Wow. Have I done a lot and not blogged about it. I guess it's a good thing no one was reading this. Here are the things that happened since the last post:
 |
| First I got a lot better at Knitting (this is the Sylvi) |
 |
| Then, I got a lot better at spinning |
 |
and dying
|
 |
| Then my art professor at Cornell College, Tony Plaut (www.tonyplaut.com), introduced me to Lee Bontecou |
 |
| And that was really inspiring... so I got to work |
 |
| And with the help of Lindey Anderson, I created the show Connected in 2012 |
 |
| It looked like this. (More pictures at www.taylorfriese.yolasite.com |
|  |
| Then I went to Rome and saw this |
 |
| And ate this |
 |
| I started spinning things for people |
|
 |
| And knitting things for people |
 |
| And then this guy wrote a rap about me: |
|
| T Friese, spin what she wool'd into a fleece
to the ukelele beats,
She clicks her needles on the streets
On the corner on the block,
make you a custom woolen sock
Catch her sitting, knitting, getting quicker by the minute
Find a flitting kitten, make a mitten for its paws
Don't think your hard, you cant intarsia
Like the way that she do
Makin' lace up in this place
With threads that she pullin' through
If your head is spinning she will make it into yarn
Fine alpaca slacker phat sack napper in a barn
Make a nifty knit tree in a fit she's yelling "Darn!"
She's the hardest fiber artist
This side of the state
Knit a leather coat together
With the fibers of fate
You think you knit
But face your lacing it's debasing
You cant even relate
To the skill of fibers spilling
From her needles as of late

| I started a shop |
 |
| Where I sell things (www.etsy.com/shop/thefuzzbucket) |
 |
| Then life got weird. I met this strange thing... |
 |
| And saw this strange thing |
 |
| and made an art show about it for my senior thesis |
And now I'm about to graduate. I'm teaching a little bit of art at REM. I'm working for the Coralville Micheal's teaching knitting and crocheting... and that's essentially my life.
