Good Morning from Las Vegas!

August 18, 2008

I have had a great few days out here at The New Media Expo, as well as visiting with my son. You have to check out The Liberace Museum. That’s a man who knew the power of glitter!

Talking with Sue Bleiweiss!

August 11, 2008

Today I talk with Sue Bleiweiss!

Sue is a paper and fiber goddess. Besides making art, writing her blog, teaching online, Sue is the editor of Fibre & Stitch.
Here is a quote from Ms. Bleiweiss:

“The questions “what if” or “how can I” are the ones that motivate me the most in the studio. It’s the exploration of finding and discovering new ways to manipulate and embellish paper and fabric that drive me into the studio and inspire me every day.” S. Bleiweiss

I also feature a great book on re-utilizing old sweaters into great new items, plus introduce the new Master Class, Transfer That!

Inspiration at the market

August 7, 2008

I went off to the farmers market this morning looking for inspiration and homemade pastry.

I found both.
I took this photo of a sunflower. I used my macro lens and got really close in on the center. I love the color palette, the way the colors blend into each other, the pointy texture and how the water droplets look like embedded diamonds.

This pix is going in the inspiration tray.
