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...

Check this out. My prototype for a new art weaving header is finished. This is an idea I had festering in my head for a while and I finally put my nose to the grindstone and made her. This is really just a kind of test. I have a series of these ladies to make. Next...
