    Eek - I know that sinking, wrecking feeling. Sometimes a quilt comes good in the end. Sometimes it just stays, well, wrecked. Mostly it is still a valuable learning experience but sometimes it represents a waste of energy that should be let go. Welcome to a creative life - the good, the bad and the ugly.

    i have this feeling that one day i will just wake up and not remember to blog, ever..... your work is really unique. i like the hard but oh so fine lines against your blended soft edge color fields. and liking the one that "isn't really anything"

    I think it was an incorrect thread choice that has done it. I'm sure I can salvage something from it, but it may have to marinate for a while before I get back to it.

    Blogging is in a wierd place in my life, sometimes it is really important, othertimes it is a very minor periphery and I wonder why I do it. I enjoy sharing and connecting with artists and textile practitioners, so at this stage I'm keen to continue. And thanks for the comment about the 'isn't really anything' piece, I hesitated to post it, but I liked it, so why not.

    Hi Claire, I haven't been reading for a while due to all the moving (and lack of internet) but it has been nice to catch up on all of your projects. I really like the lizard lino you recently posted. I like the way no one layer stands out and the images blend together giving it a dimensional affect. You'll have to let me know the next time you plan to come to Melbourne so we can catch up - you're welcome to stay with us anytime. We've got a heap of family visting in May early June but perhaps after that we will come and visit you. It will be nice to see your creations in real life. Well better go cause am at work :)

    I love the lizard print/glove drawing - it works beautifully as a piece of art - and that it had its beginnings as something real and you have transformed it to have its own life - it is really good !

    Hi Carol :-) Yes we will have to catch up soon. It looks likely that I will be working in melbourne for three weeks in June/July, so I imagine that there will be a couple of opportunities during that time :-) Cheers Claire

Phone posting

Let’s see how we go with the new technology 🙂 The phone isn’t so great for taking photos of small works especially since I’m used to a fancy DSLR, macro lens and photoshop. But…
