Happy birthday, TAFA!

February 1, 2011 by Denise Felton 2 Comments

The Textile and Fiber Art List, founded by Rachel Biel, has reached an important milestone: its first anniversary. How is Rachel celebrating? By making big plans for year two. She says,

2012 promises to be a year of big changes!  Watch as we continue to grow and mature into a true organization.  The biggest project in the immediate future will be to fundraise for a new website with a powerful search engine and the ability to showcase the incredible talent harnessed within this group.

Visit Rachel’s blog post to enjoy the anniversary video featuring work by many of the TAFA artists. And why not comment congratulations while you’re there!

    Denise! Thanks so much for spreading the news! As ever, your support and interest are deeply appreciated.

    One of the things that might interest those of you who have graphic design skills: We’re having a competition for a new logo! Prizes include a $200 gift certificate from my Etsy shop (www.rayela.etsy.com), $100 gift certificate from TAFA member, Ariane Mariane, in her Etsy shop (www.arianemariane.etsy.com), and a two year ad on the new site. The winner will also be included on the About Us page for as long as we use the logo.

    Sign up for our emails using the MonkeyChimp box on the sidebar so that you learn more about the details as we move forward: http://www.tafalist.com.

    And, if you are involved in the textile arts, consider membership. See our brand new video on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2v4kfICfEB4

    It’s all very exciting!
