Today is the beginning.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">I began art school at age 21. I began teaching art at age 19. I began drawing the day I held a crayon. My grandmother gave me needle and thread, while my mom gave me a set of plastic dolls and magic markers. I rubbed off all their fake, stamped on faces and drew on my own. Now I will continue this creative journey and create my own world, where I recreate the world as I find it. Life for me lives in dusty boxes. China gave us a plethora of cheap goods, which I see as a wealth of machine-made junk waiting to be rediscovered and transformed by hand into something loved, used and unique.<br /><br />Sew Me Some Love, my little craft biz will come alive September 30, 2009. I cross my fingers for her and give her my blessings. My hopes for SewMe are simple at first, but one day I hope she will blend the line between craft and art. Maybe she will inspire future crafty artists to quit their spread-sheeting day jobs and pursue their true love (soapmaking? book-binding? cupcake cooking?) allowing them to feel fully fulfilled and replace their time-in-the-car-sipping-coffee with time-with-their-kids-spilling-cocoa.<br /></span>SewMeSomeLovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18387250834147364569noreply@blogger.com1
