Art Textilian: InkAid Again
http://friendsfabricart.blogspot.com/2013/05/inkaid-again.html
Sunday, May 05, 2013. Ink Jet Print Over Hand Made Paper with Embedded Flower Petals. I wanted to experiment with sending papers with somewhat chunky stuff embedded on them through the Ink Jet printer. I had gotten an InkAid Sample Set. A while ago. You can read about what it is in my previous post. Or on the Ink Aid. Website. The sample set came with an adhesive which I used for sticking things to paper from lace to abaca wrap. The one failed experiment was the Spider Web Abaca. Print Over Abaca Paper.

Art Textilian: October 2012
http://friendsfabricart.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 30, 2012. What would you take with you? What would you take if you had time to think about it? Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction. 8221; course. I sort of also figured if I had time I’d grab the Kindle eReader and the three small art quilts that I’ve been stitching on with related supplies. Glacier Bay, AK. Boston Public Garden Tree. Digital Image and Els Van Barle Art Fabric. Maybe our own sanity is something we forget to take care of too often. May I be peaceful and happy.

Art Textilian: March 2013
http://friendsfabricart.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 27, 2013. I had fun the last few times I made it to the studio embellishing a curtain for an odd window in my new office space that looks out into the main room. There are no windows to the outside world in the room so I thought it would be fun to add some color at the window. It has blinds on it, but basic blinds aren't exactly exciting. I decided to use my "formula one" swirly shapes. According to Maxine Farkas,. I also wanted to have fun with some scrap silk that Carter Smith. I figur...

Saturday, March 02, 2013. Patina" - Hardware on the Gould Barn in Topsfield, MA. I figured I'd write a quick blog about the "Wabi Sabi" art exhibit Mom and I just had at the Topsfield library since I haven't written a blog post in ages, but nothing is ever quick. First I had to figure out why blogger was rotating my photos. If you've had this issue and need to fix it, this blog post is helpful: http:/ blogging.nitecruzr.net/2012/02/incorrect-orientation-of-photos.html. Weathered" - Glacier Bay, AK. This ...

Art Textilian: September 2013
http://friendsfabricart.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 29, 2013. I've been playing with designs based on tree branches. After my first attempt at actually painting the branches to look more like branches, I decided I was more interested in the patterns the branches made. A bunch of my latest art quilts focus on photographs with distinctive tree branches in them, too. These are two art quilts with photos of trees in the Boston Public Garden in winter. The finished one on the right will be in the Loading Dock Gallery. The Loading Dock Gallery.

Art Textilian: Closing a Door, Opening a Window

Wednesday, November 20, 2013. Closing a Door, Opening a Window. My mom (Ann) and I have decided to close the shop - Friends Fabric Art. We decided it was time. It was a tough decision.

Giving workshops and hosting events at the Merrimack Street location has also been great fun. Thank you so much to those of you who have visited, taken workshops, and/or purchased supplies!
