some favourite quotes
Conditions for creativity are: to be puzzled, to concentrate, to accept conflict and tension, to be born everyday, to feel a sense of self
Erich Fromm
There is not one blade of grass, there is no colour in this world that is not intended to make us rejoice.
John Calvin
It’s all been said better before. If I thought I had to say it better than anybody else, I’d never start. Better or worse is immaterial. The thing is that it has to be said; by me; ontologically. We each have to say it, to say it our own way. Not of our own will, but as it comes out through us. Good or bad, great or little: that isn’t what human creation is about. It is that we have to try; to put it down in pigment, or words, or musical notations, or we die.
Madeleine L'Engle

Welcome to ichiban stitchi!
I hope you'll enjoy the group.
I am envious of your college studies - I am in Huddersfield where they have recently closed down all textile stuff below degree level. How are you finding OCA ?
cheers Helen
I have just realized that you did Textile Arts.net - A wonderful resource - I have had a link to it on my website for some time now
Best Wishes

thanks for stopping by my blog.
you have some pretty neat drawings and awesome French knots in yours.
Was thinking about joining the drawing challenge too. is it too demanding? i'm not a good drawer, i'm a better shelf :)

Thanks for your comment on my hand piece: it came at the right time as I thought the colours were too strong for me but have realised they're just not my usual colours.
thanks for posting the Dear Ada link.i really enjoyed it. Wonderful to see sound comments.
