Art is Good Medicine
January 27, 2008 Craft Columns
In today's issue of the Grand Rapids Press, I wrote about Shauna Swantek, an inspiring mixed media artist who stitched her way through a serious bout with depression. Now she teaches fiber art workshops around West Michigan, instructing others about the healing properties of making stab-stitch purses, fabric and altered books and fabric postcards. She's the woman who recently showed me how to make fabric postcards. Read her story and try out the directions for making fabric postcards.
Speaking of fabric postcards... is anyone interested in a swap? Post a comment below if you are. If there's interest, I'll set one up.
