Make a fabric blossom

I just learned about a neat event happening tonight at the Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture (A.K.A. The MAC).

Internationally recognized fabric artist Marie Watt is inviting the public to make flower blossoms for her upcoming exhibit “Forget-Me-Not,” which opens Friday. Each flower represents a fallen Iraqi soldier.

Flower making (see above. Beautiful, huh?) runs from 5 to 8 tonight (the museum says it won’t take you three hours to make a blossom—you can drop in anytime between 5 and 8 but you’re encouraged to be there by 7).

Cost is $10, which gets you into Friday night’s exhibit opening. For more information, go here .
