The Fyber Cafe just for fun challenge, in 2015, was "Free Floating Flabergast" a made up word, weird and fun, anything goes type of challenge. Maureen recommended it from a cartoon she saved, by Pat Brady.
Amy's "Flabergast & Flotsam" is her photo printed on fabric embellished with beads and sea shells. The second layer is a piece of dried kelp, twisted and embellished with plastic, wire, bottle caps, and a feather.
Cheryl has needle felted a wild and crazy explosion of fiber, her colorful center has a fiber lady shooting out of it. The "Discombobulation" describes it exactly.
Clare's non-traditional tassel is made from rayon threads, tulle & chiffon, it is beaded in multiple colors, that flare out from the tassel like a fuchsia.
Lorraine collected natural materials on her walks and put them together in this amazing wreath. She has a birds nest, dried leaves, moss, and oak galls. She used a spray sealer on it to keep it protected.
Free form crochet is the basis for Meredith's creation, she has added it to the fabric background on her wall hanging. The flowing contours of the crochet contrast to the sharp angles of the fabric design.
"Friar Freddy Frog" plays in a pond created by Peggy, it is a mixed media and fabric collage, with wonderful details.
The undersea scene created by Vi has sparkly beaded jellyfish, and other creatures. Silver printed fabric adds shimmer and a Shibori dyed fabric background adds a soft ocean look.
All these wonderful creations are the results of a Fyber Cafe challenge that stretched our imaginations, took us in new directions and helped us grow as artists. We hoped you enjoyed seeing them, please leave a comment, so we have some feedback.
