Jam the Man!

Hello all!

Once again it seems to be longer between entries, but alas! I haven't got around to taking any more photos of the few fibre type things I have been working on. Plus I don't want to give away too much about the missedmas presents I am working on for my bestest in the westest. :) regular posting should resume after I return from my vacation in Kamloops. I should have plenty of photos of the crafty stuff we get up to while I am there.

I have also been busy prepping my CV and Workshop proposal for the Boreal Mixed Media Arts Jam this coming Labour Day weekend. I hope to put on an introduction to tapestry workshop.
This is a shot from the jam last year...albeit not a very good one. This just gets the campsite. There were actually a great many people out there learning all sorts of stuff from soapstone carving to songwriting and acrylic painting...

Check out borealjam.wordpress.com, for anyone who is curious.

Ciao for now!

teaching tapestry in a camp setting? That sounds pretty awesome and mildly surreal to me.

Yes. I am still trying to iron out some things. It will be basically a crash course. I need to figure out how to keep the warping and twining time to a minimum, and have frames that work but are very simple to make. If I can't figure these things out int he next week i guess it will be a felting workshop.

Well, felting is nifty too!
