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.

    Rainbow Printing for Free Download

    I'm off to the CREATE mixed media retreat at Chicago/O'Hare and the good news is, I found the pdf for my rainbow printing handout that's been lost in inner space here on the Susie Monday macintosh! I'm sending it upstairs to the cloud for access, so if you've been wanting this handout (it's not  as complete and as multimedia as the info I'll be sharing in the course, of course, but it will get you started I think!)

    In order to download the three page document (the last page is just a schedule of how the workshop is structured) please to go to my public document folder at me.com

    I have been advised that some browsers don't like the me site, use Firefox or Safari if you can! Otherwise, email me through the contact form and I will send an email copy to you. (I have tried a new non-compressed document, so this may work for you!)

    If you can't make the link above work, try pasting this direct url into your browser:

    I would love to take a look at this, but unfortunately, my PC can't interpret what kind of file it is after it's unzipped. You have to actually explicitly put the file ending on it, if you want PC users to have access. We can't see the 'extra' file that Macs use to keep track of everything.

    Sorry Mary. I will try to put it up in another format -- its a large file so I was trying not to have it be such a big file to download. I will send you the pdf by direct email if you email me on the comment form. Thanks, S
