  • Great podcast! It got me thinking about all sorts of stuff…I remember writing a paper in college about how Museums, Orchestras, dancers as well as the theatre are facing the dilemma Eileen spoke of. Art needs to be easily accessible to youth, as well as lower income families for a better quality of life, among other things. Often times the arts are considered unnecessary, too highbrow or only for the upper classes. Art organizations that offer youth programs but just sit back waiting for folks to come to them are missing the boat. They need to take the art to the people.
    Okay, I guess you really got me going. Just shows how good a podcast it was. Now I’m going to find out if my town’s art museum has some sort of council. Thanks….

  • Really enjoyed this podcast. Lots of food for thought. I saw a Van Gough show at the Clark Museum last year. All of the works on loan from one European museum had reframed the works into very simple frames. They stood out as very different from all of the other works. I thought it was distracting and felt we were missing how they were originally presented.
    When you talked about the works designed by Ai Weiwei begins manufactured by others, how is the credit divided between the craftsperson bringing the work to life through his/her skills and Weiwei as the creator of the design concept? What happens when a chef conceptualizes a dish and the chef who actually cooks it?Lastly if an artist sells a work of art to a museum , does the artist retain the rights to reproduce the work so it can be seen by others? Thanks for making me think and question how things work in the art world.

  • My first podcast…I have to go back through the previous ones! So thought-provoking…I sometimes make a point of going to an exhibit that is outside my typical tastes because I always walk away with some type of appreciation of the process or the intent. (It also brought back memories of MassMOCA when I used to live in Williamstown, MA!)

  • It would be good to post about your failure and show it and explain why you think it is not working. Maybe a discussion could take place on how to change it, where it needs change, how to use other techniques etc to progress.

    Hi Julie and Mom,
    I just now got to listen to this wonderful podcast. Love it all. Congrats on being part of the MFA Steering Committee. That sounds perfect for you.
    I found the whole pod cast very fun and interesting thank you for having your pod casts I love to listen to you both.
    Speaking of listening thank you so much for recognizing me on your pod cast. I was so surprised to hear my screen name mentioned with the Brother Scanncut. I do love it when you post up tutorials about it. I also do love all that you do. I read your daily email every day. Oh and yes I too loved the pictures of the Lego Museum in Florida. Andy Warhol I got to see his exhibit in Virginia several years ago now.
    He did the Campbell soup containers. As a matter of fact your face on the onesi reminds me of his exhibit with the four sections of the one face shown in different color and shades. I think it was done of Marilyn Monroe. I was never a big fan of Andy or Picasso. I am more Mona,
    I like more of the classical style of portrait and landscape. With that said I am now so in love with the Aborigine paintings you showed from Australia. I love the little dots something so very simple to create.
    I just wanted you to know that I did watch HSN. However I did not get to see all three showings. I only got to see the 6pm showing. I was totally bummed to have missed them. I did give a look for the video on HSN of the 7am showing but I found only the hostess doing the presentation and she kept saying that the snc would be there at 7am. Anyway Congrats on your sell out again. Woohoo.
    I too do not display or show really anyone the things I create. Sometimes I think I am wasting my time. Then like you I realize I have just had a learning process of what not to do. Everything in the crafting world for me in now a learning or relearning experience. I really have no other crafting folk around me.
    I did not know what was new that was with the scanncut unless it was the instructional cd. I loved your show and you looked awesome as always. Your presentation was fab and so enthusiastic and infectious. I loved all the presentation items too.
    I have been working with felt as I mention in the past. This time I used the scanncut iron on glitter to iron some designs to the design that I was working with. The glitter is absolutely stunning once it is ironed on it is so sparkly. The only problem that I found is that I could not really tell where my cuts were. I had to feel around the sheet for them and then look at my screen on my scanncut to see where my placement was. I found them and got them off with minimal delay.
    With that said I think the next time I will draw them out on the glitter sheet and then cut and then remove them. Hope that will work out.
    I just wanted to mention here about the felt and my experience with the left over fuzz and my High tack fabric sheet. I think I am going to iron the felt before I cut it out on the sheet and mat. I noticed that the felt tightens up and shines out a bit. I rather like that effect. I am hoping that by doing that it will not leave so much fuzz residue behind and I will be able to clean off the high tack fabric sheet and really be able to use more then once or twice.
    Well you go Girl you are as awesome and wonderful as always. I really enjoy these pod casts and love hearing both of you chat about what is going on in your lives. Happy belated 4th. Hope you have great success teaching your next class in Ma.

I do love it when you post up tutorials about it. I also do love all that you do. I read your daily email every day. Oh and yes I too loved the pictures of the Lego Museum in Florida. Andy Warhol I got to see his exhibit in Virginia several years ago now.
    He did the Campbell soup containers. As a matter of fact your face on the onesi reminds me of his exhibit with the four sections of the one face shown in different color and shades. I think it was done of Marilyn Monroe. I was never a big fan of Andy or Picasso. I am more Mona,
    I like more of the classical style of portrait and landscape. With that said I am now so in love with the Aborigine paintings you showed from Australia. I love the little dots something so very simple to create.
    I just wanted you to know that I did watch HSN. However I did not get to see all three showings. I only got to see the 6pm showing. I was totally bummed to have missed them. I did give a look for the video on HSN of the 7am showing but I found only the hostess doing the presentation and she kept saying that the snc would be there at 7am. Anyway Congrats on your sell out again. Woohoo.
    I too do not display or show really anyone the things I create. Sometimes I think I am wasting my time. Then like you I realize I have just had a learning process of what not to do. Everything in the crafting world for me in now a learning or relearning experience. I really have no other crafting folk around me.
    I did not know what was new that was with the scanncut unless it was the instructional cd. I loved your show and you looked awesome as always. Your presentation was fab and so enthusiastic and infectious. I loved all the presentation items too.
    I have been working with felt as I mention in the past. This time I used the scanncut iron on glitter to iron some designs to the design that I was working with. The glitter is absolutely stunning once it is ironed on it is so sparkly. The only problem that I found is that I could not really tell where my cuts were. I had to feel around the sheet for them and then look at my screen on my scanncut to see where my placement was. I found them and got them off with minimal delay.
    With that said I think the next time I will draw them out on the glitter sheet and then cut and then remove them. Hope that will work out.
    I just wanted to mention here about the felt and my experience with the left over fuzz and my High tack fabric sheet. I think I am going to iron the felt before I cut it out on the sheet and mat. I noticed that the felt tightens up and shines out a bit. I rather like that effect. I am hoping that by doing that it will not leave so much fuzz residue behind and I will be able to clean off the high tack fabric sheet and really be able to use more then once or twice.
    Well you go Girl you are as awesome and wonderful as always. I really enjoy these pod casts and love hearing both of you chat about what is going on in your lives. Happy belated 4th. Hope you have great success teaching your next class in Ma.
