Please answer in full as if I think you are a spammer I do not approve membership. What aspect of textiles are you interested in?: I create art textiles inspired by the natural world and I enjoy exploring ways of interpreting sketches directly onto fabric. Besides printing paintings and photos onto fabric using the computer, I am constructing densely quilted pieces overpainted with acrylic paint. Ethnic textiles are a passion - I have a collection of kasuri, ikats, kanthas , kuba cloth etc and I've started incorporating scraps of these into my work. Currently I am experimenting with layering printed silk organzas

I've also visited your blog since the Studio Journal class and it, too, is a pleasure to read. I did chuckle that you like Great Big Sea--they are hometown boys for me. Good choice.

I haven't given up on the blog. I just have too much going on at once and have been procrastinating in giving it the attention it needs. Once the ball gets rolling it will be easier to keep it up.

Margaret, we not only share a first name, but also an interest in ethnic textiles. I find them gloriously inspiring.
