i just wanted to say hello. and share photos that have inspired me over this month. i'm thinking about how i want to connect in this space. is it through only my art & process? sharing inspiration? the day to day? what does it all mean?
the blogs i like to read best share of truth and beauty and have consistency... regular postings that is. there has been a weird thing in my life (and i imagine yours?) where more and more people are blog, flickr, facebook, myspace savvy and there is more of an overlap of my people in real life with internet life. what to share and with whom? i felt when i started this blog it was only my little art & craft blog community, and a couple of friends and now because i used a nifty thing called a site meter (eek!) and i am curious about my audience and want to welcome you here! thank you for reading... i love your comments. feel free to at any point introduce yourselves:)
i started this blog as a way to process going back to art school and now that i've finished i'm recreating what this space is. i think beauty, truth and frequent postings is the way to go! any other suggestions?
sweet dreams,
m

Hi Mati,
Your posts are always so thoughtful and inspiring, and I'll continue to read your blog no matter what direction you take it in!
i spy Miss Boho's picture of Miss Swirly :-)
I had a time when i'd be posting almost every day but these days it's more sporadic - real life tends to get i the way.
i love coming here to see what you've been up to, and your beautiful art of course, so lookign forward to seeing the changes as they come :-) x
Hi! I just wanted to delurk and say how much I love checking in on your blog. Your photos and art are really inspiring - I love the colors in both. I've been so happy to see that there are so many women out there who are interested in making things, and who do it so well!

I have actually struggled at various times with what my blog is "supposed" to be about, but what I've realized is that honesty is the key. Whatever I happen to write about on any given post, it doesn't really matter as long as it is honest and authentic. I have grown to love this community very deeply...I think it is changing the world, and the more honest voices we have out there, regardless of the topic, the better.
shell, susannah, maura & linda!
thank you. it's so nice to read these comments and feel open to change, or rather a natural progression of growth in this space. thanks for letting me use your photo shari:) and nice to "meet" you maura!

I've been using this medium for almost (eek!) 9 years now, so I can relate to the space changing as my life changes. I have struggled this past year especially, though, not knowing what to say and, sometimes, not feeling like saying much at all!
But I agree. It's important. And there are some amazing people that I want to stay connected to--so what to do? I am going to try to write more often, more honestly, more openly. If you can do it, certainly I can too. xoxo
First time commenter on your blog, but yours is an inspirational find for me... so, keep sharing what inspires you, and even if it's not frequent, the impact is still as great.
Thanks for sharing these pics; they're beautiful!
beauty & truth for sure. & hopes and aspirations & inspirations :) xxx.
beauty and truth are pretty hard to argue with... and i always find so of both in the extraordinary community.
your space especially always injects a booster of beauty into my day.
i love that photo of swirly's great legs and boots!
