| Julie B. Booth's "Industrial" fabric for Susan's collection. |
I finally finished my contribution to
The Printed Fabric Bee's Industrial Collection. It was due to Queen Bee,
Susan Purney Mark, three weeks ago. But, as sometimes happens, life and vacation intervened.

From the beginning, this was a bit of a challenge for me. First, it was
the color scheme...neutrals. I have to admit, I'm sort of a color junky.
I often admire artists that have the ability to work with neutrals. So
very subtle...where one tends to pay more attention to marks and
texture. Often subdued color artworks can appear to be more
sophisticated. Then there was the theme...industrial. I admit that I
don't get that inspired by all things industrial. Fortunately, Susan had
a very loose interpretation of the theme. She was more interested in
old industrial...rust, peeling paint, etc....
