It’s a little blurry, angry, hurty and smudged with lotion, but here is a first look at my tattoo, forever found on my upper back. The design is based off of The Last Unicorn, which I think is pretty awesome.

The amazing fiber artist Joetta Maue is curating a fiber arts show and has put out a call for entries.

connective thread will be an exhibition of contemporary fiber work that explores the role of thread and the act of making as connective at Sweet Lorraine Gallery in Brooklyn, NY. The exhibition will be held during the month of January 2010.

The theme is open to all interpretations. Some possibilities are work that has a metaphorical connection to history, the body, family, space, or work can focus specifically on dealing with the literal connections created in the act of making. Please feel free to interpret liberally.

Submission Deadline is November 25.

For more information and to apply visit the call for entries page.

Wednesday night join me in the age old discussion of what is art and what is craft.

As part of the craftapalooza that is CraftWeek DC, the Washington Project for the Arts has put together a panel discussion on the dividing line that is art and craft, (or is there one?) called Tug of War.

Curator and critic, Jeffry Cudlin will moderate a panel consisting of one artist, one crafter (that’s me) and two gallery directors. Each will give their thoughts on where the line is drawn between the two terms, and the discussion will open up to the audience.

When all is said and done, panelists and audience members will be invited to participate in the Art vs. Craft tug of war! Pick the side that speaks to you and tug, tug, tug!

Which end do you think I’ll end up on?
