“From Studio Journal to Art Quilt”
Shrine of the Planting Moon
Collection of Jane Davila
Fibre&Stitch’s third issue has just been released and includes my article, From Studio Journal to Art Quilt. This article focuses on the way I researched my Moon Shrine series, sketched out ideas and developed a series. Fibre&Stitch is an innovative online zine. Each issue is HUGE; this latest issue has 70 pages of mixed-media projects. Sharon B. of the comprehensive textile blog “in a minute ago” has an annotated summary of this issue here.

You can see I USE the journals - trying out my materials, thinking, doodling, working.
