What 100 Things would You choose for 2022?

I've taken one of Austin Kleon's great project ideas (100 Things) and adapted it to a zine format. It took 3 zines to have enough room for my 100 Things.

Doing this project can be a bit more difficult than you might imagine, especially when doing the first one.  For mine, my list includes favorite things from 2022 I want to remember (events, shows, books, materials, gifts, etc.), things I'm grateful for (health, new glasses, etc.), quotes I love, foods I've enjoyed, etc.

This seems like a great way to do an end-of-year wrap-up (different than an end-of-year assessments of progress on goals).

How do you wrap-up your year before the New Year?

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.

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'...

Life Book 15 - Week 36 Project Completed (or nearly completed)

This project went in an entirely different direction than the Life Book 2015 lesson. That's ok because we're also working on accepting those times when we move in our own direction using the lesson purely as a launching point. This piece involved experimenting with collage on a substrate (muslin covered with joint compound), followed with paint, more collage, and then the felt, fabric and beaded plant. This piece was created through a class offered by Tamara Laporte from Willing Arts Ltd. For more information, visit this link: www.willowing.org .
