New Video: ‘One Scarf’

14 Comments

We are live! My newest video, called, ‘One Scarf,’ is up and available for viewing.

I’m participating in the American Craft Council’s on-line artist’s directory [click [here] to visit the website.] It is a platform listing over 150 craft artists with information about their work and links to their websites and social media pages.

This October 3 -16, there will be an on-line pop-up marketplace with featured artists who will have work for sale at the site.

We were asked to submit a 30 second video featuring our ‘favorite piece’ that will be for sale. Favorite! Yow! Each one I make is unique and loved. They are all my favorite. So instead, as a way to show that every single piece is created with attention and care, I decided to focus on the process. I chose the making of a scarf.

Beaded Jacket Finished!

14 Comments

Whew! This jacket was completed in the knick of time. I promised ‘the end of summer,’ which technically won’t be until September 22nd, but because I think that Labor Day is the official end of summer, Labor Day was my goal. I was on a mission to finish. And Hooray! I did it!

I usually keep a hand sewing project next to my comfy TV chair and work on it slowly without a concern or thought for time. It takes as long as it takes and I don’t pay attention to the clock or the day or even the month. I had zero idea how long it had taken me the first time to make this jacket, so it was a surprise to realize how many hours I had spent.

It was a while,….

But I’m on the other side now. Done! Such a good feeling.

Next up, a video. I’m going to be participating in the American Craft Council’s online craft show this October, ‘The American Craft Made Pop-Up Market.’ They sent out a request for a 30 second video about one of the pieces that will be available for sale.

They’re fun to make so we’re on it. Scarves do well online, so that’s my subject. All about a scarf in a 30 second video.

Wish us luck!

Happy Happy Happy Labor Day to you and all my wishes for a lovely Fall, when ever you decide that it begins.

Just in time, only a few days before the Smithsonian Craft Show, my new video is finished and ready for its close-up. It’s under ‘videos’ in my website. I’m calling it, ‘At Holocene’ because that’s where we shot all the footage.

Please check it out here.

And check back in the next day or two, because we’ll be adding one more called, ‘Pink.’

No need to clear your schedule to watch them, they are both short, under a minute each.

Next up, the big show! Smithsonian Craft Show, this Thursday evening through the weekend, April 20-24. Can’t wait!

I have two new 30 second videos finished and ready for viewing. So exciting!

The first, a ruana with appliquéd red and white stripes. You’ve seen this in progress. I finished it just in time for the ACC on-line show last week.

It was the same with the video! Finished just in time.

And what a difference between seeing it in still photos and seeing it moving and in action.

For some mysterious reason, I can’t link to YouTube. To see the video, please copy this address and paste it into your browser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfFSz7vL6x8

The second video is of the pieced coat I’d been working on. I’ve been posting the long process while I worked on it. Now, see it in action!

Check it out here.

The pieced coat video is listed on my website in my new section, ‘Video’. We’ll eventually put up the ruana video there too. But for now it is viewable in YouTube. [ahem, ……technology…… ]

We are having so much fun working on these videos! Seeing my clothes in action and motion, what a wonderful addition to the still shots.

I’m looking forward to making more! Stay tuned.
