October 6, 2007
Special closeout pricing will be in effect. I have many beautiful buttons set aside for this event. For those of you who have been emailing me requesting orders at this time, I regret I cannot fill orders as all the buttons have been packed for transport to the show. In addition, the complete range of my new shibori work will be available . I will also be introducing a line of fine arts and crafts films from Studio Galli Films. I will have the first copies of the new film Arimatsu Narumi Shibori by Studio Galli for sale. This DVD, filmed in the towns of Arimatsu and Narumi, Japan is translated and narated by Yoshiko Wada, herself an international expert on the art of shibori, and offers never seen before footage of this Japanese traditional craft. I will also be giving a Make & Take workshop on handmade ribbon
flower making using my shibori silk ribbon. So, in conclusion, I look forward to seeing lots of old friends and customers in Houston and celebrating the great creative energy that is always present at Houston Quilt Festival. See you there!
February 18, 2007 I decided I needed to give all of you an update on the progress of Shiborigirl Studios and the remaining button stock. I am officially NOT MAKING any new buttons. I do, however, have an inventory of many designs remaining. If you are interested in purchasing any, send me an email with your needs and we'll see what I can ship to you. Many customers have been happy receiving mixed assortments. If I get in the mood to paint porcelain again, I'll let you know! For now however, I am really enjoying the creation process involved in my new line of shibori silk textiles. As many of you know, putting together a new business involves alot of organization and energy and in between all the design and creation work, I have been attending to those details. I will be exhibiting my new work for the first time at the upcoming ACRE show in Las Vegas. This is a juried show of fine crafts handmade in the US and Canada. Having been in the gift and quilt markets for the past 27 years, this fine craft market offers new opportunities for me and a whole new market to explore. I have also been accepted into the Houston Quilt Festival in November where I will preview a selection of art textiles for quilters and fiber artists. So in the meantime, check out the Shiborigirl blog ! Kind regards, Glennis
August 2, 2006 I want to thank all of you who have been my customers over the past 25 years which has allowed me to pursue what I love to do and support my two sons (now 16 & 17!) in the process. I have always believed that as an artist/entrepreneur I need to reinvent myself every 5-10 years to reflect the changes in the market, my personal lifestyle, and the world at large. That time is here again. While I will still be making porcelain buttons on a limited basis, I will also be devoting myself to another art form that has fascinated me for some time. A recent trip to Japan this past summer rekindled an interest in shibori and I invite you to visit my blog and follow the progress. Please feel free to comment, ask questions, or just lurk anonymously! For those of you who don't know, I have also been involved in another project this past year and a half- managing and designing for Cook's Collection Mannequins. If you have seen us at the trade shows, you know how beautiful and whimsical these mannequins are. You can purchase the mannequins both wholesale and retail through the web site. So, thank you again, enjoy the links, and email me when it's time to re-order buttons! Kind Regards, Glennis
