While checking on the Southwest Fiber Fest from last weekend I found the Wind Rose Fiber Studio report of the show. I naturally had to pick these photos up after letting Jennifer know that her blog spot from yesterday was part of mine today.
"Back again! The chores are ...umm... mostly done, but I'd rather blog about my
next artist. Her name is Michelle Johnson from Laughing Cloud Studio in Prescott,
Arizona. Her website is still in production, but you can find contact
information through the link as well as the galleries that carry her work and
her upcoming shows. I had such a nice time talking to Michelle. I hope she
doesn't mind if I call her Michelle. First of all, I think it's adorable that
she's wearing a skein of her yarn around her neck like a necklace. I had to
laugh at myself, because I didn't notice this until I was loading my pictures.
In fact, I have to confess that in spite of being surrounded by skeins of what I
believe were hand painted yarn, I was focused on the fiber. A terrible lack of
observation on my part. I think that because I do more spinning of yarn than
buying yarn, I get hopelessly distracted by dyed locks of wool", writes Jennifer Pedersen-Giles. Jennifer is a fiber artists from Chandler, Arizona and I follow her blog to fest on her hand spun yarns.
Michelle Johnson is showing her work at Arts Prescott Cooperative Gallery on Historical Whiskey Row. Here is a photo also taken by Jennifer at the Southwest Fiber Fest. Michelle enjoying the Arizona Southwest Weather and the Fiber Fest.
