\t\t\t\tLyric Kinard won $1,000.00 from Busy Bee Quilt Shop for her 1st Place: Art Abstract winning quilt, Remains of the Day\"\"<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\nLyric Kinard regrets that she didn\u2019t spend more time developing her creative outlet in the visual arts when she was growing up. Her father was a high school art teacher and she refused to take the art lessons from him that the rest of her siblings enjoyed. Instead, Lyric chose music. She was a working musician and also studied creative writing and architecture through college. Later, she dabbled in watercolor and pottery. She put a hold on her creative side when she became a mother.\nKnowing she was missing her creative sense of self, a friend decided to get Lyric out of the house and took her to a traditional quilt bee. Lyric loved it and learned solid fundamental techniques from the amazing women she met. A couple of years later, Lyric saw her first art quilt and was enchanted. Up until that point, she hadn\u2019t understood the potential that textiles had as a creative medium. Lyric was immediately hooked and hasn\u2019t looked back since. What she enjoys about working with textiles is that she can create art a few stitches at a time, five minutes here and there, and doesn\u2019t have to worry about the \u201cpaint drying on the brush while I\u2019m taking care of the kids.\u201d\"\"<\/a>\nHow did Remains of the Day <\/em>come about? Recalls Lyric, it \u201cwas literally that – a creation from the dwindling remains of a collection of hand dyed cloth used to create a series of work for an exhibit at the Visions Museum in Sand Diego. The pile dwindled but each piece of shibori <\/a>was too beautiful and inspiring not to immediately use for the next abstract quilt.\u201d Lyric said that it took her whole life, experimenting and failing and practicing to get to a point where she could succeed in creating this piece. She worked a number of uncatalogued hours to dye the cloth, cut it, arrange it and sew it.\nBecause Remains of the Day <\/em>is a \u201csmall quilt,\u201d Lyric was surprised that she had won first place for Art Abstract. She used her winnings for out of town expenses associated with her daughter\u2019s recent wedding.\nWhat\u2019s next for Lyric and her fiber artistry? \u201cI follow where the works themselves lead. Sometimes I have an idea to start with. Sometimes I have a destination. Many times the work itself carries me to a different place than I imagined. That\u2019s a good thing.\u201d\nTo learn more about Lyric, visit her website.<\/a>]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
