Fiberarts Magazine from Interweave Press

December 27, 2008 by Linda Lanese

Pick up the latest issue of Fiberarts from Interweave Press or Subscribe for a year or two.  Just go to Interweave Press and get all the information you need.     ON THE COVER: Maggie Pavlou, Diana Coat, 2008; multi-layers of wool felt with slashed holes with attached vest. Pavlou’s organic felted garments are featured on page 42. Photo: Maureen Mahoney-Barraclough.
Maggie Pavlou fuses fabric in alchemy of wool and water. Inside her second-story Los Alamos studio, a whisper-soft cloak of merino wool hugs a dress form, rows of holes honeycombing the hemline. The Austrian-born Pavlou turned to wearable art after leaving a longtime career in retail management. She had picked up sewing and knitting in grade school in Graz, Austria’s second-largest city, but never took either craft seriously. Three years ago, a friend gave her some hand-dyed wool roving to play with and she decided to felt it, flattening the fibers with hot, soapy water and rubbing them with her hands to prompt the scales in the wool hairs to interlock.’

Winner of their 2008 fiber Valentine card contest!  Check out all the cards and get some charming ideas.
