TARTs Make Art with Positive/Negative Images

The four talented artists at In Good Company say this: “Our business features the work and art of four women: Sue Engel, Sue Anne Iman, Jamie Grant, and Susan Wetzsteon. It is the collaboration of talent and ideas sparked by an interest in quilting and design which we have turned into a business for the past 15 years. Our focus at present is textile art quilts.” If you are looking for a way to explore textile art topics on a regular basis, the TART program may be just what you are looking for.
Lauren Parker’s (Design) Magic Birds
It’s Monday, so it must be time for a little magic. Last week I shared Kathy Tanner’s elephants. If you missed it, you can read about them here. Today, I’d like to share Lauren Parker’s birds. I have to admit that I’m always thrilled when someone sends in photos of their Design Magic creations – and I’m sure you’ll agree that Lauren’s birds are just delightful.
To start, I need to explain that Lauren is a TART. (That’s a compliment, not a smart remark!) TART is short for Textile ARTist, and TARTs are a group of people exploring various textile art techniques with 4 creative ladies at In Good Company.
