I have been working

I love the spring...because that means it's time to break out the dye buckets and paper pulp! I have been dyeing fabric. Lots of fabric. Here are a few textile-love links for you:

aboubakar fofana (I just discovered this one....breathtaking)

lena corwin (I L-O-V-E her book!)

dharma trading (my favorite place to get textile supplies from)

dosa (click on special projects and then the life of jamdani)

There. That should tide you over until next time.

Want One!

From the lovely, lovely Photojojo. *LOVE* this!

I'm back...

...and ready to blog again. The format here is going to change, a little. I am going to try to post more ideas, tutorial links, artists, shows, etc. Let me know what you think!

So true!

From color to gorgeous Black and White

This tutorial is brought to you by the lovely folks at Photojojo. And the letter "C" for camera. Now go grab yours and take some pictures!!!

Artprize

This is, quite possibly, one of the coolest things ever. Please take part...I know I am! I will be posting my progress here, too. If you want your progress posted, please email me to let me know. This is so exciting!

I feel like upcycling

I have this strong, overwhelming urge to upcycle something. DO you ever get this? I have no idea what I will do, though. I just want to re-purpose something and be both spontaneous and creative. Unpredictable and awesome. I found this really cool antique/junk shop in town and just may have to go tomorrow and look. I do need some creative storage solutions for my studio and I would like to make my home more "us" if you know what I mean. I have not done much decorating at all, aside from painting the boys' rooms and the living room. I want to have art parties and people over for art sales or a progressive dinner or something. I wonder what I will come up with? Any ideas, suggestions and/or comments are greatly appreciated and welcomed.
