Do you say poyn·seh·tee·uh or poin-sed-uh? Apparently either way is okay, depending on who you ask! It would be an understatement to say I love flowers and have used them a few times in my artwork. Winter always makes me think of the poinsettia plant and so it’s probably no surprise that once again, I’ve… Continue reading Potato Patato and the Winner

Changing Ways
I laugh when I think back to the days when I would only work on one project at a time, start to finish, and they were usually pretty big size (quilt) projects. Now I’m usually working on at least three projects at a time. Maybe it’s because I’m older and there are so many things… Continue reading Changing Ways
That’s Interesting
“That’s interesting” is sometimes the comment my Mister gives when looking at my art. He has been incredibly supportive through all these years of my art making, but sometimes when he doesn’t “get it,” or care for the art piece, he knows how to be diplomatic. I found it very interesting that because the subject… Continue reading That’s Interesting
It’s November!
It’s interesting to me how time can seem to go by slowly and other times so quickly. I was exciting to be trying some new things (for me anyway) on the gel print plate. I made one print and for some reason decided to clean my plate; nothing would work, I mean nothing! So after… Continue reading It’s November!
Pumpkin Two Ways
First, in case you didn’t catch it, I had the date wrong for the Oct hummingbird notecard set giveaway. It will be announced next post, Oct. 27, rather than the 25th. I’ll still close entry on the 23rd. In an early post about printing fabric on brown paper bags I shared a painted and embroidered… Continue reading Pumpkin Two Ways
Quick Quilting
I added a border and started quilting the cat on a mat. It’s raw edge fused and made from painted fabric, I wrote about it here. I decided to not make the piece a square rectangle but to follow the edge of the green mat. I may just look like a bad job instead of… Continue reading Quick Quilting
Hummingbird Cards and Giveaway
I’m happy to say a great group of enthusiastic students worked on their own hummingbird notecards in my class, at Visions Art Museum, this past Sunday. Here are some of their works in progress. I thank them for allowing me to share… In keeping with the hummingbird theme the giveaway for October is one set… Continue reading Hummingbird Cards and Giveaway
Always Ideas
I’m getting ready to teach a class on Sunday, these are strange times to be teaching live, but I really am looking forward to it. As promised I have a new video. It seems the more I play with ways to get paint onto fabric the more ideas I get, and for me ideas lead… Continue reading Always Ideas
Brown Paper Bonus
A little glitch has caused my Printed, Painted Background Fabric video, that I mentioned in my previous post, to be delayed. In the video I will demonstrate how I achieved these fabrics and papers. Here are a few ways I’m using the backgrounds. I call them backgrounds but they aren’t only that. This final piece… Continue reading Brown Paper Bonus
Falling into October
For the past few days the temperatures here have been around 90°F, we don’t have AC but my studio stays cool. Today looks to be finally cooling off a bit. The coming of fall had me working on another Stir Crazy Member Challenge for Visions Art Museum, which will be published for members the first… Continue reading Falling into October
