Crochet Pattern: Papa’s Hobo Hands | Self-Guided Art Therapy

https://meetmeinthedayroom.wordpress.com/2008/11/30/crochet-pattern-papas-hobo-hands

Meet me in the Day Room. Crochet Pattern: Papa’s Hobo Hands. November 30, 2008. I decided that my grandfather needed a pair of fingerless mitts for Christmas. His hands don’t fight off the Montana cold as well as they used to. He putters around in the garage a lot and needed yarn that wouldn’t show sawdust and dirt. This is what I came up with–another way to justify my many sock yarn purchases. All terms in this pattern are American. UK crocheters will work in double crochet. One skein Araucania Ranco.

Meet me in the Day Room. Crochet Pattern: Stethoscope Cozy. June 13, 2010. September 13, 2010. With the original author’s permission, I am posting a crochet version of her knitted stethoscope cozy. You can find her on Ravelry here. Edit: Kim has taken her pattern off the internet due to abuse. People were making and selling them. Not cool. If it isn’t your pattern, you need permission to sell it, even if you made the item. Use washable fingering weight yarn! Anyway, here it is:. Flatten crocheted tube an...

Owl-Eyed Athena | Self-Guided Art Therapy

https://meetmeinthedayroom.wordpress.com/2011/04/24/owl-eyed-athena

Meet me in the Day Room. April 24, 2011. I finished my portrait of Penny Nickels. It took a long time. I had a mostly finished portrait for a while, but I just wasn’t happy with it. I couldn’t get the phrase. Out of my head when I was working on it. Since so much of Penny’s work is about mythology, I thought of her as a warrior/genius with big, creepy, owly eyes. Whatever. It is what it is. Now I need to make peace with my life and art and move on. Posted in Kniterdone's Work. A lot going on. Oh, why are...

Mission Accomplished | Self-Guided Art Therapy

https://meetmeinthedayroom.wordpress.com/2010/05/11/mission-accomplished

Meet me in the Day Room. May 11, 2010. I’m done with Norman. I really like how he turned out. I’ve been worried lately that I’m all technique and no substance. Doing a bunch of portraits doesn’t exactly help. I’m especially proud of how thick and tactile my stitches are. They actually cast little shadows. The reason I don’t use glass in my frames is that I’m inviting people to touch my work. I think the portraits say a lot more as a group than they do alone. Thanks for sharing this experience with me.

Meet me in the Day Room. April 27, 2011. Originally uploaded by Drucilla Pettibone. Here is a piece from the lovely and amazing Drucilla Pettibone for the Gay for Eagles show. I love her.

Interview with Penny Nickels | Self-Guided Art Therapy

https://meetmeinthedayroom.wordpress.com/2010/06/15/interview-with-penny-nickels

Meet me in the Day Room. Interview with Penny Nickels. June 15, 2010. Aluis- Hand embroidery, 9″x12″. I recently interviewed the amazing and talented Ms. Penny Nickles. She kicks more ass with her little finger than most people do with both feet. I think that’s why I like her so much. Her work is conceptual and narrative. She rips it right out of her guts. Enjoy! How did you learn fiber arts? These days I work more in fiber and only occasionally go back to printmaking. What are your artistic influences?

https://meetmeinthedayroom.wordpress.com/2013/11/08/how-can-i-explain

Meet me in the Day Room. How can I explain? November 8, 2013. I’ve been busy. We got hit by that awful tornado on May 20 in Moore, OK. This is my daughter’s classroom. Her desk is under that truck. She was in that school when it got hit and she was pulled from the debris. I didn’t know that I would grow up to have a license and patients. A lot has changed →. 4 thoughts on “ How can I explain?
