Gayle Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 The sad news of the passing of two talented miniaturists, I've been wondering about Joann Swanson. After she left Nutshell News, she started a blog but it's been idle since 2014. Has anyone heard from her? Is she ill or has she just stopped working on miniatures or something else ?

havanaholly Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 That is an excellent question. I always read her articles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsbeth Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Like you said - I cannot find anything after 2014 from her online. But I also cannot find anything saying she died...so I am hoping for the best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid-life madness Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Did you see where another blogger indexed Joann's original blog to make it easier to find her tutorials? http://theperipateticminiaturist.blogspot.com/2011/07/joannswanson-diy-miniatures-index.html I wonder if she knows something? It is weird for another person to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gayle Posted February 3, 2018 Author Share Posted February 3, 2018 Spokane sounds right but I can't be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EllenC Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I think this link to Facebook is Joanne Swanson, she doesn't seem to include the name Swanson any longer, her email name is Joanne Hallmark, but I've been assuming this was her, hope so. https://www.facebook.com/joannesminis/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsbeth Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I think she is/was Joann L Swanson and not Joanne Swanson, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyckedWood Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I really don't think that's the same person. The one who's active posting YouTube videos (Facebook link above) is not the same person who wrote for nutshell news and had the older blog. She (youtube, active Joanne) uses a graphic similar to the older Joann with the woman sitting working on minis holding a paintbrush...not sure the motives there.

Elsbeth Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Well, I still see a ceasing of activity in 2014. I hope she's around - some folks move to instagram and other mediums, but I am intentionally unplugged from most of that. Oh well! I'll keep an eye out for her. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
