inleaf: March 2013

http://inleaf.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html

Friday, March 29, 2013. I finished one of my knitting projects. It is a cardigan. Designed by carrie bostick hoge. The yarn is an undyed organic wool that I bought in Sweden a few summers ago. I have truly enjoyed delving into the wonderful world of knitting again - this is only the second piece I have finished in recent times (you may remember this. And I had forgotten how meditative it is to knit and how easy it is to do it on the go. Where they are posting new lamb photos daily. What a great way t...

inleaf: September 2012

http://inleaf.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html

Tuesday, September 25, 2012. My love story with pecan leaves continues. Clamped and bundled with a variety of fabrics and papers, these graceful leaves never cease to amaze me. This time I will let the pictures tell the story – and as always divulging what's within is the most magical part of the tale. Wednesday, September 12, 2012. So the stress and turbulence of this week have a happy ending. Instead of fretting over my show applications, I am cleaning and organizing the studio while listening to m...

inleaf: November 2012

http://inleaf.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html

Monday, November 26, 2012. This is the season of gratitude. I have so much to be thankful for – life, art, family, work, health, sunshine, and love. All are things that fill my heart daily, never to be taken for granted. And then there are the small reminders of kindness and friendship, such as Jude's. Appreciative email and blog post this afternoon. Thank you! Monday, November 12, 2012. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I am a Swedish textile artist, wife, mother, designer, and gardener living in Virginia&#46...

inleaf: shadow play

http://inleaf.blogspot.com/2013/03/shadow-play.html

Monday, March 4, 2013. Making images using sunshine as a catalyst is just fascinating. True to form I am stumbling along learning as I go, after ordering some inks from Lumi. None of my first attempts were stellar, but I am slowly grasping the idea. I am already thinking about how this could be tweaked and improved to fit in with my esthetics and color preferences. I am not one to go the straight and narrow route. March 4, 2013 at 9:49 PM. I love the print of hardware cloth on cloth, weave on weave.

inleaf: January 2013

http://inleaf.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html

Sunday, January 27, 2013. The sky is the bluest of blue this time of year. No haze or humidity, just limitless blue. I have been working with remnants from last years indigo experiments. The small shibori pieces will be part of a group show at Chroma Projects. Opening next week. 25 Chroma affiliated artists will display affordable, lovable, and mailable art during the month of February. I hope you can come by if you are in the neighborhood. Blue is the color of choice this time around. Highlights the pro...

inleaf: a creative life

http://inleaf.blogspot.com/2013/03/creative-life.html

Friday, March 15, 2013. For almost six months now, I have worked part time as a graphic designer with my friend Laura at Roseberries. The decision to return to design work was in part financial, but also based on a need for order and structure in my life. The experience has been wonderful. It feels good to actually get dressed in the morning, to have colleagues, to bounce ideas, and to get projects done (although still slowly.). And I am accomplishing things! I just finished Margaret's magnolia,. So glad...

Wednesday, May 1, 2013. Where you also will discover a new sale section. With items offered at 20-40% off the original price. In a few more days I will find myself right here, in this little cottage on the edge of Lake Michigan, with two of my greatest friends, Christine. We will spend a long weekend stitching, cooking, dyeing, chatting, and stitching some more. Can't wait. This Friday is the opening of the show "fiber fabric: art • craft • design" at the Craddok-Terry Gallery. May 2, 2013 at 4:37 AM.

inleaf: April 2013

http://inleaf.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html

Thursday, April 11, 2013. I had forgotten how much I love making these moleskine notebook covers. They are perfect for smaller pieces of fabrics, that may not find their way into larger art quilts or collages. This time I used eco prints as well as indigo dyed swatches, sometime adding stitch, sometimes leaving the print as is. The store. Is stocked with these books - with more to come. I am also lining up some exciting events for this summer and fall. I am honored to be part of the group show rooted.

inleaf: October 2012

Thursday, October 25, 2012. Fall is finally here. The leaves are twirling in the air and coating the ground. The mornings are crisp and sweaters are brought out from storage. Personally it feels like pieces of my life are falling into place. I recently started a new job, or more accurately I restarted an old one. I am thrilled to be back with my friend Laura at Roseberries. And delighted to discover that my old skills are still intact. A bit of light dusting should be all that is needed. In Toronto/Oakvi...

inleaf: February 2013

http://inleaf.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html

Tuesday, February 26, 2013. Fantastic furniture by David Stine. I took a little road trip this past weekend to visit the ACC flagship show in Baltimore. Over 600 artists were showing off their work in the enormous convention center in the heart of the city. I can only too well imagine the time commitment, effort, and stress that goes into preparing for an event of this caliber. Everything needs to be just right from the amount of inventory, quality of work, and not least booth display. 100 acts of sewing.
