Fiber Art Now Magazine

Thursday, January 2, 2013  In 2011, Marcia Young parlayed her passion for fiber into the challenge of filling the vacuum left by the demise of Fiberarts Magazine.  With Interweave Press' decision to stop publishing Fiberarts , a long-standing and excellent publication, we were left with a very sad void . Marcia created a new and exciting product,  Fiber Art Now magazine .  I'd say, clearly she has accomplished her goal: "We connect and inspire the contemporary fiber arts and textiles community by featuring the most compelling work, ideas, and craftsmanship in all of our endeavors." I am honored to have been asked to write an article for the current (Winter 2013)issue. I wrote about my conversation with 5 of the artists, chosen by Marcia, from my book, The Fine Art of Crochet .  It was a great holiday present when the magazine arrived with my  article the day after Christmas! Fiber Art Now magazine The magazine, in general, is filled with rich c...

Guest Blogger: Bonnie Meltzer, Crochet Artist

Saturday, October 12, 2013 I've been a fan of Bonnie Meltzer's mixed media art that features crochet for years; and I chose her work, "Global Warming" for the cover of my new book, The Fine Art of Crochet . Its strength and vibrancy foretells what the viewer will see inside.  I so admire Bonnie's talent, and I can count on her whenever I need support or feedback on articles I am writing about artists. I am very delighted to have her as my guest blogger today! Read her interesting analysis of BIG crochet! BIG, BIGGER, AND BIGGEST CROCHET by Bonnie Meltzer Crocheting is seductive. One easily falls under its spell.  Once into the rhythm it is easy to go on and on, and hard to stop.  So it is no wonder that some crocheted works are big, big, big! But crocheting big is anything but mindless.  The increased scale adds issues and problems that have to be solved. •         What changes in your process or thinking whe...

Books, Book Signings and De-Stashing Yarn

Friday, June 21, 2013 It's been such a busy week; where did the time go? I was surprised and thrilled that my first copy of my book arrived quicker than I was told. It was so good to finally see it in print and it is all I expected and hoped for. Here I am taking it out of the mail box. It's obviously a reenactment just for fun and dramatic effect! Receiving the first printed copy from Author House is apparently the first step for me to begin my media campaign to encourage everyone I know or don't know yet to run out and buy the book. I have now requested my free copies and lucked into a promo, so I got 5 extra ones free plus I ordered a supply to have on hand in preparation for book signings at the Chain Link Crochet Conference/Knit & Crochet Show. www.knitandcrochetshow.com I'll keep you posted as soon as I have the times for book signings locked in. I'm really looking forward to the show in Indianapolis and excited about the 5 classes I will be te...
