Ricë Freeman-Zachery
Midland, Texas, United States
I have the best job in the world: I get to sit around in my pajamas all day and call up artists and ask them nosy questions and then write about them. And then, in my spare time, I get to make fabric art. Every now and then--about once a year or so--I get to write a book--my newest one is Creative Time and Space, due out in October 2009. Writing, schmoozing, stitching--all without having to leave the house--what more could anyone want?

Making a Big Fun Mess

I know I've been remiss about showing photos, so I thought I'd take some of what I've been playing with this morning. The EGE bought me a roll of cheapo kraft paper yesterday, and this morning I cut it in big pieces, wadded those up (with help from Moe, who adores paper and rolled on it and chewed on it and used it to slide across the floor) and took them outside.

I poured the leftover coffee on them and dumped out the coffee grounds and smushed it up:


and then I got my spray Adirondack ink and sprayed them. And wet them from the hose and sprayed some more and then smushed them up some more:


Now we'll see what happens as it all dries. If it does--it looks, once again, as if it might rain today. Grrrrrrrr. I need some SUNSHINE here, people!
