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.

    Time Flies

    DateThursday, January 20, 2011 at 10:08AM

     

    Watch this YouTube video by artist Eilrik Solheim and be reminded how quickly the year flies by. Awareness. (I'm tagging my posts this year, when relevant, with one or more of the three As of Awesome, as proposed by Neil Pasricha writer/blogger)

    The back story of how this video was made is here on the artist's page: http://eirikso.com/2010/01/04/one-year-in-90-seconds/

    There are also other videos of similar projects with different time frames, zooms, etc, as well as a version made from still images in 2008. This is an interesting example of taking a project from concept to form over an extended length of time. It takes commitment and a willingness to let the process happen over time. Wouldn't it be great to see the evolution of a piece of your fiber art with such a photographic technique!
