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 Photo Fun

    One thing about sitting around a fire there's lots of time for app exploration. Here's another one that I think will make some killer thermofaxes. Or maybe just fun for playing around. It's an iPhone app, but I'm using it on the iPad with imported photos. The palm tree, a reaction to days of snow?

    It's called News Flash (corrected title!) by the way, but what it does is a dot screen, like an old time half tone. Or you can translate to lines or waves. I like the dots best. Look under MORE for other controls.
    I can't put in the app store link as I am working on my iPad, but with the right name it should show up in the app store. I am using the iPhone version on my iPad.
