\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Happy Friday, everyone! What a good week it’s been. I taught ceramics to kindergartners yesterday, and they are the best<\/em>. I love how there’s no inhibition to ask for help, how they are all naturally brilliant artists. I say, “make an animal” or “create a story with just symbols and images” and there is no shortage of inspiration and they dive in with gusto. Not an iota of hesitation. So great. I have much to learn from these five-year-olds.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My\u00a0art show<\/a> is wrapping up next week! I made thank you cards for the folks who purchased my work; I cheated and they are machine-stitched onto cardstock, but I think they’re still in keeping with the general sashiko theme. The fabric got a little wriggly when I sewed onto the paper, but whenever I don’t uphold Martha Stewart-esque standards, I just shrug and tell myself, “it’s charming<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There are five that didn’t sell, but I have grand (secret) plans for these so they are spoken for at this time. I’ve already shown you a few others<\/a> and the one above called wabi-sabi<\/em>, which I am claiming for myself, but I don’t think I’ve shared the other four yet:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Iro Iro (Color Color), 12″ x 12″, Acrylic with embroidery on linen canvas<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Shiro (White), 10″ x 10″, Embroidered linen patchwork embroidered onto canvas<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hachinosu (Beehive), 8″ x 8″, Acrylic with embroidery on linen canvas<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Uchi (House), 8″ x 8″,\u00a0Acrylic with embroidery on linen canvas<\/em><\/p>\n

******************************************************************************<\/p>\n

And a haiku:<\/p>\n

Some tutorials
\nI \u00a0did not get to finish
\nNext week, I promise<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Almost done with the photos, but need to write it all up. I have renewed respect for all you amazing ladies who post tutorials on a regular basis; I feel like I’m creating a stop motion video! Have a lovely, lovely weekend friends – it’s March, which means spring will be upon us so very soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
