Yikes! If I miss a week of posts, it is because I am in a groove with something, or just really having fun. Or, both situations – if I’m in a creative or other productive groove, I’m having fun. Last week flew by from canning green tomato relish, and preparing and participating in a local art festival. I was not a vendor at the festival, but I volunteered to demo my stitching and fabric collage techniques. Here are a couple of views of my table of creative collage chaos:
The weather was perfect, and I enjoyed renewing acquaintances with local artists. We all agreed that we need to get together more and promote our skills in the community, and encourage others to learn new things. One of my goals is find ways to stitch more out in public view, and talk to people about what I am doing. There are many ways to accomplish this: make something while waiting for an appointment, get out and sketch while on break, have artist trading cards to give away to anyone who asks about what you are doing. Talk about why art is important to you, and why you like your chosen media. Have fun!
