Margarita Sampson commented on Barbara Hanselman's blog post Yarn Poms Poms as what?"mmm, I'd like to enter in here... I was at the Sydney opening, and felt that through exaggerated forms and rich colours, the works functioned to almost ritualise the act of body adornment.Choosing a piece (colour/shape/application) made…"
Katja Toporski commented on Barbara Hanselman's blog post Yarn Poms Poms as what?"Thank you for your important explanations about these works, Melissa! Here the interaction with the work becomes part of its concept, something which is hard to convey in an online image. I was not aware of this context; only noticing the…"
The Justified Sinner commented on Barbara Hanselman's blog post Yarn Poms Poms as what?"From my own point of view, I am in no doubt that these can be considered jewellery - very beautiful jewellery at that - and not "anything you can get away [with]": jewellery which treads an interesting border between jewellery and…"
"From your involved explanation, this sounds more like 'installation art' rather than a showing of fine craft.
I'm sure McArdle's prowess with dyes and silks is commendable and I applaud her for taking the initiative to…"
Melissa Cameron commented on Barbara Hanselman's blog post Yarn Poms Poms as what?"Hi Barbara,
The works by Claire McArdle, as with all of the artists in the Coming up from the south online exhibition, were hand-made by the artist. In the case of this series, McArdle hand-dyed the silk (which accounts for the amazing subtle colour…"
Yarn Poms Poms as what?
I remember learning to put daily occurrences in perspective by asking myself just how important this thing craving my attention will be a year from now.By predetermining the value of everyday happening on my future, I’m able to stop wasting time and energy on the frivolous and focus on the more important.I only wish the fine art and craft world would do the same - which brings me to this so-called jewelry by Claire McArdle of Melbourne in Victoria, Australia. Her pieces are touted to “creates a…See More

Brigitte Martin said… - Hello Barbara,
Welcome to crafthaus, the network for craft artists and those who support them! I am very glad you joined us! Your crafthaus membership is valid through July 15, 2013.
Please look around and add your thoughts to the groups, blogs and discussions. Crafthaus is a participatory sport!
Please note that ALL images sent to the website are vetted to assure a measure of overall quality control. Unlike other image sharing websites, crafthaus is not a "free-for-all". Our members present their work in front of an educated and critical audience so the photos have to be GREAT. Our goal is to show our members' work in the best possible light. From the many images received daily, we aim to post as many as possible. Crafthaus heartily encourages comments from the membership, however, with regard to photos posted or not, we have a strict "NO WHINING" policy in effect! If your images don't get posted they do not meet crafthaus quality standards. Please review the photo guidelines under the FAQ tab.
If there are ever any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to email me via crafthauseditor at live dot com, I will do my best to be of help.
I hope you will enjoy being with this network, and will find the exchanges interesting and fun.
Again: Welcome !
Brigitte Martin

SNAG Toronto part 4
I'll leave my Toronto report with a few notes about the conference lectures and presentations. I'd have to say that there certainly was a mosaic of diversity in the 3+ days at the Royal York Hotel. From Damian Skinner's stoic keynote series on the jewelry making/marketing universe in his musical New Zealand accent, through a series of very short "rapid-fire" presentations by a wide variety of artists, to the Professional Development Seminar that lashed the artists and their works to the…See More

And....yeah, don't forget those chasing tools - I'm sure I'll want them."

Showing Publicly and Building a Legacy Privately
For the next 13 months we'll discuss the trials, triumphs, and tribulations of exhibiting in art shows as emerging artists and established artists.

There will be surprises around every corner, with photos, videos, SNAG conference coverage, and occasional interviews by rising artists!See More
Jennifer Dewey left a comment for John Lunn"Regardless of concert, we could meet Saturday morning and walk into show together... I do want to show you the extra chasing tools at some point (hope I remember to pack them - note to self), in case you want any of them :) Here's my cell…"

Jennifer Dewey left a comment for John Lunn"So glad you'll be able to buzz through show... it is HUGE, I hear, so probably difficult to meet up there.
I was thinking about seeing Santana... maybe I'll bite the bullet and we could meet up there. What section are your…"
