You might have noticed that I added some new categories last month. One of them is “my art history<\/a>“. I figured that it would give me a place to show how little has changed over the years!<\/p>\n

When the studio building where I worked burned down in 1999, it took me a while to realize that one of the biggest loses would be my sketchbooks- years of them. I have been thinking about the recurring themes in my artwork. If I post examples of the artwork with those themes, it is a way of remembering what was in those sketchbooks. And as I try to make some kind of order in my studio these days, I keep finding examples.<\/p>\n

I figured this needed to be posted today, since I finished up another tiki yesterday.<\/p>\n

1972, I think. Carved out of a scrap end of a 2 x 4. In an early 70’s definition of feminism, my 2 friends and I signed up to take wood shop in my senior year in High School. We were the groundbreakers- the first girls through the door. This was a little project I did then.

It is 3″ x 3″. I did this the same year as my sampler<\/a>. I have no memory of how I transfered the image onto the fabric, but I see on the back that I wasn’t happy with my first try.<\/p>\n

and some other stuff- Last Saturday, I broke down and got myself a subscription to Embroidery<\/a>. I was so excited when I got an envelope in the mail today- 2 magazines- yippee! And another thing- I am having problems with my comments and email. I am not getting emails when someone comments so I have to go check things out regularly and when I email back, it might look a little odd. It all has to do with over-zealous spam filters or something… arg!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
