Tommye McClure Scanlin ~ artist and teacher ~ tapestry and other things ~ Dahlonega, GA, USA
I am an artist who observes and responds to my surroundings for inspiration. My primary artistic medium is handwoven tapestry, an ancient method of working with fibers to create images. As I seek images and ideas to interpret into tapestry I experience my surroundings a closely as I can. Photographs, sketches, paintings, and writings all are part of the research I put into my work.
I have been living in the southern Appalachians most of my life and so my surroundings are filled with natural forms of woods, streams, and fields. My eyes are frequently drawn to the myriad details of the landscape and many of my tapestries are based on aspects of those details, simplified and enlarged in a weaving.

that's a wonderful cut!
ReplyDeleteIt's very becoming! But I want to tell you that after 20 years or so of very short hair, I got really tired of looking at myself in the mirror and decided to let mine grow. It's in the in-between state now, I look like a hag, but I'm trying to be patient because I wanted my hair to look "just like Tommye's." Isn't life funny.
ReplyDeleteFoxy. You look mahvelous, dahling, to steal a phrase from Billy Crystal.

Wow. I guess I know how far behind I've gotten in reading my favorite blogs when I tune in & find a whole "makeover" has happened!
ReplyDeleteI love it, Tommye! I went short about 20 years ago & haven't changed it much since then. The next makeover for me will probably be when I go completely silver, but I'm actually going to enjoy that.
I also enjoyed catching up on all of your activities... looking forward to seeing what you have up your sleeve this summer!
