4 days ago by craftsanity I had a great time at the natural dye workshop that @adventuretextiles led at @kalamazoofiberanddyestudio today. We experimented with indigo, sumac, goldenrod, marigold, walnut and pokeberry. Many thanks to Megan Williams for teaching a great workshop and Emily Wohlscheid - owner of @bricolagestudios - for hosting. The class was fun and informative, my classmates were friendly and Emily’s tomato soup was amazing. High fives all around! : )
3 days ago by craftsanity I just installed this handmade gift from my crafty parents. It’s a Glenda, the good witch, whirlygig and I love it. They made one for all three of their daughters out of recycled materials. My dad handled the cut out and assembly and my mom did the painting. ❤️ #whirlygig #whirlygigs #glendathegoodwitch #glenda #handmadegifts #myparentsareawesome
3 days ago by craftsanity I have a hunch that this ArtPrize entry is going to do very well. It’s called “Oscillation” by Ryan Swanson, founder of The Urban Conga. Go check it out on the Gillett Bridge. It’s a colorful entry designed to inspire social interaction through play. It’s also very fun to photograph. : ) #artprize #artprize10 #art #colorful #oscillation #funart #installationart #letsplay
2 days ago by craftsanity I just picked up some supplemental reading for my advanced journalism students from the cool folks at Schuler Books in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Bob Woodward’s new book is selling fast and I find that fact very encouraging. Thanks for doing this important work, @realbobwoodward !! #grcc #factsmatter #journalist #journalism #jschool #payattention #feartrumpinthewhitehouse @schulerbooks_chapbookcafe #booksthatmatter #readthis #goodbooks #greatjournalist #shoplocal #grandrapidscommunitycollege @thecollegiate #journalismeducation
