In a comment to a previous post, Artful blogging:  visually inspiring online journals, Melinda asked where did I think blogging was going.  I think Melinda has answered it herself.  In her blog, Inspiraculum, she has two recent postings that have really caught my eye.  In one, Eloquent River, Melinda shows her process of creating a mixed-media fiber art piece that includes painting, poetry, and quilting.  In the second one, Last Snowfall, Melinda has a video that includes the image, a haiku, and a soundtrack that is the sound of the river in the video.  It is beautiful!  To me, this is the best of blogging in the art forum or any forum.  It is the sharing of the process and the end-product, it is the exploration of ideas and the final written piece.  It is creation and it is publication.  I love it!
