Three very important things to tell you today. Let’s get going so we have time to cover everything. Pencils ready?
1. Tonight is the debut of my artist in residence wall at the Hive Gallery! Saturday openings there are always very fun, a big party, with art to boot! Come by and see my naughty snowflakes!!
Just a month now until final submissions are due for Stitch Fetish (due date December 15th), my next curatorial outing at Hive Gallery! The works I’ve seen so far are funny and dirty and so smart!
I hope you’re making something to show me… the devil finds work for idle hands, you know.

Home – a place of safety or danger?
A haven, a place full of shame, where you want to be, a room full of old routines and identities… anywhere you hang your hat? How does the word Home resonate for you?
Home is Where the Needle Marks, at the Pop tART Gallery in Los Angeles, will explore the concept of home and all that the word connotes, highlighting the contrast of contemporary artists using stitch vs. the preconceived notion of “home sweet home.”
We ask artists to submit works that deal with the idea of home. Feel free to interpret this theme widely. All types of stitched work are welcome for submission: knitting, crochet, embroidery, needlepoint, cross-stitch, quilting, appliqué… if it’s stitched, please feel free to submit.
Please note we are looking for contemporary interpretations of theme and medium. Read the rest of this entry »
