I'm sure we could all write a book and the publishers would think it was fiction!<BR/>I truly believe that my life that I've lived these nearly 52 years in - is how and why I make ART!<BR/>Its an interesting topic and I'm sure we all have our versions.<BR/>Would we have made ART anyway? If we would have had that perfect family?? Who knows? Probably only the creator (who ever that is in each of our religions) knows for sure.........<BR/>THANK YOU for making us all think about this!Dale Anne Potterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772240835643324423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-1140471820624413832006-02-20T16:43:00.000-05:002006-02-20T16:43:00.000-05:00Ah Melody we all have stuggles within our families...Ah Melody we all have stuggles within our families. I think that the tv/movie & psychology notions about what families "should" be has done a lot of image damage as we look and see our families don't look like those families at all. <BR/><BR/>I love the idea of a private blog for your family. What a perfect way to haved questions asked, and thoughtful replies constructed. Nice that your careful of your Mom too. Good for you!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-1140471682704436222006-02-20T16:41:00.000-05:002006-02-20T16:41:00.000-05:00I too often reflect about how my childhood was dif...I too often reflect about how my childhood was different from that of at least some of my siblings. I am the eldest of six children - sometimes I think I have a "big sister" sign flashing above my head. My youngest sister, another redhead, was born when I was at university and my parents separated the following year. I am pleased to say that my siblings (and me!) get along really well together and, despite living in six different places in three different countries, are closer than ever.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05117195205038571265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-1140463056371356042006-02-20T14:17:00.000-05:002006-02-20T14:17:00.000-05:00I read your blog and have been pondering this art ...I read your blog and have been pondering this art history thing for an hour or so. It dawned on me the fine art is often understood through an understanding of the artist and what whas/is going on in his or her life at the time particular works were created, but in the world of craft, it seems that the emphasis is more on the how and not the why. So what happens when art merges with craft? Even though the art quilt is an accepted form of art, I believe that the books about, or by, particular artists focus much more on the techniques than on the raison d'etre. So hurrah for you to once again break down percieved barriers! I'd love to know what makes you create what you do, and I'd love to delve deeper into what makes my other fiber arts heroines tick too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-1140453741291968302006-02-20T11:42:00.000-05:002006-02-20T11:42:00.000-05:00First, I have to say again - I am so happy with th...First, I have to say again - I am so happy with the look of your blog now. It matches you!! All organized and beautiful!! I am so lucky, I guess, to have grown up in a very stable family.

At times I am amazed I made it out alive. and I don't discuss it because then I'm doing "Oprah" and that's too bizarre.<BR/><BR/>I'm reading the "Accidental Masterpiece" and even paint by numbers is considered a type of art. Don't be too hard on yourself as you are making beautiful fiber art accessible to many thru your classes.Joanne Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01623855664379207620noreply@blogger.com
