The theme is “Dreaming Wildly in a Primary Color.” When you contribute $5 to the prize-money pool, you get a bag containing items (fabric, buttons, etc.) in one of the primary colors. Your task is to use at least a portion of all the elements in the bag (e.g., at least one button in your color, at least a good portion of the fabric in your color) and to combine them with other elements to create a piece of fiber art (2D or 3D) to exhibit during April. Deadline for turning in the work to Carol and JoAnn is the March meeting (March 23). Learn more on the DAFA websiteand at the meeting on Monday night. (Don’t forget to bring $5 to get in on the fun!)

At this time of the year as webmaster, Sharon Giles receives many questions about resizing or perfecting images of artwork for show entries, such as for the Texas & Neighbors (TxN) show (entry deadline Feb. 1st). Here is her advice:
General tip: Images should look professional — they should show ONLY the work of art (no mat, no frame, no easel or background of any kind.)
PIXLR.com
You don’t have to buy special graphics software! I recommend for both Mac and Windows users the free online app at PIXLR.com. They also offer free apps that you can download to your computer, phone or tablet if you don’t want to work online. The interface is both easy to use and powerful. For support on the online features, see https://support.pixlr.com/hc/en-us/sections/200581900-Pixlr-Editor. For other tutorials on special topics, see http://blog.pixlr.com/tagged/tutorials.
So if you can find thousands of videos on just PIXLR, just think how many you can find on the graphic software that’s already on your device. Just go to YouTube and search on the name of your software and a keyword such as “resizing”, etc. to find what you’re looking for.
Here’s an example for Photoshop Elements:
Photographing Your Artwork
On Art News DFW, I have posted a guide to finding guides on this topic:
It includes such expert sources as photographer JR Compton, Oxide Gallery, ArtistNetwork, and Empty Easel.
An alternative method for small works is scanning instead of photography, which usually results in better color and less distortion.
You’re probably going to guess that I’m going to suggest searching YouTube for videos on the topic. So here’s a few examples:

“PAINT THE GLEN” PAINT OUT A PLEIN-AIR EVENT SATURDAY, MAY 18, 2015
Glen Rose, TX
Beginning as early as 7:30 a.m on Sat., Apr. 18., plein-air painters will check in and begin painting from Barnard’s Mill throughout the historic downtown area, and across the river in Heritage Park.
Plein-air is derived from the French words “en plein air”, meaning to paint outdoors. Sketching and painting outdoors has become tremendously popular in the last several years, so this is a marvelous opportunity to either paint in the event, or to observe artists while they paint. Artists welcome interested observers, so plan on visiting the historic and scenic sections of Glen Rose and the surrounding area and talking with the artists.
On Fri., Apr. 17, a reception and optional Nocturnal Paint is scheduled.
For more information, see the flyer: 2015 Paint the Glen

Texas State University invites professional artists, or artist teams, to submit qualifications to design and fabricate sculpture or sculptures for an exterior and/or interior public space on its campus in San Marcos, Texas. The site is a new residence hall complex, currently under construction on Moore Street.
The Moore Street residence hall complex serves undergraduate students at Texas State, nearly all of whom are freshmen. Their first experience of college life begins on this site, meeting new friends, and preparing for new and life-changing experiences, and meeting the challenge presented by new fields of knowledge and learning. At the west end of campus, the new building’s main entrance will face east toward the unique grounds of Texas State University, built into the hills above San Marcos, characterized by expansive use of brick, stone, and dozens of buildings joined together by stairways, ramps, and terraces. The campus also includes the headwaters of a stunningly clear and cold-spring fed San Marcos River. The area’s visually striking geology and ecology are unique to this part of Texas.
ELIGIBLITY
This public art commission is open to all professional artists or artist-led teams with experience in similar such projects.
As this is a Request for Qualifications, not a Request for Proposals, we are providing only an introductory look at the site with the rendering provided at this link: https://www.callforentry.org/fair_plans/2259.jpeg. The Texas State University Public Art Committee will provide complete plans to the artists that are invited to submit proposals, as described in Section 6 of the RFQ.
