fabric painting + printing + stuff like that

Hello out there in blogland. I've been a busy little bee lately. Last week I taught two, count 'em two, Paint + Print on Fabric workshops - first at The Weaving Center, in Tarrytown, NY; then for the Greater Hartford Quilt Guild, in Berlin, CT. Much fun was had by all. Here's what it looked like...

Thanks to all who participated in the workshops and to the many, many, many people who came to my Friday night lecture too. I hope you learned something new and fascinating!

peace y'all

P.S. The next opportunity to come and play with me: Art & Soul Retreat, Hampton, VA, April 28+29. Be there.

365: Make Something Every Day

Some of y'all might remember that I spent 2008 making a block print a day. This adventure was largely inspired by my brilliant friend Noah and his Skull-A-Day project. Noah has a new book out called 365: Make Something Every Day and Change Your Life! (available at independent book stores and here). I'm honored to be featured in the book and on Noah's 365 blog .

I've lost count of how many snow storms we've had so far this year. As I type, my driveway is racking up the inches. I've been thinking a lot about Florida...

Won't you linger, let me run my fingers through your hair?
Won't you stay? I can't play like I don't care.
I think you're dope, and I hope I'm making myself clear.
I think you're fly and that's why I'm getting out of here.

I just want to light you up
light you up
like a fire

Michael Franti y'all. Coolest man on the planet.






you're the one I wanna be with
when the sun goes down
that's the sound
of sunshine
