PARTICIPATORY SPORT FOR CRAFT ARTISTS
Always inspired
True, many of us feel the same, inspiration is everywhere and at anytime. As a former graphic designer, drawing sketches was the proccess for me and I still like doing that today. But there is nothing like touching the materials! This is the real thing.. this is where imagination and intuition take over the brain... this is the glory itself!
I like 2 sayings by Albert Einstein - Imagination is more important then knowledge
and - Keep it simple!
This is my motto.

I also like to keep a small sketch booklet in my purse for ideas that pop up... so later I can connect to some of them.

First, I have 2 computers and Ive done bits and pieces on them both. Second, I cant seem to find a wifi hook up when I need it or when I have the draft I want to post. On top of that, there's been very little time away from the conference or visiting family for me to go onkine. Finally, when I was going to post this afternoon, the battery…See More
