Lots of good stuff here this week, so let's begin!

An article from Marie-Therese Wisniowski about the history of fabric and dyes, HERE

An article over on Textile Artist with James Fox about his machine embroidery HERE

Elizabeth Barton has written a very interesting blog about learning, and discovering style, and the value of imitating other artists HERE (I haven't gone back to read the comments, but I'm sure they'll be interesting too!)



The Tafa Forum has an article about men learning to embroider in prison HERE

Here's another article (a rather good one, I think) at Art Business.com on how to price your art HERE

In this week's eye candy, there's a stunningly beautiful book sculpture at Steampunk Tendencies HERE

In this week's "discomfitting art" link (lol) Figure/Ground Communication has done an interview (pictures at the bottom) with Anne Harris HERE

Over at Big Red and Shiny there is a review of Sonia Almeida's recent show "The Event We Call Seeing" at the Simone Subal Gallery in NYC (I'm sorry I didn't link to it before the show was over - it slipped through the cracks over the holidays), but I still think it's well worth reading as the review itself feels like you're talking to a friend and it's informative and offers a fresh perspective (Note: if you mouse over the picture in the header, you will be shown other pictures you can look at and click on). That article is HERE

And then my favourite this week (I must have gone back to that article 20 times since it was posted at Colossal); the wonderfully beautiful and totally temporary sculptures of Martin Hill over HERE

Hope you've had a great week and that your weekend is even better.

See you on Monday with...?  'Til then!
