5 days ago by craftsanity Let’s begin. My pottery class ended early, so I’m going to test out the samplers I printed for Wednesday’s class at Grand Rapids Community College while I wait for my daughter’s drawing class to wrap up. I still can’t believe how much I LOVE stitching my prints. So fun!!! #craftsanitysamplers #stitch #stitching #embroidery #fiberart #handprinted #craftsanity #frenchknots #printmaker #stitchedprints #slowstitches #embroiderysampler #moreofthisplease
3 days ago by craftsanity I forgot to take photos of the students, faculty and staff who participated in today’s workshop, but I did snap this quick shot of part of the table before we got started. The first hand carved and printed CraftSanity Embroidery Sampler was a hit. Yay! I will definitely be printing more of these. : ) #craftsanitysamplers #stitch #stitching #embroidery #fiberart #handprinted #craftsanity #frenchknots #printmaker #stitchedprints #slowstitches #embroiderysampler
2 days ago by craftsanity After a disappointing series of events, I decided to make one quick stop after work and it really helped to shift my mood. I picked up this very wonky bowl fresh out of the kiln. It’s the color I was going for and I like the texture and free-form rebellion of it. I’ve yet to master how to throw a proper pot, but there’s still time for that. For now, I am embracing the wonky. : ) #pottery #instapottery #ceramics #texture #rookiepotter #wonky #wonkypots #stilllearning #turquoise #craftsanity #trysomethingnew
23 hours 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!

9 hours 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
