Mat Board finally arrived!

Two weeks ago I forgot to order mat board for my fiber art work.  I thought this would only delay the mounting, photography, and framing of these pieces until the next delivery ... which was supposed to be a week later.  Of course this would be the time that my supplier's van broke down!
 

(Above: In Box CXIII.  Unframed:  28" x 16".  Framed: 34" x 22".  Polyester stretch velvets, previously painted heat-activated adhesive, recycled black acrylic felt substrata, metallic foiling and chiffon scarves with self-guided free-motion machine embroidery and melting.)

Believe me, I'm not really complaining.  I just had to wait ... not stand out in the heat, call expectant clients, and deal with a non-working vehicle!  Because I'm making work for the upcoming Washington Craft Show and the Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft show ... both in NOVEMBER ... I could just continue making work and adding to the stack until the mat board eventually was delivered.

Now, I have a blog post featuring LOTS OF WORK!  In two weeks I managed to stitch one large and two small "In Box" series pieces and seven skinny Lancet Windows!  (Unframed:  27" x 7"; Framed: 31 1/4" x 11 1/4".)

Drum roll please ... here they are!  Just scroll down and enlarge for details!  By the way, over the weekend I finished stitching five Lunette Window ... horizontals!  As soon as they are melted, mounted, and photographed, I'll be posting again!
