And, the thing I'm learning with these little ones - painting directly on lutradur? Welllllllll....

The madness that is (shhh!) CHRISTMAS. *ducks*

I know, I'm sorry - it's very early to be talking about Christmas, but the small pieces I made last year and sold before Christmas have been remembered, because I have had three inquiries already "When is your Christmas stock going to be ready?" - the first such inquiry was at the beginning of August! *shudder*

Although I didn't think of those small pieces that way at the time, they are of a size and price point that's perfect for gift-giving; and now that it's nearly October, I suppose I should get on with making them, right?

Sooo...

At This Is Colossal, they're showing Yulia Brodskaya's art made of quilled paper - so interesting! here

Also in paper work, Hari & Deepti have made some eerie and beautiful paper sculptures here

Over at Textile Artist.org, they have an interview with Corinne Young who makes embroidered assemblages. Some *very* interesting work. Check that out here


In today's amusing, unexpected, and NSFW art, artist (and grandmother) Holly Stewart is making installation penises out of quilts, afghans, beads... here


In this week's street art, Os Gemeos (Octavio and Gustavo Pandolfo) have made some amazing painted silos that you'll find at Bored Panda here

HyperAllergic has an article about Ai Weiwei and cats. No really! here


And just to end it all the right way, here's Overhead In The Art World.

See you on Monday with the finished piece!
