The Week Links: saying goodbye

For the last 127 weeks, I have shared 7 of my favorite online finds every Sunday in The Week Links.

Doing the math, that is 889 links. Have you seen them all? If not, you can find them all be here.

Feeling the need to scratch a different itch, the time has come to lower the lights on The Week Links. And while they say that all good things must come to an end, I would rather say when one door closes, another door opens.

Stay tuned for a new online series early next year that I hope will be as inspiring as The Week Links has been. Thanks to all the artists who generously allowed me to share their work and all of you who visited me every Sunday, clicked links, and/or left comments.

To close, as hard as it was to do, I have picked some favorites among my favorite favorites from the last 2+ years to share with you one more time.

The Week Links: 127

Join me every Sunday when I share some of my favorite links I discovered in the previous week. Earlier posts in the series can be found here.

And here is Week 127...

1. Victoria Manganiello spins, dyes and weaves magical abstracts. First seen here.

2. These bundles from Christi Carter bring me bundles of joy.

3. I love the work of Paul Balmer, both the abstracts...

...and the cityscapes

4. Love the work from Carl Palazzolo on exhibit at Lennon, Weinberg, Inc. in NYC (full post on this and other NYC shows coming soon).

5. Love the colors and textures in this piece from Mary Thoma.

6. Old masters emoji from Molly Young and Teddy Blanks. Who knew??

7. Flashback link 2015: The Faces of New York.

The Week Links: 126

Join me every Sunday when I share some of my favorite links I discovered in the previous week. Earlier posts in the series can be found here.

And here is Week 126...

1. This video of Japanese craftsmen making handmade paper is mesmerizing and very meditative.

2. And speaking of meditative and mesmerizing, watch this video of the making of Vertical Emptiness, Onishi Yasuaki's 2013 installation at the Kyoto Center. You will not believe what it is made of.

3. And speaking of unexpected materials, carved stone suspended on burlap from Eduardo Terranova. 

4. Rae Missigman shares her journal pages, her "timer technique" and a video of her process in this guest post on Julie Fei-Fan Balzer's blog.

5. The African Bricks: I find these colorful, mosaic artworks by Charis Tsevis very compelling.

6. Have always loved the collages and combines from Robert Rauschenberg but also excited to have come across an artwork from him that is unexpected...

...and a fascinating article about Rauschenberg, an artist who worked to "crack the secret language of junk."

7. Flashback link 2015: Venice on My Mind. The making of a journal page...
