HOW FAR WOULD you go for a sister? In a masterful stroke of synchronicity, that’s the question popping up every where in my life this week, from my guilty pleasure entertainment to my ongoing workshop in wholehearted living. Need a good test for the sister in your life? Read on. [click to continue…]

ONE WEEK IN, I’m feeling pretty fine. And maybe that’s because, just like last year, I’m refusing to buy into the pressure cooker of resolutions. But that’s not to say I’m not gearing up for some hopefully-heady changes. [click to continue…]

A work from Karen Arp-Sandel's collaborative art project, FE-MAIL
LATE LAST YEAR, in the throes of a long and somewhat dark winter, I wrote about my new year’s revolutions. Allowing myself to make art was one of the key changes I made last year, and I owe it to my amazing teacher and gifted artist Karen Arp-Sandel. Amid reawakening my creative spark and her own myriad projects, Karen was kind enough to work with me on a profile of her and her art for TSP. Read the results here, and let me know how your creative endeavors are going. Me? Inspired by Karen and her current collaborator, Suzi Banks Baum, I’m tackling a round of mail art. Watch your mailboxes, sisters.

COLLAGE ARTIST EXTRAORDINAIRE Claudine Hellmuth is one of our favorite TSP Gallery profilees. I have a special affection for her and her lovely work because of my own amateur attempts at collage art. So I was extra-excited when I learned that Claudine has been touring around the country offering workshops teaching her techniques of beeswax collage, and promoting her new instructional DVD (which, yes, I have on order.) Check out our profile of Claudine Hellmuth, and be sure to let us know what artistic adventures you’re embarking on to beat the February blues.

IAM NOT MUCH for New Year’s resolutions. They mostly just make me feel like a slacker by the time March rolls around, one more thing for me to beat myself up for not doing well enough. (And don’t we all have enough of those already?) This year, instead of chaining myself in the guilt of unkept resolutions, I’ve decided to take a more, uh, aggressive approach. [click to continue…]

MY SINGLETON BEGINNINGS: Big surprise, I am the (only) child on the left.
First time here? Here's the idea: The Sister Project is a network of blogs about the many facets of the word sister, and the concept of sisterhood. A sisterhood of sister blogs, you could say. Whatever sister means to you, from identical twin to sister-in-law (or in friendship or in feminism), we’ll make room to listen in about it or express it on TSP. Like the slogan up top on our homepage says, “Don’t you have something to say to your sister?” We've got galleries of art and literature by and about sisters, and a Sisterpedia of sisterly trivia...but now we're getting ahead of ourselves. The quick study: Learn more about TSP, and how to find your way around. And oh—a giant, sisterly welcome.
