4 days ago by craftsanity I’m not sure what’s going to happen next. But even if I decide it’s not the right time to pursue a big goal, it’s incredibly fun to dream about creating an inspiring open space for people to gather, share ideas and make art. In case you’re wondering, these are the tiniest looms in the CraftSanity collection. I introduced them at the Michigan Fiber Festival in August and will be adding a new batch to my shop very soon. #craftsanityheadquarters #dreamoutloud #weaving #comewhatmay #printing #artstudio #openstudio

2 days ago by craftsanity I finally finished carving a block that my daughter Abby and I designed over the summer. This is a progress shot from last night. The design is for a t-shirt promoting my fictional band. I’ll print extra shirts in case any of you want to join. ; ) #craftsanitypress #carve #lino #myfictionaband #printmaking #printmaker

18 hours ago by craftsanity I just made this pokeberry ink from one tiny plant that sprouted up where I dumped out a dye pot last fall. I’m using the leftover color to dye a small wool/silk blend scarf with the rest. After I made the ink, I added vinegar to the remaining dye bath to see if it helps the scarf soak up more of this fugitive color. I’ll leave the scarf submerged in dye in a pickle jar for a couple weeks and see what happens. These experiments are quite enjoyable. What projects are you enjoying right now? #naturaldye #pokeberryink #pokeberrydye #pinkink #naturalcolor
