Top Ten Tuesday
Well, it has been a while, what with projects and a few days in San Diego. I have loads to work through on my blog list, so I am thinking there’s at least three posts here!
First up, from the 365 Project, some amazing photography yet again. In honor of beach time in San Diego……
From the ArtBizBlog and Alyson Stanfield comes some organizing ideas. I just happened to see her Evernote mention, and I have just started using that on my iPad, so I want to go into this post more in depth….organizing lately has been off, to say the least!
Studio Art Quilt Association (SAQA) does an auction of artwork every year as a fund raiser. This is the first year I have contributed a piece. One thing members are doing to promote the auction is doing 6-piece “collections” around a theme. I pleased to say my “Hotwired” has made it into two collections.
Here are a few more samples of SAQA collections, put together by Kathy York.
Here’s a quick video from Freida Anderson with some fusing tips, something I am just getting in to:
Jane LaFazio interviews Leslie Riley. I’ve admired both for a long time. Jane is a very successful water color, mixed media, and art quilter, and Leslie Riley is quite the motivator. Enjoy the interview!
Alisa Burke has a fabulous post on tools for sketchbooks and frequently asked questions. Lots of “I wants” in this list…it’s probably a good thing I don’t do a lot of sketching……
Thanks to Rachel of Rayela Art and The Textile and Fiber Art List, here’s a cool look at a new tool called PicMonkey for editing pictures easily. Rachel did some fun playing around with pictures of her own.
Here’s a wonderful sense of humor video from YouTube about European shopping bags. Some very clever designs!
A very “enterprising” story of a 10-year-old who has started her own sewing business. You go, Lizzy!
And finally, a piece of honesty and courage from an Eagle Scout from The Best Article Every Day.
Have a great week! Let me know what you find that’s cool.
