The Textile and Fiber Art List
I'm proud to be a new member of this incredibly talented and vibrant community of artists who use fabric and fiber as their medium of choice. Rachel Biel the creator and organizer of this group works tirelessly to bring textile and fiber artists to the forefront. With over 300 members and growing, TAFA is proving itself to be a force to contend with. Here's just a small sampling of the incredible talent within its membership.

Gorgeous collection, Christine, thank you so much for featuring me
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful collecton! I love that tree of life quilt. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWonderful, Christine! Your enthusiasm has been an inspiration! Just a couple of clarifications: TAFA's membership is up to 308 members and about half of them have Etsy shops, so our Etsy team is made up of 150 or so cool shops. Those can be seen on our TAFA Team blog (the www.tafateam.blogspot.com).
ReplyDeleteIt's all very confusing right now as we are spread out all over the place. We have the etsy hub, one on facebook, another on linkedin and another on flickr. But, soon, it will all come together on our beautiful new site (preview the first draft at http://www.tafalist.com/p/new-site.html). We also set up a temporary market to give an idea what search results will look like on our new site: www.tafamarket.com.
One thing is for sure: TAFA is full of eye candy and will become one of THE destinations for anyone who likes fiber art or textiles. The members are wonderful, talented, savvy, and many have eco-agendas, using non-toxic dyes or organic yarns, recycling, etc. All very cool!
And, it's just wonderful to have YOU on board, Christine! Thanks for such a nice shout out about TAFA!
Good work! I'll be happy to see the day when textile artists routinely appear in the Tate alongside painters.
