My process is not so interesting to look at, but I shall post something today.<BR/>Do you ever get the urge to reach out and do stuff with other bloggers' what-if pictures? I was so pleased that you put black up with your first lot, because that was exactly what I wanted to do! I'm a great fan of black.Olga Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10554469124546960971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294353.post-1140671404947514712006-02-23T00:10:00.000-05:002006-02-23T00:10:00.000-05:00I love seeing your work and especially like when y...I love seeing your work and especially like when you provide and explanation of your thought processes and how you work towards the end piece. thank you RaynaMickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09919170073623767473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294353.post-1140663243361560642006-02-22T21:54:00.000-05:002006-02-22T21:54:00.000-05:00Ah ha!

No wonder I can't capture that same feeling. I don't dye or do anything until I've already got a plan, and by then it's not as exciting, so it slips away. Thanks for the info and the inspiration.<BR/>p.s. Can I come live in your studio for a week to learn it all?

I loved seeing the various versions you played with. It was fun and infomative.<BR/> 2) I, too, usually start with the fabric and PRAY that something evolves. Sometimes, a vague idea about shape is also present. However, vague ideas usually evolve so completely that the end result hardly seems as if a logical process was followed. Well, duh, don't guess it ever is a logical process for me.<BR/> 3) Taking the pictures of each possibility would be so helpful since I can rarely remember and separate ideas later.jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.com
