First Post

I have decided to try my hand at this blogging thing as a way to have an art diary. I will try to post something I am working on at least once a week, and I welcome any constructive criticism.

Currently, I am trying to get ready for my first show of the year. I decided to branch out a bit and try for the Kalamazoo Art Fair the first weekend of June. I used to do this show and it is a nice one day show in a park. Since there is always that part of me that is sure I won't get in there was no big push to get stock done, but now there is. I have 50 yards of cream warp on the loom and am working on shawl coats and shrugs. So far I have woven 10 shawl coats and 5 shrugs. But of course, that is only the half of it. I still have to stabilize sew them, wash and dry, stitch them into form. So, there is still much work ahead. I hope to be able to stop once in a while and do some postcards. I figure if I can accomplish one or two a week I will have several to donate to FFAC.
