Wonderful artist's site. Google for other info.

Is it Muybridge or is it Watkins?

I had never heard of Carleton Watkins until I read a Hyperallergic post (I subscribe through Google Buzz) about Edweard Muybridge which led to a blog on the subject (what subject?) by Tyler Green. Green provides a link to the Watkins site and also to Calisphere at the University of California. To see Muybridges images at this site, you have to do a search on his name, since he isn't listed in the A-Z list.

Look at this site and see what else is there. Also check Wikipedia entries for Watkins and Muybridge.

Of online magazines and crocheted food

HandEye magazine's online site could use a little editing of links and especially of it's list of resources. The links are a bit inaccurate in places but many of them work and when they do, they lead to some really interesting sites.

For instance, after some skipping around the magazine site looking for good links, I found an article about Mata Ortiz pottery makers. There are two links, one with an hyperlink, and one without. The first one, to Andrea Fisher Fine Pottery, is to a wonderful gallery site. Not only do they show work from the Casas Grandes Pueblo, where the Mata Ortiz pottery is from; they also show "the best of Southwest Native American pottery". And they show it very well. There are lists by pueblo and by artist, and each piece can be magnified for a very close view. This is very expensive craft work and the gallery does an excellent job of exhibiting it online as it should be shown.

The second site, the one without a hyperlink so I had to cut and paste into my browser, is to l'aviva home. This web site is really quite nice although I didn't find anything about Pueblo pottery. I'm guessing that this is because the exhibits change and there is no archive. What I did find that I liked was the page on shyrdak, a method of felt-making done by the Kyrgyz people of Kyrgyzstan. Here I found a link back to an HandEye article about shyrdak rugs so now is a good time to get back to why I found HandEye magazine in the first place.

I subscribe to Surface Design Association's Facebook page. They recommended an HandEye article about making art cloth. I explored the magazine archives and found a piece about Kate Jenkins' crocheted food. I clicked the link at the bottom of the page, which was a bad link, by the way, and then I searched for the Rebecca Hossack Art Gallery in London, England, and found this wonderful exhibit with really good pictures of Kate Jenkins' crochet work.

So I think this is enough web-rambling for now.
