So......

Now that I have told people on Facebook and twitter about this blog---I know that I have to commit to it. This is kind of daunting, especially since I have a hard time keeping up with social media on a monthly let alone weekly basis.  All I can do now is try to post  regularly and pray that I don't run out of things to say!

Tonight I looked at the first blog posts of some artists I follow regularly.  I was really blown away when I read Joetta Maue's first set of entries. She started her blog back in 2007, and you can really see her growth as a writer and an artist on her blog.  She is one of my favorite embroidery artists.  In fact, her portrait series is a major source of inspiration for my current work.  It was really reassuring to see the way she started her blog, and it made me feel more confident about moving forward. 

If you are interested in looking at Joetta's blog or artwork you can find out more here and here.

All of the work shown on this post was made by Joetta Maue.

ps: can you already tell that I love run on sentences, and that I have awful grammar? Its true.

Starting Line

Hello,
My name is Mary and I am a fiber artist.  I have set up this blog to share my own embroidery and to spread the word about the many artists I am currently obsessed with.  I recently graduated with my BA in studio art and thousands of dollars in student loans. Like most people I am constantly terrified and excited about the future.  I hope that someone out in cyberspace is inspired by this blog.
