Iowa State Fair Embroidery

Specimen, mixed media fiber, 2024.

I entered a couple of artworks in the Iowa State Fair this past summer in the fiber arts category. I didn’t have high hopes of even having work accepted, as there are many people who enter each year. I was pleasantly surprised when two artworks were accepted.

Earlier in the stitching process.

My Specimen artwork got a third place! I’m working on a few more fiber mixed media projects now. It’s slow going for me right now, but my goal is to carve out a little time each day.
