Inspiration for your textile art may be found in unexpected places. Meet Sue Seeger. Sue is a metal sculptor, friend and neighbor. She lives just up the river from me.
Sue and her husband salvaged this garage and created an awesome studio. The garage was going to be torn down and instead they dismantled it and hauled it up from a Minneapolis backyard and resurrected it in their woods.
And this is where Sue works her magic!These letters were created to spell "Sue Seeger's Art", but Sue's husband Dan is a creative, playful guy and has his way with her letters once in a while.
What does this have to do with fiber arts and quilting?
First of all, I think it's important to expose yourself to art of all kinds. Second, creativity is contagious. So hang out with creative people of all sorts and you will find yourself bubbling with ideas.
Sue has a way with rust and paint . . .
Hmmm . . . rust and paint works with fabric!
Do you remember this? Rust Dyed Fabric made into a Fat-Quarter Scrap-bag™?
Do you see any other influences (other than rust) that I may have been picked up while hanging out with Sue? Perhaps the color palette? Perhaps the choice of the leaf batik?
