Ellen Lindner: Art & Creativity

Today, we had the opening reception that launched Dirty Dozen Exposed! 2009.  This is the annual exhibit put on by my art group, the Dirty Dozen Fiber Artists.  The reception was a huge success, with a room full of visitors throughout the afternoon.  (At one point, it was even hard to get in!)

The women shown below are admiring our challenge pieces, all of which were inspired by the same photo.  Yet, they were all extremely different.

The exhibit included 83 very diverse pieces, which garnered many compliments  It was especially nice to accept these from people who were new to the concept of fiber as art.  They were extremely impressed with our results.

At the end of the afternoon, we were tired,
but also happy with the satisfaction of a job well done.
