We are changing things up here at Fantastic Fibers Miami! This month as we prepare to celebrate the Springtime holidays, Passover, and Easter, we are taking Fantastic Fibers Miami on a field trip.

Where: The Lowe Art Museum

When: Friday, March 30, 2018

Time: 2:00 pm                    RSVP required: pamela@pamelapalmadesigns.com

Meet at the entry. We will chat a bit, share info, work, ideas, then tour the exhibition, Antillean Visions: Maps and the Making of the Caribbean , nearly 200 rare, beautiful, and historically significant maps of the Caribbean. Interesting! 

The Lowe has so many treasures! The glass gallery, its antiquities including bits of pre-Columbian Peruvian textiles (my favorite), contemporary art, and of course, a wonderful gift shop.

You may know me as a weaver but do you know what else I do? I am a multi faceted Fiber Artist, Textile Artist, and Textile Designer. Which is why I use the hashtag #notjustaweaver in my social media posts.

I learned to sew by hand when I was a very young child, then I learned to knit and embroider.  I used to fantasize about how things are made. That is the early sign of a blossoming designer. By 7th grade, thanks to Home Ec, I learned to read sewing patterns and I began to design and sew my own clothes. I always prefer to have my own look. You can do that when you can sew.

So, sew! March brought me back to my sewing and embroidery roots. I started with this Vogue blouse pattern. I, of course, made it in my own colorways, not the image on the pattern envelope. My camera added its own value.

More to come as I continue my adventure into my roots!

PEACE IS PATRIOTIC MIXED MEDIA FLAGS

Flags #1 $175        and          Flag #2  $195 

I believe that Peace is always in season.  Peace is also Patriotic.  Representations of Freedom, and Liberty are appropriate year round as these are the cornerstones of our nation.

You can honor your own peace with any of these four imaginative, mixed media, fiber art works in your home. I have created this body of work as positive expressions of my own personal love of freedom and independence.  My mixed media weavings are skillfully woven on looms incorporating unexpected materials in to each one. Unique, hand woven works of art are designed and created by me, Pamela Palma, in my studio at the Bakehouse Art Complex, Miami. Make an appointment to see the work or  buy online now with free shipping.

Flag #3  $175        and          Flag #4  $195

Flag #1 and Flag #2 feature stars and stripes fabrics. Flag #3 and Flag #4 are woven  of shiny papers. I love to upcycle and recycle. All works are hand woven by me on looms. I hand dyed shredded US currency and interlaced wads (see image) of it into the body of the weavings. There are four individual art works available and ready to hang on your walls. Sold separately. Buy now with Paypal. Free Shipping in continental US!  Available here
