There is no changing of anything. Your art & life are a continuum, a flowing of your voice, your spirit. Like all currents there's the warm & the cool streams--one sinks, one rises only to cool& warm & intermingle. Then, to keep pushing the Zen metaphor, there's the rocks & boulders with a little bubbling or a lot of white water. And to push the metaphor too far... draw from your deep waters and swiftly moving currents...but this is just too too sappy!Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16150537522816487691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-1158262403289965672006-09-14T15:33:00.000-04:002006-09-14T15:33:00.000-04:00And I wish I could think of something pithy and Ze...And I wish I could think of something pithy and Zen-like...maybe something like: it's not a change of attitude you need.

I have also become very lazy because of my camera, I rarely sketch these days.<BR/>I enjoy your blog so much and as an ex machine knitter I have loads of yarn of various thicknesses, so I think I will be joining you in creating those lovely colourful mitred squares.Digitalgranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18213778111516418003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-1158252911763072302006-09-14T12:55:00.000-04:002006-09-14T12:55:00.000-04:00Deb, I did that very thing back in my undergrad dr...Deb, I did that very thing back in my undergrad drawing class. I had heavy thread in the bobbin and the back was even better than the front, except the back had interfacing on it to make the whole thing stiff enough to negate using a hoop.<BR/>You brought back a good memory.<BR/><BR/>And as for the 'what ifs', a person like me thinks out loud, and I just wanted to share my thoughts. I have not always voiced my conclusions.Melody Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08644269589363519294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-1158251078507172802006-09-14T12:24:00.000-04:002006-09-14T12:24:00.000-04:00I remember a long long time ago when someone in th...I remember a long long time ago when someone in the Artful Quilters Blogring took her sewing machine to her drawing class and did a "sketch" of the nude model with her free motion foot.
