The time has come, Issue 15 is ready to go! These last months have been quite eventful, there has been change, reshuffling, new processes, but here we are on time and Issue 15 is gorgeous 🙂 Since the last issue came out, both Evanita and Debbie have moved on to other exciting projects. I am incredibly grateful for all they have done for tinyStudio – Evanita has been amazing for years behind the scenes throughout all our fiberygoodness courses, and
I love it that we are such a global community here on Fiberygoodness, we have wonderful connections throughout Europe, the US, and here in the Southern Hemisphere too. It leads to an amazing diversity of experiences, fibers, and projects! At the moment here in New Zealand we are well into Autumn, the trees have very much turned and there is a chill in the air that makes me want to snuggle up in front of a blazing fire, watch old
The time has come for epic fibery adventures… Enrolments are now open! This is a very special announcement from Fiberygoodness, as it heralds a new Sailing for our flagship course – the Journey to the Golden Fleece!

I can hear the call of the gulls, the slapping of the waves against the hull and the creak of the timbers as our ship is prepared for the exciting journey ahead. This is the time when anticipation can be tasted in the sea air, the time when adventure comes knocking and we can’t turn away, because we have done this before and we know what could happen… Yes this is to tell you that my wheel is stowed, my
As many of you know, selected finished pieces from those of us who have gone on the Journey to the Golden Fleece have been on display at the Bellefont Art Museum in Bellefonte, PA. With our trusty photographer, Sara Norine James, riding shotgun, we headed up for the opening reception a couple of weeks ago. Was it amazing? Oh, yes…truly amazing to see the pieces hung in the gallery. Sara took shot beautiful images for us. So without further ado,
For the past year, we have been working on organizing a showing of a collection of twenty pieces representing the Journey to the Golden Fleece with the Bellefonte Art Museum. The project of making this happen has been a journey unto itself. Fortunately, I had a warm up project a couple of years ago when I organized the traveling Leather and Lace Challenge Collection with Deb Lambert of Picasso’s Moon. I thought when I had finished with that project, I
Finally, finally, spring is coming here in Pennsylvania (is that wishful thinking when we had snow yesterday?) and with spring, comes such things as graduations.  So, in keeping with the season, we are having our own graduation tomorrow night for our most recent final projects for the Journey to the Golden Fleece. We will be broadcasting live and here are the links: Youtube Google Plus I’ve been begging but so far, I’m still not able to get Suzy to commit
Wow, last week’s broadcast of the first round of graduation projects from the Journey to the Golden Fleece was so much fun! I hope you have had a chance to check it out and/or to download the PDF which contains all the projects with the write ups from the artists. All the projects were fantastic and we decided that we will, from time to time, feature some of these awesome creations. I’m going to kick this off with the cool
We had our first graduation ceremony for the participants in the Journey to the Golden Fleece last night and it was a so much fun! For those of us who could not join us for the live event, here is the recorded version. Here is the link to get the full PDF download of the portfolio of projects. It includes a few last minute additions that we weren’t able to get into the live presentation on time so be sure
Myths. Legends. Stories and fairy tales. We grew up with them, we read them to our kids, they entertain us and transport us to different and magical times and places. But you know, I don’t think thats all there is to it. If we go back a very long time, a really really  long time, before we had the computers and the interweb, before we had books, before we had written words.. these stories were more than just a moments
