It’s Thanksgiving weekend and I am grateful for family, friends, my art/passion, well being, and all that I have. I am a very lucky person indeed.
Where am I with my art? Well- my “Heatwave NYC” quilt got rejected for the High Fiber Diet show. So I re-entered it in the 2017 Excellence in Fibers show (along with my “Rio Verde” quilt)- sponsored by Fiber Arts Magazine . They were not chosen for the live show in San Jose. This of course put 
me in a bit of a funk. However I was just notified that I have been accepted in their on-line gallery! Note this site http://fiberartnow.net/portfolio/excellence-in-fibers-2017/ is still under construction.
Another exciting development for me is my clarity about my “Cloth Portals”. Cloth Portals is the name I have given to the smaller pieces I am creating to be used as meditation focus pieces –like one would use a mandala. Making these pieces is my heart work… and I especially like to make them after doing Tarot readings for clients. Then these custom pieces can help the person be reminded of/focus on whatever clarity arose from their reading (Non-custom pieces can be used to help any meditator connect to whatever is up for them –peace; strength; purity; self love etc.) Earlier this month I did a reading that focused on balancing feelings and intuition — this 
Cloth Portal-“Fire and Water” was what I was inspired to make. I felt such joy making this Portal! I gained so much from this experience. I now know that I need to focus on creating more pieces- both customized and archetypal. Please watch this section of my website grow – and please get in touch if you would like a reading or want a Cloth Portal designed for where you are at – right now in the moment.
Wishing all a much joy and light for this coming season!
Love Toni
You do Tarot Readings?????? Schedule me in.
Yes I do…
let me know if you want to schedule
So glad you persisted and re-entered and that two pieces were accepted. Now more people will be able to appreciate your art.
Congratulations!
many thanks
