M...one of my favorite letters. Hmmm... where should I begin. M of course is for MERMAIDS. Before last year I didn't know much about MERMAIDS except for I would hear my two granddaughters talking about. Little girls love MERMAIDS! Last year I entered a call to artists to create Black MERMAIDS for an exhibit at the City Gallery at Waterfront Park in Charleston, South Carolina. I created two MERMAID dolls 
and a MERMAID quilt.
I was overjoyed when all three pieces were accepted for the exhibit and I was able to travel to Charleston for all of the opening events.
M is also for MUD CLOTH and MUSEUM. Being a textile artist I have a love of the beautiful geometric patterns and symbolic prints found in MUD CLOTH designs.
Last summer, I attended an exhibit at a MUSEUM in Oakland, California. A few of my fellow textile artists from Sacramento had quilts and fiber art pieces in the exhibit. I'm very proud to be connected to theses talented artists.M is also for two of my newest dolls, MARGARET and MAKIBA.
M is also for my dolls MIRANDA, MADELINE, MAIXIU, MARIAH, MARTHA SUE, MEG, MILEY and MARTHA. I guess I really do like the letter M. Good night, see you tomorrow.
Textile art is so cool! I've always liked it; I've grown up going to museums and also have a crafty family (meaning a family who makes crafts--not devious!). I've only gotten so far as making very basic little quilt squares, rudimentary knitting, etc. But I love papercrafts and did quite a bit of that for awhile.
