This is a Fiber art blog definitely an art quilting blog.
I think it is clear that I enjoy photography as well. In fact my photos aid in making my art quilts.Photography is an art form as well.
Art can be passed on through heredity, there were several commercial artists in my family, as well as some very talented amatures. Must be that left side/ right side brain thing. There it is, hate math, live art, that’s me.
We can agree that one art form can lead to others. So here’s an example of that point.
Since I have a captive audience, { well I suppose you can leave, but I hope not} I’d like to share a few photos I took in early spring, of some local ferns with their new fronds emerging
I have a little announcement/plug to make. As you may well know, I am soon opening my own art web site. Exciting and scary for me. I plan to keep
my etsy shop open as well, http://etsy.com/shop/BarbaraHarmsFiberArt/. I’ll carry many non art items such as table runners, bed spreads, baby quilts and a section for fine art photography, high resulation art prints. I hope you will be willing to support my new website, which I’ll give further details soon, as well as my etsy shop http://etsy.com/shop/AsianArtAndQuilts/

About Myself & My Approach To My Art
About Myself & My Approach To My Art I can't remember a time in life, that art didn't play a role, in one form or another. But my primary focus as an artist, has been painting. Close to 20 years ago, I was introduced to quilting & quickly became passionate about it. However to create a quilt there are some necessary steps that have to be followed, this obviously restricts some of the creative choices. I began to miss the creative freedom possible with painting. Since there are only so many hours in a day and I had other important things going on in my life, I had to focus my interests. When I discovered mixed media art quilting, it was a great fit. The combination of quilting techniques with painting and other art skills opened new creative directions to explore. I was home!
It's the creative process that holds the greatest attraction for me. I love starting with a tiny seed of an idea; vague and blurred around the edges. Then I follow where it leads. My approach is more of an instinctual one. I usually don't do much pre-planning. My creative choices are made as they present themselves, based on my gut feeling. This approach can lead to quite a few changes in the direction the quilt takes. The outcome can come as a surprise. I love that element of surprise!
Sometimes everything just comes together & I think that this is one of my better ones. I can’t wait to show someone. I feel like a six year old, running home from school, a drawing in hand, excited to show Mom. At those times. I'm smiling like the Cheshire cat.

I also use photography in my art quilts. I love your take! It is so different from mine, but then every artist’s eye is different. Thank you for sharing.
