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.

    Art Cloth Inspiration and Techie Photo Apps

    DateMonday, October 17, 2011 at 10:02AM

    I've been traveling and meeting with Art Cloth Network members in St. Petersburg, Florida. Linda Dawson did a great job organizing the meeting venues and Susan Ettl, our outgoing chairwoman, kept us on track. As usual the best part of the meeting was the show and tell galleries. We all went home inspired to tackily some large pieces of fabric, and hope I keep the inspiration in mind!

    Some of the time was spent on tech talk and updating a commitment to post on the Art Cloth Network blog ( (http://artclothnetwork.blogspot.com/2011/10/art-cloth-inspiration.html) so I did, with a series of sunset photos that includes the one above.)

    That one was taken with a great little iphone app that stitches together panorama photos almost instantly, it's called Photosynth and its free! Here are some other photo apps I've found helpful for design work, inspiration collections and simple manipulations that find their way into thermofax screens and stamps and stencils.
