LiPsTiCk aNd A BirDie





Ok, this is cool. I think. Well, we will see how it goes. I definitely have things to say that I want to share. I told my son the title of my blog, and he said that's weird... I said why? ... and he said Art Chicken Action, what's that? Ha ha! Well, he knows I love roosters (since long before this last trend of the last several years!-- which btw, makes them easy to find in stores...), so he thought the title was related to roosters. But, I am a chick, and this blog is about me, my art and design, and my profundities (well, I hope you think so, too!)


The pics today feature my very first foray into tapestry weaving. This piece titled, Pit Bull with Lipstick, and a Birdie (ask me), was recently in a juried art show on beautiful Vancouver Island, British Columbia. The tapestry will be encorporated into a purse (as will 7 metres of loom weaving -for 13 purses- I'll show you another day : )


I am a fashion designer, FIT grad (NYC), with a BSc. in Apparel Production Management. I am currently a mom with a home based business doing alterations/custom work. In my "spare time" I am exploring fibre arts of all kinds, and I create one-of-a-kind items for sale via klozhausfunk@gmail.com (until my nephew sets up my website!!) If you are shopping for unique and "funkygreen" products, e-mail me, and I will send you pics of items for sale.

ciao, for now.

love the planet and all beings on it

  2. Hi Margie. Interesting looking tapestry. What's the difference between tapestry and weaving?
