I don’t do a lot of websurfing these days, but here’s a few links to entertain you. And because I’m lazy, I always welcome handy links to other awesome artists (or just plain awesomeness) in the comment section. 🙂

I hope you all have a great weekend – right now I need to get up or be faced with 2 hours of chair duty with Arthur. Either that or feed him, which is not going to happen. So I think I’ll grab one of my pills and go look at those windows I was ranting about the other day. Maybe even finish them?

Textile art using found objects – Amy Meissner

Very interesting basketry – Deborah Muhl

Cutest felt animals ever – Katerina Kozubenko

The downside of fast fashion

Whimsical dolls (figurines?)

ETA: I have admin approval on comments with links, so please be patient if you post one and it doesn’t appear instantly as usual.

I’ve been floundering all week, too physically exhausted to do anything with my ideas and plans, not just painting the last bit of ceiling in my loft, but even knitting, doodling or weaving. But I guess it’s ok, once I’m done up there my muscles can recover and my mind will also have freed a few extra gears for new projects. It’s a good thing I didn’t know how long I’d be away from everything or I wouldn’t have started! In other words, I didn’t make very good of my threat to get messy yet.

Studio project 7

PiaChit Chat

A little bit of progress since my last images 2 months ago. I was hoping to have made the first storage shelf this weekend, which is why I’d painted one end, but since it turns out that I’m not strong enough to paint a whole room in one session or even a quarter of it, I’m just going to keep doing every bit as the drywall goes up. And then I can get rid of the boardwalk, making it possible to paint the rest of the slanted ceiling without bending my neck out of proportion. Yes, I’m all about thinking in steps at the moment, what’s next, and next…
