Jane Green's Art

ALS ARTISAN BOUTIQUE

 SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 22 at the SHERATON ANNAPOLIS FROM 10-6   The Sheraton is right across form the Annapolis Mall.  I will have a booth and will be selling and exhibiting my paintings.   This is a great place to do some Christmas shopping.  Go to http://www.alsinfo.org and scroll down to see information about the 55 artists participating. This is a wonderful event to benefit people suffering from Lou Gehrig's Disease. I hope to see you there!
 

Color and Design Workshops

 This is a small piece I designed for my color workshops coming up in 2010.  Those of you who have taken the Color and Design class should know the color family ??????? I will post the design on www.rugandwool.com. The pattern, Fantasy Flower will be available shortly. This piece is also a good example of broken borders and the use of casseroles in the scrolls. 

The workshop will be offered at the Howard County Center for the Arts  February 27.   Stay tuned for a Color Family workbook coming out next year.
 

 I read  something today that I thought I would like to share. Too often we are caught up in our daily routines and never stop to smell the roses.  Consider the following:

• Work as if it was your first day
• Forgive as soon as possible
• Love without boundaries
• Laugh without control
• and never stop smiling

Have a wonderful week--Love, Jane  P.S.   The photograph is of Connemara in Ireland. It is a beautiful valley.
 

Rug Hooking Video

 I have produced a first You Tube video. The purpose of the videos is to show some of the techniques in my new book above. I know that I am a visual learner and it helps to see how to do it rather than read about it. Many of you are also like me!  The first video is really #2 in the series and is all about "shagging."  Shagging is my way of depicting grass or vertical forms in a work of fiber. To see the video go to You Tube and search under Jane's rug and wool university. The link is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c39jpcUQwOA      There will be more videos as we get closer to the end of November when the book is shipped. If you want a signed copy from me let me know now as I am placing my order shortly.   Also--Let me know if the video is helpful--you can rate it on the You Tube site.  More coming as soon as I can book my husband to take them!    Sincerely, Jane
