This weekend we went to TBEX 09 - Travel Blog Exchange's conference for travel bloggers and writers. Held in Chicago after BlogHer, it was attended by over 100 travel writers (many of whom we've featured here on Wandering Educators, and many more whom we WILL feature soon!). We learned a great deal from both the panels and from everyone we met.  It is inspiring and energizing to meet with your community, especially when our community (travel bloggers) are spread across the globe.

Stitch by Stitch; Traces I Made with Needle and Thread

an exhibit at the Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum

Saturday, July 18-Sunday, September 27, 2009

The word “Stitch” in the exhibition title refers to the act of working in needle and thread. What does “stitches” mean to you?

For many, what “stitches” calls to mind is handicrafts, needle art, or perhaps traditional embroidery or embroidery found on ethnic clothing. The work included in this exhibition will very likely confound those expectations.
