Fiber artist Stacey Budge-Kamison AKA UrbanGypZ lives and works in Cary NC. She can also be found knitting in public, hammering out her latest e-course at local cafés and spinning yarns in her booth at her favorite arts festivals. A designer at heart, Stacey has decided that her mission is to help fellow knitters, crocheters, weavers and felters embrace their own style and creativity by exploring fiber art as it is a part of their everyday life and helping them embrace the title of artist no matter where they are in their journey. 
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...
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...
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,...

Cool, Stacey!!!
I like it!
Very pretty! I want to try my hand at weaving now!! I hear it’s tough on your hands? I have Rhuematoid arthritis but I still crochet. My rheumatologist says it’s great to keep my hands moving but I’ll tell you it’s tough but soo worth it. I’m a creative person (overly lol) and do lots of crafts so having arthritis in my hands has been like hell on me because I can’t do what I once could but I want to keep them moving! That’s a really beautiful piece you created! Love it
Jess,
I find crocheting harder on my hands than weaving. I do not have RA, but I do have thumb and wrist issues. I find weaving on a Ridged Heddle Loom harder on my arms and shoulders until I get them used to making those movements. My floor loom is hard on my back and that is why I am now using a RHL. Good luck with your weaving.
So pretty! I love when you can take some mistake pieces and make something really unique from them!
It sure didn’t look like a mistake piece when you got it put together as a pouch/purse. I never thought of making that. I have 10,000 scarves……..

LOVE IT!!!!
You are so inspiring!
LOVE!!
I love this bag. I intentionally started weaving to make things just like this. I loved your fringe…wondering what kind of yarn that is and I was thinking it would be cool to leave the fringe on either side of the bag. Wonder if that would work? Thanks for sharing
