Jeanne Marklin: Snow dyeing with MX dyes
http://jeannemarklin.blogspot.com/2015/02/snow-dyeing-with-mx-dyes.html
Wednesday, February 25, 2015. Snow dyeing with MX dyes. In the North East we have had snow storm after snow storm. Although it would be great if we could have the snow along with 70 degree weather, the snow is beautiful and a gift for dyers! The fabric is soaked in soda ash first and then hung to dry. I use a folding home drying rack that can be folded away. Carol used dry dye powder on top of the snow. I used dye concentrates but will try the dry powder as an experiment. After the snow has melted, the f...

Jeanne Marklin: December 2014
http://jeannemarklin.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 21, 2014. Recent work and Holiday wishes. FaceBook has taken over my social media life and I've been spending more time on it and less posting to the blog. My FaceBook page link is Jeanne Marklin Art. I did finish a couple of pieces in the last few months. They haven't been exhibited yet but will be entered in juried shows in 2015. Entering shows is always a crap shoot but it's also a validation that our art work is speaking to others. Here's a piece I finished in July:. Art With a Needle.

http://jeannemarklin.blogspot.com/2014/10/autumn-in-berkshires.html
Thursday, October 16, 2014. Autumn in the Berkshires. Sweet Brook farm llamas. They have great wool, maple syrup, eggs and things made from alpaca wool. A visual treat of Autumn color on an overcast and drizzly day. Looking down our street toward Williams College. The two points are the college chapel. October 17, 2014 at 4:18 PM. Even after 57 years in New England I am awestruck! October 17, 2014 at 6:22 PM. October 18, 2014 at 8:37 PM. Gorgeous photos, Jeanne! October 18, 2014 at 11:42 PM. Simple templ...

Please take a look at his blog post and give yourself a thoughtful few minutes. If you're a photographer, you will also be in awe at his skill. Let me know what you think if you have time. His post made me want to travel to so many places, and reminds me to be thankful for my family and for being born into one that always had enough of everything to sustain us. Links to this post.

Jeanne Marklin: April 2014
http://jeannemarklin.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 25, 2014. I've been enjoying the blog posts from the National Museum of Women in the Arts. They have been engaging and thoughtful and show a real change in the museum's focus toward a more contemporary approach. The blog is called "Broad Strokes" and is well worth subscribing to - don't take my word for it - check it out here:. Http:/ womeninthearts.wordpress.com/author/womeninthearts/. And undoubtedly helped move many people to be more understanding and accepting of people who are gay.

Jeanne Marklin: June 2015
http://jeannemarklin.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 29, 2015. Janet Echelman in Boston. Creates aerial sculptures that float between buildings, over roundabouts, inside huge lobbies - anywhere that a monumental work of art can be installed. Boston commissioned her to make a piece that would hang over the Rose Kennedy Greenway for the summer of 2015. Echelman named it "As If It Were Already Here". I made a special trip into Boston to see it and am so glad I did. It's breathtaking! Echelman did a Ted talk that has been viewed by over a million ...
