Trail’s End Art Association, 656 A St.

Presenting “New Directions,” an exhibit by six women who put down their paintbrushes to explore fiber arts: Gheri Fouts, Connie Gerth, Nancy Karacand, Tj Lev, Mary Schlunegger and Liz Luther.

Fouts usually shows watercolors, but this month she spins and dyes wool fleece for custom yarn and collects pine needles for basketry.

Gerth has sewn, quilted, crocheted, knit and embroidered all her life. For this exhibit, she used reclaimed and recycled fibers including reprocessed wool, yarn spun from recycled bottles and scrap fabric.

Karacand made a carnelian butterfly necklace using seed beads and carnelian teardrop beads. Her coil basket uses novelty yarns and freshwater pearls. Lev has set aside paints and tried historical practices of hand stitching and quilting.

Schlunegger, a retired interior designer, moved from rooms to canvas, where she combines all sorts of materials and objects into delightful art. Luther stitches with silk and metal, combining embroidery techniques with original designs inspired by her surroundings. She often adds sand dollars and seashells to her fiber projects.
