Big Stuff in the Works

When we moved to Texas and set aside a whole room in our home for my studio, I really wanted to make the most of the opportunity to take my art to the next level. I love the idea of leading small workshops in my studio, maybe publishing a 'zine and -- of course -- making more art.

I'm so thrilled to say that it is beginning to come together. I'm also terrified to say that it is beginning to come together. (Sometimes, I run out of the studio with screams of "Now what????" and "Am I sure???" tossing about in my head. Other times I think, "This is superfantastic!")

Holly Knott is designing a webpage for me and it's looking great. I'm also preparing a couple of workshops and "How To" books. I am most excited about my concept for uniquely designed, self published booklets with easy step-by-step instructions, lots of hand made elements, tons of personality and an attitude of celebrating the creative spirit. For those who can't come to a workshop in my studio, the "How To" books will be a great creative jump start.

The first workshop and book will be titled "Fiber Cards: Designing a Series." I've made tons of postcards over the past year and I believe the thing I have developed that is unique to my personal style is the small series of cards incorporating a common element. You remember my birds? Houses? Pastel leaves?

I made two series that will be workshops samples and will be on the cover of the How To book. Here is one series.












Behold the green and the purple!
