The first step was to create various elements that would be included in the finished product. I hand painted the catchphrases onto hand dyed fabrics.
I embroidered a caduceus and a Mac Apple logo.

The Art of Creating a Commission
Over the next few posts I will describe a commission that I completed recently. I will explore the process of designing and creating the piece. Enjoy.
Part one
I was commissioned by the PE MBA (physicians’ executive Masters of business administration) class of 2009 to create a fiber art piece that would be given to the University of Tennessee Department of business as a class gift. This is a group of 37 physicians from around the country, who met every Saturday via teleconference over a period of one year to complete their MBA.
“We’re a fun group, and we’d like this piece to represent who we are as physicians, as well as our experiences in the PEMBA program”, they told me.
The group sent me a list of catch phrases from the course, as well as medical photos, hospital scrubs, surgical instruments, and a broken palm pilot. We agreed on a puzzle type design concept. We also agreed on a size, price, and deadline.

Quote of the Day: Be Yourself
"To be nobody but yourself, in a world which is doing its best day and night to make you like everybody else, means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight . . . and never stop fighting" --E. E. Cummings
You will be rewarded for your originality. Dare to be different!
Peace, Bailey

What is Passion?
Here is a wonderful article about passion. http://www.passionsandpossibilities.com/2010/01/
My definition? (as quoted in the article) "What makes you smile; what gives you energy; what gives you bounce in your step; what gets you out of bed in the morning; what makes you miserable if you don’t have it.” Bailey Earith, founder of Bailey Fiber Art Studio (www.baileyfiberart.com)
