Amy Arnold {Wisconsin} is an artist whose medium is wool, whose method is sewing, whose madness is Peepwool. ‘The peepwool are an expression of my inner world and my experiences as a mother-among other identities-and reflect my experiences of intimacy, separateness, bewilderment, frustration, wonder, and joy. Yet the peepwool clearly have identities and agendas all their own.’

Tsilli Pine’s recent work, ‘the figures’ is a series about the topography of money in human consciousness, the power of numbers and how much they dictate, both psychologically and actually. ‘These pieces were made with pigment, vintage paper and cotton thread on rice paper. The color palette is intentionally restricted to red and black: the colors of accounting. The work details the extent to which I think about finances, and uses the historically feminine crafts of sewing, collage and rubber stamping to penetrate and explore the traditionally masculine realm of business in our lives.‘

Byebye balloon is a quarry of thoughts. A series of seconds.
Drawings are served up fast, like noodles and fish mezes.

Most of all ByeBye Balloon is dedicated to Ms.Abatzi walking through Heathrow Airport with a red balloon tied to her wrist.
Customs said byebye to the balloon.
Balloons these days create terror alerts.

Kate Talbot’s art practice combines painting, mixed media,
textiles and embroidery to create ‘ironic iconic’ imagery.
This is alternative craft. It is no soft option, but is thought provoking,
witty and enjoyable. {via treats and treasures}

The Modern Letter Project is a collaboration between
Corie Trancho-Robie and Youngna Park reviving the lost art of snail mail correspondence exploring new intersections between letter-writing with art and technology. The MLP launched in March 2007 with 80 participants. Since its inception, the project has attracted over 200 participants from all ends of the globe. New friends are being made, family recipes shared, art projects created out of the idea of cherishing the written letter.
