Profile

Hometown:
Orlando... but I just moved from Seattle after 17 years! Big culture shock but my husband was transferred.
About Me:
I am a textile, felting, paper, acrylic, book artist. I was born on the same day as Matisse. I am sure this is why I have to be surrounded by draping fabrics and intense colors.
I could blither on for a long time about me... but who reads this anyway? I must get into my studio this morning so I will take a break.

Hi Cami.
Thanks for the links you sent me.
The journals were all so beautiful. Thanks for showing me.
I would like to try this with my friends.
In Iceland the summer is short. We have daylight now 24 hours. I love that so much. We have had unusually good weather, Sunshine all june and the now in july.
I live in a place called Selfoss in south Iceland. It's about 45 min. driving from Reykjavik the capital of Iceland.
Have a nice week.

Thanks. I have sometimes dyed my own roving, but really dont have the space to do that. I buy roving from www.outback fibers.com for the pictures. The owner Jill, has a sampler that has a little of each color available. I also pick up roving in my travels. I like your style.

Everything I trip over that's a neat idea or a project possibility gets shucked to blog for you, dear reader, to figure out! I've spied some of your groups like art journaling--what's the best way to join and network with friends here? As a newbie, I'm not sure what all people want to see. Take care!

PS- You need to visit my friend Martha Marshall's An Artist's Journal Blog. Lots of marketing and art tips, great community networking, and links. She lives close by me in Bloomingdale.

Cami, I'm in awe of your work as well! We're a bit over an hour away. Mango, where I live is just East of Tampa Bay. Tell your daughter that there is a vibrant and active Renn movement here in Florida - everything from strictly SCA to fantasy. Tell her to suscribe to my blog, check out some of the costumes on my website and set up her own blog here and we'll exchange links. I'm making you a friend as soon as I figure out where they hid the button. Do you sell on Etsy?
There's a wonderful art community here in the Bay Area. Consider doing Gala Corina (more info on m blog) in the Fall.
Blessings,
Dina
