Myrle's Delica Enigma...

This Peyote stitch pattern on metal frame vessel 

was chosen by juror 

Bruce W. Pepich Executive Director 

of the Racine Art Museum

for the Wayne Art Center 2009 Craft Forms Exhibition.

The form measures 15" high x 11"wide x 11" deep

One day Myrle saw a form similar to this and 

decided she wanted to bead something with that same shape. 

So she drew up what she wanted and a friend of hers 

welded it together for her... Then she went to town!

All pattern artists have one thing in common – they all use patterns in their art. The medium or technique is not important as long as someone employs a combination of elements or shapes repeated in a recurring and regular arrangement. When it comes to art, patterns have been used from ancient times. They exist in nature; the repeating units of shape and form can be identified in the world that surrounds us.
