Local Threads at the Figge

The day we went to the Figge to see the Innovations exhibit -- there was a sister-exhibit on a different floor put together by local fiber artists. For me,  this exhibit was way more impressive.

Well, to start off with -- you saw THESE when you entered the room....the one on the left has a front of crocheted potholders, and the pink stripe is human hair...YOU'VE GOTTA LOVE IT, RIGHT??

THIS IS ART, PEOPLE!!

The front was all crocheted pieces -- can you see what the back is??

That's right -- bejeweled sweaters from the 80's...

A closer look at the crocheted pieces...

A dress made out of old photo slides

close up, nothing....

But hey -- FROM A DISTANCE???

Boxer shorts made out of measuring tapes...

I love the metal ends of the measuring tapes ending in the hem of the skirt...

I'm telling you -- THESE LOCAL TEXTILE ARTISTS DID A STELLAR JOB...
