white silk was gathered, dyed with tea and then smocked in black. the gathering thread was fairly loose and it still worked as a resist. in fact I think there's a shibori technique where the pleats are stitched like that...

I am at a bit of a loss as to how to list the amazing work of Megan Mitchell... it is art certainly, but it also falls under the heading of fashion, especially since the world of beauty and fashion seems to be both Mitchell's muse and curse. And finally, it seems that she is working within the context of jewelry as accessories, celebrating both the exquisite (using faceted glass and sparkling beads) and the grotesque (she makes wounds, gashes, rashes, boils, scars, and other assorted enemies of commercialized feminine beauty). Her work reminds me of the fine jewelry of Kali Arulpragasam, previously here, who creates wearable bullet holes and knife slashes out of gold and semi-precious stones.

Hold on everyone, this is a long one. It has been a crazy month, and it's still going strong! I am currently on a bit of a workshop teaching tour, which started at the Appalachian Center for Craft in Smithville, TN with a class called Expressive Feltmaking. I had a lovely group that was really excited about learning all the possibilities that felt had to offer. It was a lot of fun to have an entire week to work with the class and watch them explore different aspect of felting that appealed to each of them. Alice's Nuno Felting Experiment Dawn's Nuno Felted Scarf Gloria's Bag and necklace with felted flowers Gloria's wet felting sample Jan's felted boots/slippers, which she lovingly called her Bears Jan's Suncatcher Keithly's Scarves Maya's Sculptural Samples Shannon's felted jewelry Everyone on the last evening of class. After leaving the craft center I made my way up to Michigan to visit family, and then made my way to Mackinac Island, where I taught a felting class that focused on Mittens and Slippers. The weather decided to set the mood, feeling more like fall than the end of summer: Everyone in the class made a sample swatch and then we dived in to the felted mittens and slippers.

Nous associons souvent la broderie aux demoiselles du Moyen Âge qui passaient leurs journées à attendre un prince, ou encore aux cours de travaux manuels à l’école. Mais il existe de vrais chefs-d’œuvre qui nous montrent qu’aujourd’hui il ne s’agit plus seulement d’un travail artisanal mais d’un véritable art du fil, et qu’il peut être tout à fait moderne. Chacune de ces broderies est une pièce artistique dont le but est de décorer, de faire plaisir ou de rappeler les meilleurs moments de la vie. Ces passionnés qui manient le fil à la perfection vont te faire redécouvrir cette merveilleuse technique sous un angle différent.
