we are done hibernating?

Vicki, dear, whatever became of our blog?

We could be having our art/aesthetics/beauty conversations here, and then everyone would know how thoughtful we are--full of thoughts, that is.

This sewing project has made me fall in love with fabric. My mom has been taking me to different fabric stores (we're bonding over this shared love), and I have seen many things I would like to buy. For no intended project, just to have, to inspire a new project. I must find a way to incorporate fabric into things I do for art class. Tie it, perhaps, to femininity, crafts, decoration, but outside of what was said/done in the 70s.

I made a list like the bird one around this topic, but includes,
dainty, birds, eat like a bird, nesting, empty nest, homemaking, crafting

Do you think the feminist movement failed, Vicki?

Why do the feminists at school sort of annoy me? Why am I surprised when a woman does something smart? When I'm a woman, I'm smart. Can I make art about being a woman, or with the slant of femininity, and still be interesting on other levels?

Martha Stewart: crafty, yet aggressive. Any feminist art would have to be contradictory like that. Wallhangings that were huge. Wallhangings of gruesome scenes, with real delicate embroidery. Comforting, soft, warm but also claustrobic.
