Something new is happening

I have decided try to consolidate my activities by blogging over at my website:

https://www.susanhenselprojects.com/blog

I have not yet figiured out HOW to migrate the archives over there...maybe they will have to remain here.  Time and research will tell!

Three Dimensional Embroidery! I forgot to post this!

There is a lot happening in the studio.  I am working with the vacation discoveries and finishing some new work.  This one is titled Chromatic Exertion.

Happy New Year! ANOTHER forgotten post!

Happy New Year! It's the year of the Rat!

Things have been surprisingly frantic around here!  No, not from the holidays.  They were quiet and enjoyable. 

The Year of the Rat is starting out with lots of exhibitions.  I had to make a chart to keep track of it all!


First up, locally, is Common Thread.  My artwork, CHROMATIC WAVE,was used for the postcard.  You can see it in person at the Textile Center of Minnesota,
http://www.textilecentermn.org , 3000 University Ave SE, Mpls, Jan 9-March 14.  The opening reception is January 9, 5:30pm-7pm.

The show runs January 9-February 15 with an opening reception January 11, 6-8pm.  I will be exhibiting CHROMATIC EXERTION.  Parts of this show will travel to the American Swedish Art Institute later in the year.
