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

Hello Fiona I am new on the site and slowly finding increasingly lovely stuff ! ie yours ! I love the muted palette (is that the phrase) all those sweetie colours beautiful !
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

hi Neki, thanks for your nice comment about the work on my blog. The drawing challenge isn't too demanding - it really is for anyone especially people who've don't draw a lot. Just a challenge to actually do it! you only post one a week although the idea is to draw every day.

Hi Fiona: love your stitchery and batiks especially: did a workshop once and discovered it's not as easy as it look - I was OK on the dyeing bit but controlling the tjanting was another matter!
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.
