I’m not a photographic purist. I just love taking photos. From the drips on a coffee cup to the textures in wood and beyond, I find it interesting. I know some of my friends look at me a little strange when I suddenly become pre-occupied in the midst of a conversation and I turn my head to capture just the right image…then out comes the camera.!!

What a way to go.
Going Home.
I have a huge project to complete and I need to be incredibly disciplined. I can’t create another quilt for an entire year which is frustrating. I have so many ideas in my head and the sketch book but I just can’t allow myself the luxury.
Cultural Red. – An exhibition of contemporary Fiber Art.
Friend Lisa and I attended an exhibition of contemporary Fibre Art at the Capitol Rotunda Art Gallery presented by The Studio Art Quilt Associates of New Mexico.
The design ideas are whizzing around my head – Santa Fe NM.
To the casual stroller of the streets, it’s a town of culture, its colorful and full of interest, each turn is carefully sculptured for both the visual delight and of course lets not be coy… they love to receive the contents of your pocket. I’ve never seen so many galleries in one place in my entire travels. There are over 300 galleries in this one small enclave.
Donkey Divas.
This is a blog about Donkey Divas,
Finally I can get back to writing my blog.
My friend Lisa and I are in Santa Fe, New Mexico for a rare 3 days of R&R. Its impossible not to be influenced by the color and ambience of this town. Its hot and almost mid summer, and I’m reminded that this time next week, it will be a little grey and very cold in my home town of Aldgate.
Santa Fe Folk Art Market – A photographic Essay
There are some amazing stories behind each piece of art produced and presented for us to buy or view. I share just a small amount with you today and more will follow over the next few days.
Alice Isabella is Sprung from Jail – a true story for quilters.
The Batting Babes squealed with delight and the excitement of the moment.
They made a big circle around him with their arms outstretched. In their hands they held their rotary cutters with its sharp blade just ready to pop out at the flick of a plastic click…
Now this is a very dangerous thing to do.
Children don’t have a Rotary, Gotary, Lotary license…. so remember ….No touching the rotary cutter until you are at least 40 years old and you can earn your license….
Photography to create art by – Southern New Mexico Festival of Quilts.
No, it’s not how to take a super photograph with all the bells and whistles, It’s a down to earth look at how to take an image and use it to create a piece of Textile art.
The next issue = Alice Isabella and the long arm of the law.
The Policeman looked down at his feet.
No doubt about it….. this was the pin culprit.
Alice shook in her black boots, her hair ‘winkling’ even more than before.
“Madam, do you know what damage you have done” he said in a ‘gruffly’ voice.?
Alice was too scared to answer. She just shook.
