My Art Journal and The Art It Helped Me Make

by Stacey | August 1, 2022 | art journal | 6 Comments

Art Journal can mean so many different things. It can be a scrapbook of memories, it can be a sketchbook of ideas. It can be a place to try new techniques or styles worked privately with no judgement. It can be a diary of feelings and thoughts mingles with drawings or...

Fiberista, I know you know what I mean. It doesn't matter what kind of calm or chaos is happening in your world, the one constant will always be making art. I would say specifically fiber art, but I have a long-held commitment to my art journal as well that tends to...

Falling off my habit wagon

by Stacey | May 24, 2022 | behind the scenes, everyday life | 0 Comments

I am not gonna lie...I have fallen down on the tiny habits thing. I am almost 6 months in, halfway. I knew this would probably happen. I even gave myself a little grace period to skip adding new habits for 8 weeks(broken up as needed) I just know myself. I will let...

Friday Five: random 5 things on my mind lately

by Stacey | May 13, 2022 | everyday life, Friday5 | 0 Comments

Hey Fiberista. I think I need more coffee, but I am pushing forward anyway. I am sitting on my front balcony listening to my neighbor chat on the phone in a different language. It is cool enough for a sweater, but sunny enough to be an irresistible morning. I toyed...

Tiny habits

I swear I thought I was ahead of the game. Last October, I began planning out what I wanted my 2022 year to be. Setting out some goals, thinking of my new year's resolutions. I was using my favorite project planning app, I built in some extended periods of rest and...

Ah… A new year. Another year. I know it has been a hot minute since I have posted. But I always seem to come back to here. Do you realize I have been blogging on and off since 2002? I have my old blog archived somewhere, and at some point I intend to post it as a PDF...

Life After CoVid

everyday life, What I am working on | 11 Comments

I feel naked and, quite frankly, a little uneasy. No lie, this is the first time I have sat at a coffee shop in more than 15 months. No mask, outside, and this place is bustling. Like everyone else on the planet, I have been itching to escape the 4 walls of my home,...

Freeform Weaving Your Day to Day Inspirations

Art weaving, Creative Inspiration, weaving | 0 Comments

Back from our trip to Philadelphia and fresh off the art reception for a show I had a piece in, I am full of some crazy big inspirations. But, alas I had some Christmas gift deadlines to crank on. I love these kinds of live casts. It truly feels like a stitch and...

My Fiber Art Journal

Art Journaling for fiber artists., How to think like an artist | 0 Comments

I have been keeping an art journal since I was 18. Back then I was in art school and it was my sketchbook, a requirement for all of my art classes from day one. I resisted at first, it seemed like such a frivolous task. But, I soon realized that it was key to fleshing...
