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!
