Great Book for Artists - Emerging and Practicing!

I love this book and recommend it highly!  

Between an online course and the beginning chapters of this book, my art took a dramatic turn into explosive color emanating from a mosaic-type imagery design -- such a departure from what I was doing beforehand. The change was not a difference in quality.  Rather, it has been a shift in voice and expression of joy.

Some of the things I like about this book include:

  • The female artist profiles of women I've not heard of before
  • The exercises
  • The sisters' (who are the co-authors) art works and their differences of approach and experiences
  • The quality of the image production throughout the book 
  • The incorporation of themes of Brene Brown and other art instructors I've studied with
  • The clarify of the authors' instructions when suggesting ways of doing thingsThe book was published in England and is only available from sellers in that country, at least at this time.  
I purchased my hard-bound copy of the book from Blackwell's, and it was quick to arrive and well-packaged.  

Lastly, I'm so glad to have found this gem that is now a welcome addition to my art library!

Fabric Basket - Pretty Easy

This basket was made in Jane Hall's half-day course at IQF 2014.  The greatest amount of time involved in making it--was cutting and sewing the strips together.  Otherwise, it went together easily and quickly (3 hours). These baskets are a great holiday gifting idea that you can match to family and friends' home decoration color schemes.  They're fun and useful besides.

Highjacked Blog Photo

My profile photo was highjacked ! For those of you who are blogging, be wary. There are some unscrupulous folks out there who may be using or about to use a photo(s) you've uploaded to an online photo-hosting site. At the time I created a blog, having a URL for a photo uploaded online was the only way to insert a photo in your profile or to create a custom header. There had been no problems for a long while. This morning, however, I did a Google image search for my name and found my photo linked to a totally different blog than my own! It is possible I didn't mark my file with the online photo-hosting site as private, but I didn't expect this to happen. I don't know whether marking it private would have actually averted the situation, but I'm not waiting to find out. I eliminated my membership to that online photo-hosting service today and caution anyone to be careful with uploading images to the internet . If you read the terms of agreement at many sites, you'...
