Fiber sculpture artist Sheila Hicks. In 1957, while in South America she developed her interest in working with fibers. After founding workshops in Mexico, Chile, and South Africa, and working in Morocco and India, she now divides her time between her Paris studio and New York. Her works are in the permanent collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, New York, and Centre Pompidou in Paris to name a few.

⬖⬗⬘⬖⬗ Veronica Ibarra ⬖⬗⬘⬖

With a makeup brush in one hand and a camera in the other Veronica Ibarra transforms herself and her subjects. She captures self expression and invokes a timeless place. She is an inventive spirit that can create magic with whatever surrounds her. Inspiring to no end, I love Veronica's eye and those red lips.

Here are some photographs from when I lived in New York City. Veronica and I lived in the East Village a few blocks from each other. We fed chocolate muffins to squirrels while we sipped our coffee in the park. Late night drunken cheese pizza and feet sore from dancing in our platforms. I miss our wild New York days! 

I was always amazed by the new face Veronica had created for me!  

⑃⑂⑃⑂⑃ Dogon ⑃⑂⑃⑂⑃

The Dogon are a people from Mali, in West Africa, believed to be descended from ancient Egyptians. Their belief system includes astronomical information so detailed and accurate that many wonder how they came to acquire this knowledge of the universe.
According to the Dogon, they were visited by a race of extra-terrestrial beings called the Nommos thousands of years ago. The Nommos were ugly, amphibious beings who landed on Earth in a spinning ark, causing great noise and wind. They came from a star invisible to the human eye which orbits the bright star Sirius every 50 years. They shared with the Dogon knowledge of Jupiter's four moons, Saturn's rings, and the fact that the planets in our solar system orbit the sun. This influences their ritual life and art, and they celebrate the orbit of the Nommos' home star.

What an amazing experience this past weekend was selling at my first ever vintage show! The event took place at the Cooper Design Space on the eleventh floor. It had quite a view of downtown Los Angeles. Just before the event began I took a sneak peek at other booths that made taking photographs hard since there were so many one of kind pieces to try on...

✜✜✜ A Current Affair ✜✜✜

The past several weeks have been busy for Prism Of Threads! This weekend I will have a booth at the illustrious vintage show A Current Affair. I've been preparing a collection of vintage textile huipil inspired dresses & silk screened my own P.O.T neon magic mushroom shirts. Joining me at the booth will be my beautiful friend Rhiannon selling her Ghost Dancer jewelry; one of a kind Native American inspired beaded earrings. 
Here are some looks from past & present Affairs styled by Joey Grana of Scout.
Artist Edith Abeyta will create a site specific installation for A Current Affair! She uses salvaged material to create these free form sculptures.
Mondette featured Prism Of Threads on their website as a pre-Current Affair review on new vendors to the show! So excited & looking forward to being apart of this epic event.
