And now for something completely different! Another piece from my apprenticeship. This is Italian and trapunto quilting. The trapunto part is the main body of the monkey, you stitch a shape on two layers of fabric then slash the back of it and stuff it from behind. The Italian part is a thick wool cord pushed into a stitched channel. . . . #italianquilting #trapunto #trapuntoquilting #aztecdesign #monkeyembroidery #runningstitch #embroiderydesigns #EmbroideryTutor #embroiderytutorial #stitchedartisart #EmbroideryArtist #stitchbook #crafttutor #stitchersgonnastitch #bordadoamano #ricamoamano #quiltart #kurdelenakisi #learnembroidery #wemakecoolstuff #wemakecollective #modernembroiderymovement #margdier #hoopartembroidery #stitchedmodern https://www.instagram.com/p/CPaT2ThLvBX/?utm_medium=tumblr

#ad These beautiful drink coasters add the most beautiful touch to any table in your house. I have a beautiful end table that I placed them on and I just love them. Each coaster has a beautiful craved design on it. After the passing of Troy's mother, who made quilts, Troy started to make quilting patterns into beautiful art work that can be placed on walls, tables, ect. Troy's mother told him that he should do this. https://www.builtquilt.com/ has many beautiful designs that are sure to add a nice touch to any room in the house!

COLLAGE ON VIEW

All Things Being Equal

Hank Willis Thomas at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas, USA through 13 July 2020. The exhibition is the first comprehensive mid-career survey of the conceptual artist’s career, spanning 20 years of his work. Combining familiar sports and advertising images with histories of art and politics, Thomas examines popular culture and how art can raise awareness in the ongoing struggle for social justice and civil rights. His artistic practice centers on analyzing and dissecting the images and concepts that comprise American culture, with particular attention to race as a construct, gender, and cultural identity. Through his work, Thomas asks his audience to become active participants in acknowledging, reconsidering, and dismantling old ways of thinking that obstruct opportunity, liberty, and inclusion for all people.

Kolaj Magazine, a full colour, print magazine, exists to show how the world of collage is rich, layered, and thick with complexity. By remixing history and culture, collage artists forge new thinking. To understand collage is to reshape one’s thinking of art history and redefine the canon of visual culture that informs the present.

The final installment in my catch-up posts for botanical printmaking in 2022. This is more Joe Pye weed, cyanotype and solarfast, on a large panel of cotton sateen. I'm very happy with the way the color fades into the edges. I'm looking forward to more printmaking adventures in the New Year!

I learned a lot in #QuiltCon. Sashiko & Modern Quilt can share a lot in common. At the same time, I found some interesting differences as well. PLEASE do not misunderstand here. I am not talking about which is good or bad. Both are good. ☆ In watching many quilts, in reading the stories, I felt the vivid message from the artist. They put the strong message in quilting. Politics, Equality, Sustainability… Each quilt has a “theme”. This is the reason I call quilting the Art, and Sashiko as non-Art. I do not have those messages when I make a Sashiko piece, neither Keiko. We simply enjoy the communication with the fabric so that the (Unused/old/damaged) fabric can be on the stage again. ☆ This helps me to distinguish what I do clearly. When I make a Sashiko piece with a clear message, then I am an Artist. When I Sashiko to make a Boro-To-Be piece, my main concern is how to enjoy this stitching, not how to save the planet. However, when I decided to stitch to advocate environmental protection, then what I do may be an Art. Doesn’t it make sense? I felt so clear after pondering around in the quiltcon for several hours. Regardless, what I do share is the “Sashiko”. ☆ - - - ☆ 配信で話すことにはなると思うのですが、「刺し子を芸術と呼ぶのはどうもね……」と言っていた理由が少しわかった気がしています。キルティングとの比較で感じたことなのですが、キルティングには、とても強いメッセージが込められているんです。政治批判だったり、何かの（例えば女性の権利の）主張だったり。政治批判してる刺し子みたことないし、社会の不条理を変えようとしている刺し子って見たこと無いんですよね。寧ろ、「不条理すら飲み込んだ女性の結晶」が刺し子の原点のような気がしていて。 ☆ とても勉強になりました。どちらが良くて悪いという訳じゃないのですが、同時に、”だからこそ”、刺し子を知ってほしいんです。刺し子を何かのメッセージに使うのは良いけれど、そうではなかった日本人的な考え方も知ってほしいなぁと。まだまだ話すことは沢山ありそうです。主張じゃなくて、願い……なのかな。 ☆ #Sashiko #Upcycle #Quiltcon2020 #SashikoWorkshop #SashikoMastery #SashikoClass #SashikoStitching #Unshin #RunningStitch #JapaneseSashiko #Quilting #QuiltArt #Art #SashikoisnotArt #TraditionalSashiko #ModernSashiko #刺し子 #運針 #刺し子ワークショップ #キルトコン https://www.instagram.com/p/B8-ajg2J-dK/?igshid=122w5jia4qgq

Behold the fruit of semi-secret labors... I made this for an art show and it wasn't accepted, but I'm okay with that because it was a long shot anyways! I learned so much doing this quilt... 🏵️first time I've made an objective design! 🏵️designed the whole thing myself, with some advice from my future mother in law on the borders 🏵️Stitched in the ditch to quilt for the first time 🏵️Used velvet for the first time. . I'm going to post process photos and more of the story on my patreon (link in bio), so if you're interested in that content consider supporting me there! ❤️ . . . #housewarminggift #quiltingaddict #welcomehome #arteveryday #artisticquilt #quiltlife #Homesweethome #quilt #balboapark #femaleartist #californiaartists #customquilting #artforhome #customquilt #dailypainter #quiltlove #sandiegoartist #quiltmaking #quiltart #modernquilt #artforinteriors #quilted #spanishvillage #artistsofinstagram #customquilts #quilts #paintlover #giveart #quilter https://www.instagram.com/p/B8mMkT-n7C2/?igshid=q1b23n11njz3
