I love making videos. It involves all the things I loved about graphic design and but with more dimension. I knew taking on YouTube’s vlogmas challenge would be …well…challenging. Vlogmas is where vloggers post daily vlog videos to their channels from Dec1-Christmas day. I am already one week in and I have to say filming, editing and posting has gotten a whole lot smoother. But, not without all kinds of glitches and a call to Tech Support. I consider those battle scars.
Vlogmas is also forcing me to be accountable when it comes to carving out creative time. It is so easy to let the admin side of running a creative business take over. This week, in response to a question I had in the fiber art collective FB group (join us here!) I decided to share how I use my 2.5dpi heddle to make an art yarn warped scarf. I also shared some behind the scenes of from the clay studio and my sketchbook hashing out a new piece.
So, if you are not subscribed to my You tube channel, you can do so here. Other wise here are this weeks Vlogmas videos.

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. 
Thanks for alerting me to this. I found you on YouTube while looking for weavers that did not weave highly complicated kitchen tea towels!! Thank goodness I found you. What size is your loom please. I am about to buy a rigid Heddle loom but don’t know what size to get. I never want to weave tea towels. LOL good luck with all your ventures, you have inspired me.
Yay! Glad I sparked a little inspiration. My baby loom is an 8″ Ashford Sample It. I have a 20″ Kromski Harp, but I don’t use it as much. The smaller loom can be warped and ready to weave in 20 minutes. And it is relatively portable. I could literally put it in a big bag with some yarn and take it to Stitch and Bitch. I think a 15″ Schacth Cricket loom is also a good option.
