43things TEAM PROJECT: support fellow artists in their artistic projects

For possible future art/craft store. I found two that I liked, so I’ve registered four total (both with and without pluralization). $35 a year is not bad to hold onto the names I really like.

Not much progress on art projects lately though. My boyfriend has been very sick, so I brought my knitting to the hospital and did that instead.

What a fantastic idea for a team. :)

My basic art story:

I’m a fiber artist working mostly in fabric. I dye cotton and silk, cut it up, sew it back together, embroider it, quilt it, and sew weird things onto it. My largest piece to date is approx. 28” square, and my smallest is 5” x 7”.

I’ve recently been teaching myself to knit, so I’ll be adding knitted baubles to some future projects, and as soon as I find some affordable wet studio space, I will be dyeing yarn to use and to sell at a local shop.

Like most artists, I can’t confine myself to one medium, so I also dabble in painting, sculpture, collage, mixed media, found objects, etc., but only for myself – not for sale.

To make a little extra money, I sell hand dyed scarves, neckties, sarongs, etc. and handmade purses and tote bags at local art fairs.
