and Emiko Carley were

_ in a blue moed. This

- week they’re all smiles.

'. The two North Shore tex-
tile artists received top honours
at a design competition orga-
nized by the Canadian Society
for Asian Arts.

The theme of the competi-

_tion was indigo (the colour and

. the dye).to celebrate nvo cur-
reat exhibitions: All About

Blue at the Vancouver Museum
to April 9 and Cobalt & Indigo

at the Canadian Craft museum
to Nov. 14. About 40 students
from various Lower Mainland
textile or design schools sub-
mitted entries, Nineteen were
sclected for show at Mood
Indigo, the society’s Findrais-
ing dinner and dance Oct. 23

~‘at the Four Seasons Hotel.

Ayimer’s and Carley’s cre-
ations placed first and third in
the competition, netting the
textile designers cash prizes of
$500 and $200 respectively.
Both textile artists studied sur-
face’ design at ~ Capilano

College.

Aylmer’s winning garment,
a vest, was inspired by the fab-
tic itself, a crisp silk organza
that responds well to a variety
of techniques. Dyed in indigo,
it has a diamond-cut hemline
that echoes the epplied and
screened motifs on the body of
the garment, and the tiny mir-
rors suspended on indigo-dyed
silk ribbons,

Carley’s entry included a

“long dress with train and hand-

pleated shawl, both in silk
rayon velvet, dyed in indigo

and adorned with a dragon
motif using a devoré technique.
She also showed a full-length
coat of heavy Thai silk, with
quilted bedice and cuffs and a
dragon motif silk-screened on
the back,

The winning garments will
tour the province next spring as
part of the Canadian Society of
Asian Arts travelling show
Legacy of Blue, which is to
include items from the
Vancouver Museum’s current
exhibition All About Blue.
