Thank you to everyone who e-mailed me to inquire whether or not I was okay. I'm fine, just absurdly busy. I'm currently in rehearsal for a great play, but it's taking up a ton of time. I'm on a different rehearsal schedule than normal and it's kicking my behind. The only creative thing I did last week was this little piece for Project Fifty-Two:
It pretty much sums it all up.
How about some good news now?
1. The American Craft Council has chosen one of my quilts to be featured on their website, along with a few others from the Empire Quilters Guild show! I'm amazed and thrilled and honored.
This is from their website:
The
Council is today the leading voice for the crafts in America, celebrating
the remarkable achievement of the many gifted artists working in the media
of clay, fiber, glass, metal, wood and other materials.
The mission of the American Craft
Council is to promote understanding and appreciation of contemporary American
craft.
We value
-
making as fundamental to the human experience
- craft as a means of learning and self-discovery – a way of
unifying body, mind and spirit - makers who work directly with materials, expressing their
individual voice through objects that embody creativity and technical
mastery - craft traditions and the role of makers in passing these on
to future generations - innovation that reveals new possibilities in the relationship
between maker and materials - discourse on the evolving nature of the crafts
2. Tomorrow (April 15, 2009) at 6pm PST, the project kit I designed, "Manhattan in Bloom" will go on sale at Label Tulip! Eeek! I've been working and working and working for days to get the instructions together. I've created a private blog with a combination of photo and video instructions. It will be available to anyone who buys the kit. Here are some sneak peeks…
Lots of awesome techniques!
3. Kim, the owner of Portrait Bug, is very generously throwing my theatre company a fundraising crop this Saturday! Here's the official information…

What:
