Barn Blast 3/31/11 – Wearable Arf Exhibit Coming in April!

Join artists from California to New York as they celebrate the artwork of dreams.

Style, vision, and imagination intertwine to create inspirational art-to-wear featuring embellishment, surface design, and yarn and fabric manipulation combined with masterful sewing, knitting, beading, felting, crocheting embroidery, weaving, hand-painting, spinning and quilting skills.

Wearable Arf adorns “Woman’s Best Friend” in ways never dreamed of. Fun and fabulous, one-of-a-kind adornments, quilted and embellished for our four-legged friends.
