The art I make is the result of a life-long love of pattern, texture and color. How I teach is a skill honed by experience (I started teaching creative arts to younger kids when I was 12). After earning a B.A. in Studio Arts from Trinity University, I helped lead an internationally recognized educational foundation, designed curriculum exhibits for schools and other institutions, wrote and edited for a major daily newspaper, opened the San Antonio Children's Museum and then, a dozen years ago, took the scary but essential (for me) leap to become a fulltime artist and art teacher.

About This Blog

This weblog is about the maker's life. The teacher's path. The stitching and dyeing and printing of the craft of art cloth and art quilt. The stumbling around and the soaring, the way the words and the pictures come together. Poetry on the page and in the piecing of bright scraps together. The inner work and the outer journeys to and from. Practicalities and flights of fancy and fearful grandeur, trivial pursuits and tactile amusements. Expect new postings two or three times a week, unless you hear otherwise.

    More Moo

    DateTuesday, October 17, 2006 at 05:39PM

    Moo cards came a few days ago and they are just as delicious as I hoped.

    How shall I count the ways?

    Moo cards instead of business cards: lots of choices, thicker paper, distinctive but not distracting shape, still fits in the wallet

    Moo cards for hang tags: what could be easier to punch and string to the edge of a scarf or a table cloth?

    Moo cards to put out at exhibits and openings: small, easy, relatively inexpensive

    Moo cards to tuck inside thank you notes and correspondence

    Moo cards to hang on my Christmas Tree

    Upload another set, put a Christmas greeting on the back and send as the world's smallest greeting cards. OK, I know I have to put them in a bigger envelope for the USPostal Service, still it's a tiny surprise inside.

    Make a family photo set of images to send to all the sibs -- I could get two fun gift sets out of each package of 100

    Make a miniature tarot moo card set, with my own designs

    Invitations (gallery show, sale, studio open house, party with the right 5-line invitation) Slip them inside mailable sized glassine envelopes with a sticky address label on the outside. Different, more noticeable than the standard postcard.

    I am sure glad you got yours! I was beginning to get worried as I ordered some around the first of the month and have not gotten them yet. Hopefully soon - I can't wait to see them.

    These are so cool. I must sit down and get organized to order some for myself. I wanna play too!

    I love those little cards! I wish I had work on Flickr, I would order some of those. Neat!

    Hey, just found your blog, it's great and I'll add it to my blogroll when I get back to my other computer. I don't really get the moo cards, but from the photos they remind me of some art cards I was printing and sticking to the front of magnets to make magnet art. You could stick these on magnets (they sell them in stacks at the office store the size of biz. cards with the adhesive already on - just peel and stick). Maybe I'll try and play around with that when I get some free time after my current deadlines.
