So, to open the show (lol); over at Beautiful Decay, they've linked to a tumblr called "Carter Family Portraits" in which Beyonce, Jay and their family are photoshopped into iconic works of art. But is it "art"? I don't have the answer to that, but they're enjoyable! :)  Find them HERE
 
 
"Form, not Function: Quilt Art at the Carnegie" opens at the Carnegie tonight - through July 12, 2014 check that out HERE
 
and also in New York, Michael Cummings' exhibit of African-diaspora-inspired quilts opened this week at the Art Quilt Gallery, HERE
 
The DePaul Art Museum is hosting a quilt exhibition called "From Heart to Hand" now through June 22.  You can read a review of it HERE

Museo has a show called “I Can’t Believe It’s  Fiber”, which opened last weekend and continues until June 1, 2014 at their gallery in Langley, Washington. You can see a link to that HERE

Here's a fun thing! It's only a few minutes long, but it's a short video of Picasso working real-time. I once saw a painter do a time-lapse painting and that was really fun too - but hey, it's Picasso!  Even if you're not a fan - it's Picasso! lol You can check that out HERE. 

If you're a member of QuiltArt, then you saw me post about this already, but the reason I had the link so handy is because I was saving it for YOU ('cuz I like you best) *heh*; so did you know that PBS does a show called "Craft in America"?
 
They do! I just found out about last week and have devoured all the episodes they have available online - but my favourite one is called "Threads".  It features Faith Ringgold and Terese Agnew (and others), and was just incredible to me. Ms. Agnew's work was a revelation! So, you can watch that video HERE
 

 
And last but not least, Annabel Rainbow and Linda Kemshall have begun an online fiber arts magazine called Through Our Hands  which is free (!)  and which you can read HERE

A wordless Thursday (just to be different).

So, I forgot to post last night. And now I'm at work and don't have access to the photos I wanted to post. So we're going to do the Wednesday post on Thursday, okay?  Why not - I did the Monday post on Tuesday. *big grin* Maybe next week I'll get it right!

And in other news, I just got my first rejection.

WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!


So yeah, I know it's part of an artist's life and I've been more lucky than I can say that thus far, everything I've applied for, I've been accepted in.  But it's harder than I expected.

Oh,  Musée Laurier, why didn't you like my little birds? They are BEAUTIFUL.  I don't care that you got over 2,000 applicants (holy cow!) or that you were only able to choose 50. WHY DIDN'T YOU LIKE MY BIRDS?!?!? My PRECIOUS, PRECIOUS BIRDS?!?!?



...



Okay, I'm better now.

See you tomorrow.  :)

First up. Laurent Lavendar's moon photos. I'm pretty sure every one in the Western World has seen Laurent Lavendar's moon photos by now (lol); but there are some new ones!  You can check those out HERE

Also at This Colossal, I saw the COOLEST thing.  A 3-D PEN!!!  So, you can draw sculpture, or whatever else you want! Check out the video HERE and then you can click over to their Kickstarter campaign and fund them if you so choose. I personally think this needs to be in the world! :)
 
Over at Ancora Crafts, Catherine did a post of five tutorials she would like to try. Since I want to try 3 out of the 5 myself, I thought you might like to have a look. HERE
 
And finally, over at Textile Artist, they're interviewing Willy Schut. This was an especially interesting interview to me because the kind of work she does is what I've been thinking about the last couple of months.

I still want to do my narrative work (that children's book is still in my head!); but for my "real" work, I've been dreaming of something that's very much like what Willy Schut does - only with more colour.  Sort of Stephanie Redfern meets Deidre Adams.  (And the only reason I mention Stephanie Redfern is because when I sent my "secret" piece in for the call for entry, the person I submitted to acknowledged receipt and said "It reminds me of Stephanie Redfern" whom I immediately googled as I wasn't familiar with her work. Wonderful stuff! Quite a compliment, although I don't know whether that's a good thing or a bad thing in terms of my submission.)
 
Anyway, after you're one clicking on Ms.'s Redfern and Adams links, check out the interview with Willy Schut HERE 

(Unrelated, I have a cousin named Willy. She was very cool, and I really looked up to her. :D)

Have a great weekend! Finished Skull piece on Monday! :)

So, I hadn’t quite yet decided whether I wanted to stitch the pattern on my skull by hand or by machine.
I did a machine outline in the colours I wanted to use (as you can see above), but once I had done that, my  decision was made. Hand-stitched it was! So...
