Merle Rosen Stays Tuned to Her Internal Dialogue

It seems to me that Merle Rosen is doing exactly what she wants to do. For one thing, there is a wide variety in her work. She is breaking that rule about getting really good at one thing. Her acrylic work, alone,  is applied to plywood, paper, yupo, multimedia board, Lanaquarelle, clayboard, and who knows what [...]

Finding That Emotional Connection

In October, I viewed a documentary about an a creature that has held my fascination for years. A Murder of Crows described the common crow as “one of the most intelligent, playful and mischievous species on the planet.” After learning that the crow can fashion tools and recognize faces, I became even more enamored with this [...]

The Artful Life

Somehow, I have become quite relaxed about this new “career” of mine, making art. I have decided it will not be anything like my other careers, where I labored hard and long to acquire the credentials and secure the positions I believed I needed. In all these positions I have had bosses to obey, co-workers to [...]

It seems like only a few hours have passed, but Deb is on her way home to Florida after spending four days with me in Silverspring Studio. We spent happy hours creating computer art, and cutting, stitching, and painting  paper. We celebrated Deb’s gorgeous cracked paper quilts. We shared ideas and dreams, and laughed until [...]

Hey everyone, see my first video!

Here's what I wrote on the Quilting Arts Ning:

I wrote the article Cracked Paper Quilts for Quilting Arts, issue 39. I have just made a video (my first!) which shows how I piece and appliqué the top for a paper quilt.

Hopefully this will be useful to readers of the article.

Carpe diem!

I am an artist . . . . period.

I just did a post for Silverspring Studio featuring artist Jylian Gustlin.

Her work reminded me of something that I keep having to tell myself: I can do more than one thing!

I have this terrible tendency to want to be able to explain my work succinctly--I am a paper quilt artist, I make art quilts, I do mixed media, I paint… Continue

Rhonda Miller has a tutorial for making paper paste on My Handbound Books. Her… Continue

Suggestions Welcome!!

Hi Everyone,
I need ideas, and comments!
I've been adding to this over the last month. I don't know which direction to go next. At this point, I'm at the "scared to ruin it stage". I'm tempted to schmear some paint over the whole thing to kick myself through the anxiety. What do you think? The house portion hasn't been stitched down to the background yet. Does it need a door, a window, a bird perched on the roof? I'm looking to continue with adding details, textures and more interest. But what?… Continue
