Are you familiar with artist Lisa Solomon? She's always up to some super cool creative project or another. Last year her Sen solo exhibit really excited my imagination and I am very much looking forward to seeing it in LA next fall. When doing that exhibit, Lisa put out a call for contributor help creating the 1,000 doilies on her blog. I wish I had known how to crochet then, I would have loved to help out!
But, now, Lisa has a new idea and is calling for contributor help again. That's where we come in. There are a few different ways to help out; create some doily illustrations, stitch some French knots, spread the word, or do all three!
I'm in for all three (naturally). Here are my pieces ready to go. Some French knots whose number signifies my female ancestors that have influenced and inspired different creative interests in me. I love that you get to pick your own color and numbers and stitch with meaning. How exciting to have that energy from contributors included in her show.
The set of salmon knots is for my immediate family of four.
I do love making French knots. Lisa has a video tutorial if you want to see one.
And my imperfectly illustrated doilies...love that she WANTS them to be imperfect.
After seeing these recent contributor pieces, I already want to do more of both ;).
Want to play too? There are some specific instructions, so be sure to read her post thoroughly to understand how you can help best. If nothing else, we can help spread the word, right?!? So love to support and cheer on artists! Let me know if you're going to help out, and if you do a post with your contributions, leave a link so we can all see!
Happy Saturday, happy weekend!
