Priscilla May Alden of East Boothbay, Maine, is represented with three pictorial tapestries of wool and silk, inspired by the ocean in waves of color and injections of sparkling yarn. . . "Rocky Coast" is the most pictorial with triangular shapes in the top and bottom borders and is 23” x 20”. . .[Dolores Broberg’s] two small delightful surprises in the form of woven purses are presented on a pedestal with sea-smoothed stones and shells. "Winter Water" and "Home at the End of the Day" are small but powerful and show a traditional and useful side of tapestry combined with her artistry. . .

Two small delightful surprises in the form of woven purses [by Dolores Broberg]. . . are charming and finished with nice touches: metal beads on the edges of one and a metal button that is the clasp on the other. . . .

Bonnie Eadie of Standish, Maine, takes her inspiration from important events in her life and spends the necessary time to commit her appreciation to her pictorial vision. A trip to Guatemala, for instance, inspired her use of colors and border treatment of a rendition of St. Francis and his great friend Brother John. Her straight-forward design, 26” square, takes on an old and friendly feeling in the juxtaposition of the priests with birds in the trees. . .
