After reading a lot of articles, I finally put my subscribe links up at the top even though it wasn't the first thing I thought about people seeing. But it's where everyone looks for them. What works for art is always a little different, but it's a tech world we're working in. <br /><br />You and I might be similar in that crochet is a modality for us. We use it as an artist would use paint to create. It's less about function and more about expression. Some of my best experiences have been projects that challenged me out of my comfort zone and pushed me to do something I was not as familiar with.AberrantCrochethttp://aberrantcrochet.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1486437992384547296.post-22766512005296616682011-07-20T20:00:33.316-04:002011-07-20T20:00:33.316-04:00Holy cow!

Added the feed too... I think. :)<br /><br />Finding my way in the fiber arts area... even just the arts is a new venture for me. This is funny because of all the years doing this. Learning processes are funny though... will keep at it.<br /><br />Love the insight.

Not just on the front page of the blog (do that too) but on every post. As it is, if I want to share your blog post with my followers on twitter, I have to copy and paste your link above. (At least now I don't have to also shrink it with tiny.url or something.) Most people won't take time to do it. Anyway, it's a fast paced world, so make it easy for people to share and love on ya. <br /><br />Also, I don't see an RSS subscribe feed button. There's a subscribe with email place, but not a feed button for those who will only subscribe to a blog by use of their readers. I've paged up and down your side bar 5 times and haven't found one, so if there is one, it's not visible enough. <br /><br />I know that in Austin there are annual contests for fiber arts. You might see if there's guild or something in your area that holds these. I have also found the insight of "regular artists" to be invaluable in my own path.<br /><br />We're all learning. And this is truly a frontier of sorts and we're the pioneers.AberrantCrochethttp://aberrantcrochet.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1486437992384547296.post-84458643764316468432011-07-20T13:21:00.261-04:002011-07-20T13:21:00.261-04:00Good idea... our local chapter isn't too far a...Good idea... our local chapter isn't too far away.
