Luna Azul Studio

Luna Azul, Fiber Artist

Karen — Mon, 07 May 2012 01:24:43 +0000

The past two weekends, I have been out at Scarborough Renaissance Festival. It was so wonderful to get to dress up as Luna Azul, the Renaissance Fiber artist! I met so many interesting people who loved my art scarfs, purses and mixed media collage. I will be back out there on May 19th and 20th for one more weekend this year. Here are some pictures of my adventures in the Renaissance Era!

My hand-spun Art Yarns

I have been working ever spare minute on pieces for my upcoming participation in Scarborough Fair. I am creating lots of new fiber works and plenty of fun things for people to choose from. The weekends I am participating in are, April 21st and 22nd, April 28th and 29th and May 19th and 20th. Decked out in full costume and speaking the Kings English with a Texas accent! I will be selling my wears in a little shop up front in Scarborough Village. I can’t wait. I have gone out to the fair for fun so many times and this year, I get to be a part of it!

I have to share some of the pictures my husband took of my Fiber Art. They capture the essence of my art so well. I am so lucky to have such a great husband who is also a great photographer! Thank you Jim.

A New year, New Weaving!

Here it is 2012 and I am so excited, I just know its going to be the best ever. I have started a new warp on my loom, making some very textured art work from Alpaca, leather, semi precious stones and some of my wool hand-spun yarns. I am having so much fun creating each row of woven texture! I am working on so many new pieces, it seems the new year has filled my mind with new ideas to bring out into the world. My next show is March 10th and 11th at the Funky Finds Spring Fling. Can’t wait to bring out all my the new creations. Better get back to it, hope to see you there!

Whats Weaving Now

Karen — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 21:31:41 +0000

I have been working every chance I get on new art scarfs for my upcoming shows. I have to say, every time I finish one, it becomes my “favorite”! Color and texture are such a big part of why I love to weave and spin fiber. It is just too fun creating the color combinations and textures on each scarf. I love deciding on what yarn to lay in next and then taking it off the loom or finishing the braiding and seeing how everything comes together to create that piece of art.

Weaving on the Baby Wolf

I have two pieces going on my baby loom, a warp for scarfs and one for belts. I am working with two different ideas as to color so it never gets boring, weaving the same colors over and over!

Art Scarf "Coffee Bean"

Art Scarf "Cotton Field"

These are two of my Braided Art Scarfs made from my hand spun Art yarns.

This is a warp for art scarfs on my bigger floor loom. The scarf is called “Not Quite Ripe”.

New Off the Loom

Art scarf "Wild Ride"

I just finished a table scarf or bed scarf (it works for both) on my loom. It is made from recycled remnants of silk cut into ribbon yarn. The colors are so bold. It would look fantastic on a long wooden dinner table!

On the loom, still weaving.

The work in progress.

I am working on two scarfs and a belt right now, both looms are going! I have had so much fun putting the colors together and creating each piece.

Mixed Media Collage

I have been working on these two pieces off and on for the last year and decided that I am now finished with them. I have really enjoyed working with paper collage again. It is so creative for me. Like putting a puzzle together, I go through magazine after magazine looking for just the right piece to go here… then another to go here… It is like painting with oils, you can go back and rework an area many times within the process of completing the work. I step back and look at the whole and see oh, right there, I need another piece to bring it all together!
