You're my patch of grass...

More experiments with sculptural embroidery: "you're my patch of grass in an arid field." We've had so much precipitation this winter, it's hard to think of anything in New York being arid, but I think you know what I mean.

Pyramid Scheme

I'm loving experimenting with sculptural embroidery. Here is a new piece, small in scale, about 3" high x 5.5" wide and deep. Cut fabric with embroidery on painted fabric.

Crafting Home exhibition and opening

Dear blog readers and friends,

Last night was awesome. My first ever curated show, Crafting Home, opened at The Brooklyn Cottage, a creative incubator in a gorgeous, Prospect Heights brownstone. There were tons of guests, many of whom made new friends and stayed for longer than people tend to stay at openings. I think the marriage of beautiful work, an accessible space, enthusiastic artists, and a gracious host (thanks, Jenny Douglas) works wonders.

If you happen to be in the NYC area, stop by today, 3/1, 2-6pm or tomorrow, 3/2, 1-4pm and catch this short-lived, gem of a show.

The Brooklyn Cottage is located at 301 Sterling Place in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, near the Grand Army Plaza 2/3 subway stop.
