    Dear 2roses:

    Welcome to crafthaus ! I am very glad you joined us.

    There is always a lot of activity on the site, so it is great that you have added some images of your work so quickly. I really like your work as you seem to have quite a subversive streak. I got a good chuckle out of the images posted and I am sure you will get some great feedback from some of the other artists.

    Thanks for posting a comment on one of the blogs already. You work quickly :-) Of course, if there are other topics you'd much rather talk about, please add them to the site so that the rest of us can chime in.

    I really hope you will enjoy being with this network and find the exchanges interesting and fun. The more you put into it, the more you will get out of it, for sure.

    If there are ever any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to email me anytime. I will do my best to be of help.

    Again: Welcome !

    Hello Corliss and John:

    I gather from your website that you participated twice in the Materials Soft/Hard Exhibition in Denton, TX.

    One of our crafthaus members has tried to get into this exhibition a couple of times, unfortunately so far without success, even though her work seems to be a great fit.

    I was hoping you could share with us a few images and descriptions of the pieces you exhibited there as well as give us information about the event itself and anything that you would find relevant from your experience. There is nothing on their website that is really helpful in this way.

    Thanks so much.
    Brigitte

    Thank you very much for your great response re Hard/Soft Materials. Very encouraging. I will share your answer with the crafthaus member who asked me about this. She will be glad to hear that there's "hope".

    Thank you very much for taking the time to answer this. Your insight is invaluable and much appreciated.

    Thanks so much for your lovely comments about my work. It's great to see you on here, too! I had only ever seen the work we carried when I was in The Gallery - great to see your broad selection.

    Thank you for the comment. I looked at your website, and of course, I adore the botanical series. The colors and dimensions of the brooch series are stunning and work well together.

  • Stevie B.

    Beautiful, stunning, and what a wide-range of work!

    The last photo of the martini was it for Art of the Martini?

    My glass so far looks much like yours, except for the twines, and leaves, and work done to it...I was thinking of just signing it and sending it back, but for some odd reason I don't think that will work. Oh well, I'll wait till the panic and pressure fully take over and see what I come up with.

    Sep 22, 2008

  • Stevie B.

    Well panic is slowly setting in. Although the stress it creates does help push me at times, sometimes it makes me a bit crazier then normal, pushing me to think of the most ridiculous solutions.

    I really wanted to do something other then a glass, since your allowed, but cutting stainless steel isn't the easiest thing the world. I'm still thinking about it however. My friend has some electric tool used to take apart cars...But do I risk ruining the glass and making a mess and entering nothing?
    The sensible, realistic part of me cries out "NO!"

    But that's such a tiny part, with such a weak voice ;)

    Hi Stevie,
    Is this not what that skateboarding video was all about? The Martini people encourage you to get out there on the edge, so lets talk about cutting stainless steel. Its not much different than cutting any metal. A jeweler's saw, a hack saw and a drill bit are the only tools you really need to make any kind of a cut or hole in that stainless steel martini glass. How did you want to cut the glass? We can probably step you through the technique and process.

    Amazing, innovative, and sometimes a bit off the wall. No wonder I love the work :)

    Hi there,
    I was on crafthaus the site when I noticed an ad for YES on prop 8 (in california). I wrote an email to the founder and realize she may not know who advertises on the site. Prop 8 is offensive and discriminatory-should she allow ads for the nazi party or child porno? I encourage all of you to email Brigite Martin-educating her on this problem. The ad says that prop 8 "supports marriage rights, protect traditional marriage" we all know what it means, any %$@#*! straight couple can get hitched but a couple who have shared their lives for 25 + years through family, illness, happiness and death can't be called a family by our government. Any straight couple can get married after knowing one another for a minute but a true family, those who have spent their lives together can't get the same -federal-rights.

    Please email Brigitte and let her know that this ad is on crafthaus-It does not represent my opinions, beliefs, and morals, Let her know what you think. Brigitte Martin, LUKE & ELOY, Gallery Director
    Editor, www.crafthaus.ning.com


    Please send her an email now.
    thanks,
    alison

    While I do agree that nazis have the right to march in this country and exercise their free speech, this site is not a government forum and prop 8 proponents don't belong here. This is a community of artists, not the government-which has the ability to imprison. We only have the power to shame.

    Corliss and John:

    Thank you very much for your membership payment and support of the crafthaus community. Your membership is good through 4-15-2010.

    Be well and let me know your comments and suggestions for future improvements of the site. Maybe you would like to host one of the crafthaus groups in the future ? The SENSE OF HUMOR section would be the best fit !

    Thank you. You are the best.

    Thanks for befriending me here! I just joined up and haven't had time to see who else I know. It's an interesting place, this. ;-)

  • Lora Hart

    Unfortunately I'm working that day. I teach almost every weekend and book out about 4-6 months in advance, so I've never been able to make one. And I'd really love to. Drat!

    Thanks for the warm welcome ! I'm still trying to figure it all out but I can already see what I've been missing ;o) Oh, I just saw my dear friend Lora is right down here on you page too ! Aha, see what I mean :o)))

    Thank you for becoming friends. I love your work! Especially, the Heel Spears! You have put fun in work.
    “Hankies” is made from PMC+ sheets. The sheets are very pliable. It was developed for origami but because I have worked with fabric in the past I saw different possibility.
    I was born in Santa Barbara but my parents move away when I was 6. I have visited many times and love all that I have seen. I still conceder myself to be Californian.
    I wish continued success.

    2Roses:

    Your SNAG online voting system is easy to use and worked like a charm !! Thank you so very much for developing it.

    During Snag you two were publicly credited for this effort during the intro slide presentation !!

    Thanks,
    Brigitte

  • Brigitte Martin

    It is certainly most heartening to learn that you two still engage in some sort of wholesome community activities as boring as they may be. There might still be a very slim chance for redemption and salvation in the cards for you. Although, honestly, given my background, I am not really a good judge of that.

    Hi guys!
    I just wanted to tell you that I was really hoping to meet you at SNAG...that would have closed the circle of people I really wanted to meet there!

    Hello,

    You contacted me today requesting confirmation that I would participate in the "bird-based" online exhibition. I thought I had already responded in the affirmative several days ago. Did you receive that confirmation?

    thanks again for the invite,
    Linda

    OK. Look forward to seeing the exhibition.

    Thanks for the request and the compliment. Yes I think the direct metal process really turns everything on it's head. Too soon to tell, but certainly something to follow.

    Hi!
    beautiful work--I especially like the gold woven bracelet.

    If I can ask, how did you get an etsy mini on your page? I searched for etsy in applications but nothing came up.

  • Sarah Abramson

    You are welcome. I like thinking about these things. I could have gone on and on, but I am hoping that someone else will reply continue the dialogue. I secretly hope that I have ruffled some feathers...

    I'm relatively new to Crafthaus. I think it's a great forum for artist and craftspeople to communicate. There's a tempest brewing in the nation and the world and all our lives are in for ride. Doing what we all do was trying enough before George W., now more than ever I hope to have company with this membership to weather this storm. YOU seem to be in the vanguard of several of these blogs. I appreciate your writings and thoughts. Thank you for your gentle feedback to me on the mortar and brick blog.

    Thanks to all of you! I'm not sure that I've found the exact exhibit you mentioned, but I did find this one:

    Perhaps the show you saw originated at the Museum of Medieval Torture in Italy? great stuff!

    I'm dreaming of venetian finger screws! All of this has led to some new, different pieces about Abu Graib, as well, so double thanks!
