See you December 1st, 2011


This is one of the block prints I'll edit for reproduction on fabric, cards and paper prints. Creative Commons copyright. Yasmin Sabur 2011.
I'm taking a break from social networking for a month or two.
I've got a to do list a mile long. Giving myself permission to start crossing items off that list one by one.
And another little block print. Creative Commons copyright. Yasmin Sabur 2011.
Here's what I'll be working on:
Editing small stencilled and block printed strike ups for digitally printed fabric and other reproductions including cards and paper prints. I'll use Illustrator and PhotoShop for the editing.
Completing the marketing materials for artifacts to be sold in museum and art center gift shops, and sending the materials out.
Completing a syllabus for classes on dyeing and resist processes.
Creating videos and tutorials for those same classes.
Redesigning my web presence and trying to get a handle on it.
Redesigning my print materials to coordinate with the web stuff.
Completely finishing (backing, binding, stretching, etc.) at least four of the twenty or so works in progress laying around my studio, getting those pieces photographed, and then into storage.
This print is framed (I know you can see that.) Creative Commons copyright. Yasmin Sabur 2011.
Writing proposals for solo and collaborative shows and submitting them.
Four of the six works in the Triangular Trade series are fully sketched out and the background fabric is dyed. My goal is to complete two, and get the other two moving towards completion. This work is part of a larger series concerning Labor, Politics and Economics. The exhibition proposals mentioned above will be based on this work. (So get on it girl.)
Selecting a dozen pieces for the Etsy shop and other online market places, and then leaving it be. I have had enough of Etsy to last a lifetime.
Let me know what you'll be up to while I'm away. The chances of not peeking at the internet at least once a day are slim, if not next to none.

    Hi Jamie, thanks for your compliment. I'm looking forward to what two months of creating with no marketing task will produce.

Facebook, Friends, Family, Business Pages, Groups

Lots of blah, blah, wee going on about FaceBook and 25 friends, business pages no longer the be all end all, and having more meaningful interactions with family, friends and in groups. Some folks are in an uproar (some folks are always in an uproar, or so it seems). "Our relationship is in trouble." Here it comes. If you are family or a close friend and the only way you maintain contact with me is through FB, our relationship is in trouble. We are both aware of this. "My feed algorithm feels like FB tracks the posts I respond to" I’ve never counted the number of people I see posts from. My feed algorithm feels like FB tracks the posts I respond to and shows me posts with similar subject matter from a number of different folks. Some whose posts I comment on, on a regular basis, others I don’t have any idea who they are, but I usually find their posts interesting and I’m glad to read them. "FB is a public platform" I have always sel...

The Dye Garden

Image
The idea of the dye garden is very simple. Request dye plant seeds from me, or buy your own and begin your garden. Doesn't matter whether you have an acre, a small backyard, a window sill or a balcony. See below for links on how to get your seeds started. I've ordered indigo seeds from Botanical Colors (Madam Magyar), Blue Light Junction (grown in Baltimore, MD) and Ossabaw Island, GA (Mayan Blue). Soon indigo seeds should be arriving from my friend Kiri in Brazil.   In addition to the indigo seeds, I also have weld, woad, coreopsis, black hopi sunflower and madder seeds.  This seed variety will produce a full spectrum of colors. Primary colors when used individually in a dyebath, and a host of secondary and tertiary colors when combined. If you live in the Stockton area, email me (y.sabur@gmail.com)  and we can arrange a time and place for a safe pickup.
