ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I'm not the least bit surprised that you were asked to do this -- not only are you a creative artist, but you excel at writing and your tutorials are terrific. A Triple Talent! Thank you for sharing so much of what you do with all of us.

How wonderful! And the series concept is intriguing. I must grab the article and check it out.
ReplyDeleteI have my issue got it about 8 days ago and the article is wonderful-as is the artist and the works!
ReplyDeletecongrats!and Merry Xmas!
How cool! The red-rimmed series is about when I started following you. I will definitely look for the magazine.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a great article - the little pieces nearly seem to jump off the page. I want to put my hands on this magazine.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your article, Hope I can get a copy of this mag in Australia.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for a lovely Christmas.

ReplyDeleteVictoria, I am just catching up after being off for the holidays so better late than never - Congratulations on being published!
ReplyDeleteHope you and your family had a wonderful holiday and best wishes for the new year!
Hi Victoria! I was very impressed by your rimmed in red series and plan to get ahold of the magazine.
ReplyDeleteQuestion: If you wanted to add words to the piece, would you do it via textile paint or threads? Just retired, I am starting again to craft, to sew and have always wanted to do a series of work. Thanks for your time and inspiration.

P.S. Do you know if the magazine is sold here in the States--at B&N perhaps--or do we have to order on-line. Thanks, can't wait to read your article.
ReplyDeleteThanks to each of you!
ReplyDeleteSunny, great question! Personally, if I were to add words, I would most likely do them in stitch. I have added words before to textile pieces using both hand-embroidered stitching, and machine stitching, (both free-motion and pre-programed stitching). I have also added words to fabric pieces using a mixed media approach where I found and cut out words from vintage ephemera, coated the paper with a matt varnish, let dry, then carefully machine stitched the words to the textile piece. I always let the work guide me as to which technique is most suitable.
(As for writing with textile paint, I have never had any happiness with it, but others manage to use it joyfully. I am a firm believer that each of us has to work in ways that feel right to us individually...no exact right or wrong!)
And yes, you can find the magazine in local stores! I have seen it at B&N, as well as Joanne Fabrics, Michael's Craft Store and AC Moore. :)
Thanks much for sharing your vision on adding text to fiber art. I like the idea of adding with ephemera best, I think for me (no fancy sewing machine, not skilled embroiderer!) Heading out today to search for magazine. I do find reading about others' work motivating…sheers!
