Artists

Here’s some more I’ve added to the blogroll:

is very, very small! I was on a flight yesterday, sitting next to a gentleman reading a book. We exchanged hellos, then he read, and I napped and then beaded (picture in a later entry). While we were waiting to deplane, he commented on my beading, and sounded a bit knowledgeable. He said he knew someone who beaded, had a website, sold patterns online. I asked who it was, thinking that I might know the beader, and I do! Our shared beading acquaintance is Pat Savu. Pat is the local coordinator for the Bead Quilt, we’ve exchanged emails, and we’ve met in person once or twice (I think, sorry if I got that wrong, Pat).

My seatmate works with Pat. It was very fun.

My latest additions to my feed reader and to this blogroll….

A half dozen or so people I know participated in this exhibition, put on by the Beadin’ Path in Freeport, Maine.  Everyone started with the same white plastered paper mask, and look at the results!

Okay, I went looking too. I found some on the website for the Mid America Arts Alliance touring shows. Joyce is modeling her necklace in slide 12 of a select few images from her show Kickin’ It.

At the top of the linked page above, you’ll find a link to a 114 page programming guide to this show. Only one image, but there are titles of each of the pieces included in Kickin’ It, including commentary on some.

Kickin’ It was at the Tacoma Museum of Glass. Here is a video of an interview with Joyce.

She’s an inspiring woman, a great teacher, and I’m very glad I got to spend a week with her.
