats motifs in different ways and alternates light and dark.  I tried to incorporate this in my freeform scarf.

 I am trying to catch up a bit so here is my entry in the 2011 International Freeform Guild's Show.

For this challenge I drew my inspiration from Neptune, the god of water and of the sea. My piece is worked in reeled silk the colour of the Mediterranean. Since I chose to work in only one colour I used the texture of many different stitches for a variety of effects. Sharks teeth, shells, fins, aquatic plants, and abandoned fishing nets are some of the motifs that you can find amidst the swirling waters.

I love freeform work. It can be bold or subtle, colourful or monochromatic, but whatever it is, it is always interesting and always unique.
