Write something it says....
As I sit here waiting for my one of my favorite shows to start (CBS Sunday Morning) and thinking about the last week of launching this new adventure, I contemplate what my story really is and how much to bore you with.
The shortened version: I love art. That’s it really. My life is in the creating. I work as an art educator, dance instructor, middle school play director and all of those avenues allow me to bring many different types of art together.
My husband and I live in St. Joseph, Missouri, which is a town a bit north of Kansas City. It is a town with huge potential. The downtown is just starting to be revitalized. It has the atmosphere of cultural growth. Which is good because I have big ideas. Huge ideas: Visions of starting a visual arts center or gathering other like minded individuals to show their work, work together, possibly teach together. But first things first. I have to put one foot in front of the other.
Sewing: How did I get to sewing. It seems like such an old-fashioned art. But I’m kind of an old soul. I have a passion for textiles. When I was in high school, I took the basic sewing class and was hooked. I loved working with fashion first. I apprenticed at a seamstress/alteration shop in my hometown. That experience led to a Fibers major at Truman State University. Recently after making a t-shirt quilt for my husband during a snow day, he suggested doing this for others.
So here I am. Wanting to make something with your memories. Send me your shirts and I’ll re-purpose it into art.
Let’s make some art together.
