Ode to Marcia Derse

Marcia Derse is a fiber artist extraordinaire. She produces art that is then made into fabric yardage. I bought a one yard piece of fabric from her and created a textile piece. I used scrap fabrics and a vintage piece of crochet work. Once the piece was completed I realized that the piece was Marcia Derse. The color, rhythm, shapes and forms in her original fabric yardage were the celebration. I thanked her profusely via email. She graciously responded that she was always interested in how her material was used. It was a turning point for me. I am now on a solo journey. I will let you know where it leads me.
