That’s a Wrap!
Did I mention I was going to do a TV interview? Well, last night was the night. After lots of preparation with my co-interviewee, Dij Pacarro, we were anxious to talk about fiber art on “Focus on Art,” a local show.
It ended up being rather fun, and we were both pleased with it. (Although we haven’t viewed it yet. It will air in November.)
The crew members were very welcoming and oh so patient as we tried to rangle our quilts, demos and other props into a workable arrangement. And our interviewer, Pearl Ollie, was energetic, pleasant, and engaging. To top it all off, we managed to talk about our local fiber art group, one of our primary goals.
Our interview was actually two fifteen-minute segments. These photos were taken during the break, as we set up for the second half. (Click images for a larger view.)

The photo below shows the demo board, ready to go. I demonstrated my process,
and with the help of Pearl and Dij, added flower petals to the waiting background.
(This is the start of a commission piece, in the style of Cosmo Duet.)
P.S. Thanks to Dij’s husband, Rudy, for catching us off guard and capturing these candid shots.
How exciting! Congratulations, Ellen.
