Fiber Art


Annual Art Fair
Trio of  Fiber Art Dolls
Talented Artist

  Barbara Riegel Bend is a sculptural fiber artist in Roberts, Wisconsin.  Her booth was one of the most colorful at the St. Kate's Art Fair, an annual event which is held on the green campus lawn of the university. It's a sea of white tents with juried arts and crafts of all kinds.

  3. At first I thought these must be from somewhere in Central America! I was surprised that the artist is from Wisconsin.

    1. Altho I would have liked to buy one, I didn't. One needs to be disciplined when embarking on downsizing.

  13. Not my kind of thing, but I must admit Ms. Bend is quite talented...I like how the heads of these "dolls" are made to express movement and action.
