Anne Kelly: Textile Art From Re-used Textile Treasures SS014
Today on the Stitchery Stories textile art podcast, Anne Kelly shares her life in fabric & thread. She chats with Susan Weeks about her inspiration drawn from everyday objects and textiles, international travel and folk art.
Susan chats with Anne about:
- International travel is not always a positive experience for everyone
- Her Moving Memories collaborative project (come and join in)
- Folk Art and being inspired by everyday, ordinary objects
- Collage as the link from mixed media to textiles
- Use those old pieces of fabric that you love - liberate your textile treasures!
- Cover your background to remove that threat of a blank page
- Writing books, teaching, and sharing our art
- How the internet has transformed life for an artist
- Thriving on 'happy accidents'
- The unhelpfulness of self imposed pressures
- How working on more than one project at a time can be very helpful but why multitasking is not...
- Why not use your UFOs as a starting point for a new piece of work?
