Inspiration
I want to make a wallhanging based on Cretan things so have downloaded a load of flower pics to try to find a way to represent them - my challenge to myself is that I don't want to mke a photographic representation, more an abstract feel !! That's my big problem.

I firmly believe that is developemnt within the textile world, the What if's and I wish i had done and how will this change when i do that. Its all part of the learning. I think we all feel like that after creating something. When i am making something its all very intense but once its finished i then start by saying if i had done this or that and that is how we learn. Anything you need and if i can get it i will be happy to get and send along. Love Chris
If i could do one course again it would the creative sketchbooks its brilliant and i enjoyed every minute of it. I am not into scrapbooking but i guess its similar in that you pretty up every page and you add embelishments by use of art. I am not an artist by any streach of the imagination but you don't need to be with that course just be prepared to play. I totally agree the online courses are outragously priced but if i can help in any way then please say, i love to share my knowledge with people and i also love to learn from others. I intend to keep a sketchbook with all the details of this fabric page book swap. if you ever want anything sending out to you let me know. Love Chris
i am very excited about our book page swap but I have not had a look at the list yet as I am so immersed on production of fiber arts for Christmas gifts!!!!
Best regards!
Elizabeth
