Comment by Brigitte Martin on January 4, 2011 at 12:40pm: Thanks Becky. Oh yes, the mud has been coming my way. In a good way, of course :-)

Comment by Becky Keck on January 4, 2011 at 12:22pm: This looks like a great project! I have been inspired! Smart move putting the ad in Ceramics Monthly! I'll bet the mud starts flying now!

Comment by Brigitte Martin on January 3, 2011 at 7:20pm: Just a little update to let you all know that things are humming along quite nicely for the Humor in Craft book at this point. With about about more 8 weeks to go until the deadline, low res images and texts are coming in in large numbers and things are looking REALLY GOOD.... if I may say so myself :-)

The funny pieces out there are mind boggling, and what the artists have to say about the role that humor plays in their work is diverse and most interesting. I am SO GLAD I am doing this project.

If you haven't emailed in your submission yet, please remember to do so, as a reminder the deadline is March 1.

Email low res photos and your text to humorincraft at yahoo dot com. Any questions? Use the same email or get in touch through here.

I look forward to seeing your humorous work!

Brigitte

Comment by Brigitte Martin on October 13, 2010 at 12:36pm: The call just went out on a blog in JAPAN. Thank you, "T" :-)

Comment by Brigitte Martin on September 25, 2010 at 8:17am: Just found this hat on glamcult.com. I always thought the British have a great sense of humor. Especially in the fashion world. And I mean this in the nicest way, possums, not being sarcastic for once. Just take the amazing Vivienne Westwood for instance, and then this guy, Stephen Jones. Ah, I so love a good "drama" photo.
