I  set up my stool in the corner of my studio this weekend for the Off-The-Beaten-Path Studio Tour. I could greet visitors as they came through the door and engage in conversations. So, this was my view for much of this weekend:

In the foreground, on my big worktable, is a small bin of printed fabrics and papers I showed visitors to explain how I create.

Beyond that are displays of completed artwork.

 And around it all were great hours of:

questions about process

questions about what the art means

questions about how long things take

questions about supplies

as well as shared insights: I like the way the colors go together in this one. This one reminds me of my home growing up. I like the way textile art has interesting surface texture. Aren’t birds fascinating?

I am grateful for the many visitors who took time to show interest in artwork and I am grateful for the ones who became patrons by taking home a piece of artwork with them.

Now I think I’ll take down my directional signs, then put my feet up for a bit.

See you next week.

For all the artmakers: Happy creating
For all the art lovers: Happy appreciating

Thank you for reading. I always enjoy questions and comments.
