Seth Apter’s first book, The Pulse of Mixed Media, is now on the shelves everywhere, and Seth has set up a fabulous variety of events—both live and online—for people to meet and talk about the results of the surveys he did for the book. He’s becoming the roving ambassador for the mixed-media community, and in this podcast we talk about some of those events, particularly his recent Twitter party, which sparks all kinds of ideas for meeting like-minded people to talk about art.

Podcast: Melanie Testa & Altering Clothes

Testa_150

Melanie Testa is on fire with her wardrobe, altering everything and making blouses out of vintage linens and when we recorded this podcast, she was preparing to start a series of blog posts for CreateMixedMedia.com about surface design on garments. And I couldn’t wait for this because it’s really rare to find someone who’s excited to talk to about altering clothing. I love that Melly is loving this, and we have fun here starting the conversation. She’s going to be hosting a sew-along on her blog at melanietesta.com starting in April, and you can read her columns at CreateMixedMedia.com that began on April 17th.
