6 days ago by craftsanity Today felt a bit like Christmas when a fellow artist hooked me up with a pottery wheel to practice on at home. Today, I tried to throw tiny things while standing on a stool in my kitchen and it went ok. However, I plan to sit for my next throwing session and pick up where I left off. Lol! (Thank you @charij !!) #throwingpottery #pottery #instapottery #ceramics throwing #onthewheel #mud #rookiepotter Photo credit: @clayalchemist
5 days ago by craftsanity I just warped the ceramic loom I made in pottery class. Warping my wooden CraftSanity looms is a lot easier, but it will be interesting to see how this turns out. : ) #ceramicweavingloom #weavingloom #loom #weaving #weaver #fiberart #pottery #circularweaving #weavingintheround #craftsanitylooms
5 days ago by craftsanity During my breaks from grading, I’ve been happily stitching more samples of my new CraftSanity Embroidery samplers. The first three will be available for purchase next week, so get ready! : ) #craftsanitysamplers #stitch #stitching #embroidery #fiberart #handprinted #craftsanity #frenchknots #printmaker #embroider #stitchedprints #slowstitches #embroiderysampler #moreofthisplease #travelcraft #ilovethis
4 days ago by craftsanity Here’s another one of the CraftSanity Embroidery samplers that I’m releasing this week. I stitched this on the way to Detroit for the family Easter party. Today was the first time since Christmas that I got to see my parents and sisters. Note to self: Four months is way too long to go without an Ackerman meetup. #craftsanitysamplers #stitch #stitching #embroidery #fiberart #handprinted #craftsanity #frenchknots #printmaker #embroider #stitchedprints #slowstitches #embroiderysampler #moreofthisplease #travelcraft #ilovethis
2 days ago by craftsanity I cannot concentrate on non-art-related things today. I just want to stitch and dream about the next big CraftSanity adventure. While I’m currently struggling a bit to do the things I really need to focus on today, I’m excited about my creative future. : ) Once this sample is stitched, I will be releasing the first three CraftSanity Embroidery samplers. I’m mulling over another potentially huge plan, too. We’ll see how the universe weighs in on that one. #craftsanitysamplers #stitch #stitching #embroidery #fiberart #handprinted #dreambig #craftsanity #procrastination #frenchknots #printmaker #embroider #stitchedprints #slowstitches #embroiderysampler #moreofthisplease
