Yeiou paper objects

Family reunion / research trip to QuiltCon this weekend! I spent some time today exploring the (huge, amazing) quilt show, and realized I was specifically captivated by the quilts that incorporated text in various ways. This is just a small selection of the amazing things on display at this show, and I am in awe of all of these patient people cutting and stitching and stitching and stitching to make these beautiful pieces of art.

(The photo of each quilt is followed by a photo of the tag with artist info and statement)

My next class at is coming up soon! Join me for three Tuesday evenings in March for "How to see like an artist". This will be a fun interactive and collaborative class exploring what we see when we look at art (in the broadest sense of the word) and why we do or don't like what we see!

I'm not planning to spend a ton of time on color theory, but when I discovered the 3D color wheel, I knew I wanted to have one to show in class because, well, we all know I love 3D paper objects, but also I think it's the easiest way to visualize the full spectrum of color!

There are just a few seats left in the class if you'd like to join us. DM me with any questions or if you need the registration link, or you can find it by tapping through to the Arlington Community Education profile and visiting their website.

Some action photos from my last workshop at Albertine Press! We're doing it again this Sunday!

Bash sat on my feet as I read the last two pages of this book of essays that I've been working my way through the last few months, and I'm sharing them here in case they might provide a little encouragement. Hope is a verb, I hear!

Now back to working on commissions, building paper trains, and doing my little part to weave, mend, and wash our "single garment of destiny" ♥️
