New post this week is about fear and it’s not what you think!

Hello Fear, my old friend - Misty Granade
Fear of success is a weird thing to be afraid of but here I am being weird. Again. What I'm doing to stay ahead of it.

Today I am crocheting and watching the Olympics. This is the “Mischievous Magpie Shawl” by Keep Calm and Crochet On UK. The yarn is “Blue Whistling Thrush Feather” and “Gardenia” by Robin’s Promise Yarn Co. and “Black Pearl” by Dream in Color.

Experimenting with some paper things. Trying to figure out what’s next.

I have been a writing *machine* this month. Meaning I’ve written a lot, not that I use AI.

Go read my latest piece about the business side of art making.

I just came here to brag that I have first drafts done of all my art grant essays and I’ve collected all of my collateral for it as well.

So you know I’m obsessed with making tassels, right? It’s turning into my signature move I guess. (1/3)

For those of you keeping count, I’ve applied to three open art calls this month and am in the process of writing a grant and I have two more open calls on my list. I’m proud of me for moving forward after being in a fallow work period last year. #ThinkingAboutMaking #MakingThings #InHerStudio

I worked on this project off and on for about 6 months last year. My nibling did the music, my partner helped edit, it was a family affair ❤️

I just submitted my work to an open call. It’s next tier from the calls I’ve been entering so I’m nervous and excited. Wish these pieces well as they are launched to this sphere…
#PaperWeaving #ThinkingAboutMaking #MakingThings #ArtYear #OnlyBeautifulThings #CrochetArt #Crochet #InHerStudio
A photo of an art piece consisting of three paper weavings that are attached to a stick. The warp is strings and the weft is paper in mostly shades of blue. The leftmost weaving has a giant yellow tassel hanging from it and the rightmost weaving has two blue tassels hanging from it. The stick is about four feet long and there is yarn wrapped around the branches and yarn ends are hanging down to flutter in the breeze. A photo of crocheted canvas background that was dyed in tea. There are smaller pieces of crochet that represent sky, sea, sand, shells, netting, and seaweed. There’s a giant rust colored tassel hanging from the bottom and small watercolor circles on the right. There’s a larger yellow and rust watercolor orb on the lower left.
