The Harwood Steiger Book Project blog is a stream of consciousness about the development of a book on Steiger's silk screened textiles. This blog represents the process of documenting the hundreds of silk screen designs produced by Steiger and his wife, Sophie, over a 40 year period in Tubac, Arizona, where they had a studio and helped to make the community of Tubac a place where Art Meets History. This is only a small part of what I have learned about the man and his work.

Mining the Internet for New Steiger Gems
I'm a lot like you. I troll the internet looking for ever more Harwood Steiger gems and I've come up with a few you might enjoy. Etsy, the site for hand crafted items, has revealed some very charming creations utilizing Harwood Steiger fabrics. One, which I found particularly appealing is this little girl's dress made using Mesquite and Palo Verde. It is soooo sweet. If there was a special little girl in my life I would definitely spring for it. Unfortunately, I have absolutely no excuse to buy it. But, you might!
For those older girls who might really like a special Victorian style dress, there's this one. It's made with what I know to be dress panels. It's amazing how inventive and creative some people are. It looks to be well made and the addition of wide black lace is lovely. Too bad I'm no longer that tiny size. I'd wear it!
Visit Etsy.com and search Harwood Steiger to see these gems (and maybe even buy them!).
