We are burning down the house in June.
We thank all of you for following our blog, making comments, and sharing your knowledge with us. We have loved our time blogging due to your participation and everyone has been enriched by your sharing. But, the time has come and we are going to burn down the house. June will be the last month with new posts.A Little History of the Blog
We have asked all our past Guest and Resident Artists if they would like to have a final post to let you know what they are up to now and to say a final goodbye. Please, tell us what you are up to now and feel free to tell us goodbye and let us know some of your favorite posts. As always, we would love to hear from you.
We will leave the blog up for future reference. I don't know about you but I often go back to review a technique I haven't used for a bit. You are welcome to do the same. Thank you again for making this blog such a success.
Judith and Beth
Sorry to hear this; I've enjoyed the various topics over the past few years...but 'to everything there is a season', eh? And I appreciate your leaving the blog in place for future reference! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWow! The end of an era! I have enjoyed and been inspired by all the wonderful artists who have shared their ideas and expertise here but I can imagine how much work goes into each month of blogging. Thank you to every single artist who has taken time out to share their work here and thank you too for allowing the blog to stay as a reference, the information is invaluable, especially to people beginning their surface design journeys as I was when I found the blog.
ReplyDeleteSorry to see this go, and not to have beeb re-invited.. Perhaps you should take down the Calendar on the right>>>?
ReplyDeleteHow I will miss reading the posts and mulling over the techniques and ideas from all the artists who have contributed. Thank you
ReplyDeleteAnyone know of any similar and informative blog or website
Check out the blogs of some of the resident artists. Some will be leaving updates and comments during June with links to their own blogs and websites.
Deletethanks Beth
DeleteI have enjoyed and learned so much, I deeply appreciate all the effort token in this Fireblog by the moderators, the artists and the visitors! Thanks for keeping the blog online, so much to find, so much still to learn.

ReplyDeleteThank you to all the artists and bloggers for their useful and fun tips and techniques. I have always loved the blog's title--such a wild and whimsical but accurate description of the group's efforts! Like the others, I am grateful for all your experiments and advice as well as for leaving the blog up so that we can continue to learn. Good luck to all of you in the future!
ReplyDeleteI am so sad to se the end of such a wonderful blog with so much info and help. I do appreciate all that I have learned here thru the years. The time and effort is extraordinary and just can't be replaced.
ReplyDeleteI want to thank all who have been involved and shared their knowledge with us. I will truly miss this and so looked forward each month to see what technique would be the topic.
Thanks you.

ReplyDeleteThank you very much, I learned so much from this blog. I have recommend many people to read this blog.
ReplyDeleteThis IS sad news. I didn't find the blog until quite a while after it started. I went back and read every post. It has been fantastic fun and will continue to be a resource for all of us. Thank you all for your efforts over the years.
ReplyDeletehas there ever been a series on linocut stamping to make prints on fabric?
ReplyDeleteWhat if one of the subscribers has an adea they'd like to share, is the door to that option totally closed? I have valued and enjoyed and referenced the body of information shared to this venue, but I have had the feeling that the contributor pool was selective and restrictive and there was no opportunity to consider anyone outside the familiar group.
We asked each year for people who would like to be contributors to the blog. We did get a few takers but basically Judith and I searched other blogs looking for artists to invite. The "limited pool" were those who always said yes when asked.

ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry you're ending this blog but I do understand. Happily you'll leave it available, hopefully long enough for us to all go back and save those "episodes" that we most need.
ReplyDeleteI, too, am so sorry to see the end of this wonderful blog, but am thankful that the posts will remain for reference. I now follow the blogs of a number of the featured artists. Thank you all for sharing your talents and creativity with us.
ReplyDeleteYes, I have referenced this blog quite often. I was happily asked to do a week post years ago and enjoyed doing so. Will miss learning new techniques or tips on old techniques. Thanks so much for all the hard work keeping this reference site for us to learn from!
ReplyDeleteYour blog has been the first link on my blog and I have recommended it to so many people. I am sorry to see it go, but do understand. 😔
ReplyDeleteI too will miss the blog... it has been a source of inspiration for many years. Of course we wish you all well...and will keep coming back for the archives.... but will miss the ' new stuff'.
ReplyDeleteAs a relative newcomer, I am sad to see this go. Thanks to all the writers who have shared their knowledge so generously! I hope the blog will still stay up as a reference.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
