I was very saddened and upset to learn of the death of artist Lenore Tawney tonight. We were at Borders tonight and I was checking out the latest issue of Fiberarts magazine when I read the one page tribute that they had to Lenore who passed away 4 months after her 100th birthday in September of 2007.
She is famous for her amazingly breathtaking sculptural weavings. I have never seen her work in person, but have high hopes to do so one day.
It was her postcards that caught my eye many years ago...
Lenore's book, Signs on the Wind, is one of my most favorite books *ever*. She sent many a collaged and dimensional postcard via the US Postal system, not considering it "finished" until it was left at the post office for the clerks to hand stamp.
She was definitely an extraordinary woman and one who will be very much missed.
