I didn't stick with it for too long. I stuck with drawing. But I grew up watching my mom crochet and sew.<br /><br />5 or 6 years ago I bought a few crochet books and learned how to read patterns and make up my own. Today I'm in love with it. My attention has turned more to fiber art.<br /><br /><br />(I'm happy to see the masks again!)La and Drhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06276695079764982930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677127447548579248.post-45995539180408059432010-03-17T20:42:11.351-04:002010-03-17T20:42:11.351-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03208725588791671226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677127447548579248.post-82976897105914539142010-03-16T07:51:04.218-04:002010-03-16T07:51:04.218-04:00as a child i dyed things with my grandmother and s...as a child i dyed things with my grandmother and sewed with her as well. my mother guided me in dressmaking.<br />like Jude i made doll's clothes, my own clothes [some a wild embarrassment] and still make clothes [some considered by my children to be a wild embarrassment]. i also work in costume form time to time.<br />running stitch remains my favourite and i'm still making marks on cloth with plant dyes...india flinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01510066677833871579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677127447548579248.post-10863105717772560722010-03-15T17:20:38.940-04:002010-03-15T17:20:38.940-04:00Well - as a kid I spent hours with colored pencils...Well - as a kid I spent hours with colored pencils drawing machines - lots and lots of bright colors - lots of decoration.<br /><br />Now I make abstract textile art that is very spare.

The things might be doll clothes, a costume for myself, some sort of 'contraption', drawings, paintings, face painting, hair twisting, the list goes on. My family owned a hardware business and the inventory of the store was like a giant treasure trove of art supplies. My art is now focused on fabric but I spent many years making mixed media sculpture which was a definite tie to that store and my childhood.Terry Jarrard-Dimondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06709683518897702916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677127447548579248.post-69192994648984958152010-03-15T08:46:52.238-04:002010-03-15T08:46:52.238-04:00fascination with cloth has always been there for m...fascination with cloth has always been there for me. i used to unravel fabric as a child. to understand it. <br /><br />i made doll clothes and my own clothes. still make my clothes. i made quilts, i still make quilts. <br /><br />but i learned to weave and my focus on fabric became more structural and these elements have combined into investigating the relationship between sewing and weaving and i am starting to make those marks only now. it is still about cloth. about how to express the nature of cloth. i am quite excited.judehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01514075228644109700noreply@blogger.com
