I recently popped of to have my say at
The Painter's Key in response to an article about an issue that been on my mind - working big, working small. This twice weekly newsletter has become one of my favorite daily reads. It's becoming more relevant to me as I move to step out of the "fiber" artist box without abandoning fiber as my medium.
And, thanks to
Jude for the mention of her recent acquisition of "Mayhem", I have been scrambling to upgrade my
store and commit to selling some recent things that I wasn't ready to part with. The response to her post was a great emotional lift. Actual SALES!
There have been a lot of inquiries about the fiber fossils (thanks for that too, J) which sounds a bit more inviting than what I was calling them - fiber mummies - and I am going ahead with mounting a few other pieces in the same way.
And before I forget AGAIN have you seen this absolute
wonder of a piece?
I am so proud of you Arlee!

Fiber fossils! Perfect. I think I already told you I've done this same thing, Deb...and...have found that people are fascinated with the stiffened textural quality of varnished a textile piece brushed with medium (i've also used varnishes).
I like what you said there: "the design has to be created for our hunter's eye "----the myopia of stitching needs to be viewed ourselves as we work at arm's length to keep focused, paradoxicaly enough.
I'm glad your sales are up! And thank you for the mention--hey everybody, the link to my blog goes to a piece that was made with one of Deb's amazing hand dyed damasks!
This piece really grabs me! That red spot looks like a playful creature coming to life.
