Links
An annotated list of blogs and websites I actually visit in alpha order:
Natalya Aikens
Natalya’s Russian heritage influences both her design aesthetic and subject matter. She is very generous with sharing close-ups of work-in-progress.
Dijanne Cevaal
Dijanne is an Australian textile artist who clearly shows the genesis of each of her works. I love seeing her sketchbooks and journals.
Jane Davila
Author, business woman, artist. How does she do it all? Jane’s use of nature imagery is my favorite part of her artwork.
Dawn Goldsmith
Subversive Stitches:Women Armed with Needles is a comprehensive and colorful survey of what is happening in the world of fabric and stitch by a freelance writer specializing in this area. Always something new and interesting.
Tricia McKellar
Unusual work, dubbed digital shibori, that incorporates many of the subjects/images in which I am personally interested.
Susie Monday
Susie’s blog is a realistic look at the life of a fiber artist making art cloth and art quilts.
Karen Stiehl Osborn
Karen and I used to paint together once a month and I still enjoy reading what she is up to with her art, garden, and natural dyeing.
Lesley Riley
Equally at home in the quilt and collage world, Lesley has a unique viewpoint and expresses it consistently across her varied work.
Joanie San Chirico
Joanie is a mixed-media textile artist who always has something happening – new work, new curating, new commission.
Lura Schwarz Smith
This is a website, rather than a blog, but go visit anyway. Lura’s use of the female form in her artwork is breathtaking.
Susan Sorrell
Susan’s art is exuberant, playful, and powerful. She teaches online and at a dedicated studio space; she hosts an online creativity site; she is one busy and creative artist.
Frieda Oxenham
Quilts, ATCs, mixed-media – Frieda does it all and shares her award-winning work on her blog.
Jeanne Williamson
I love a blog that features plants, a shopping mall, and a rubber band ball all on the same “page.” Jeanne creates stitched monoprints or mixed media textile art and is known for her fascination with construction fence imagery.
