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.

I will definitely be printing more of these. : ) #craftsanitysamplers #stitch #stitching #embroidery #fiberart #handprinted #craftsanity #frenchknots #printmaker #stitchedprints #slowstitches #embroiderysampler

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
