Liz….mentioned in passing that she'd received this as a gift.   I googled and  ordered on impulse.  Am so glad i did.   

 

 

It's a Beauty FULL book.  BOOK.  with covers and paper pages of photographs amidst printed word.  I love so so much books.  Holding them.  turning the pages.  writing in the margins.  leaving  slips of notes to mark a thought.  Books.  That Roof Bag is turning out to be full of Books.

and this one…so thoughtfully presenting her work and the work of others to  Show us things.   Show us ideas.   and i love that her work is a Celebration of the materials ThemSelves…a celebration of the pleasure in Partnering with them…..it feels so familiar to me…so similar to my felt/sense.   So much to Imagine.   I  very probably won't do a lot of it,  but  just looking through the images on page,  there is a transfer of Energy.   Her cloth,  paper, string, thread , organic matter, metal,  pencil, paint, found objects all speak.   and my own imagination joins them.

    Oh my goodness, yes this is a BOOK – and you have it – you have it with all of its energy! Good on you! I’ve seen this book ~ a friend does what she calls “Improv Quilting & Stitching”, and showed me her well-loved book! She also has this book by same author: Sketchbook Explorations for Mixed Media and Textile Artists”. https://bit.ly/3ITNLA7. I love “knowing” how,with what, and seeing how other folks “do things” even if I don’t do the same type of work, there is always something new, useful, inspiring! bless all who gather here.

    yes…a good intuition. There’s so much and it
    speaks to my thing of diorama which i just love in my mind, and imagination…maybe never needing to become real
