The equivalent of the N.A. standard would be 230 x 297 mm. The Golden Rectangle would be even more extreme, at 184 x 297 mm. I don't mind the size too much because it's similar to what my camera produces.Heather Dubreuilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13626475036351705686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782529108660000163.post-30828141011660271102013-12-01T15:28:35.890+00:002013-12-01T15:28:35.890+00:00I love how the quilting invigorates the dance.

It's the feeling of movement that comes out of the piece most strongly. I agree that the size is tricky to work with, I find I preferred our square pieces, but I think that is mainly my in-built desire to be symmetrical.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11554689127653109236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782529108660000163.post-7988348031103342142013-12-01T03:38:13.493+00:002013-12-01T03:38:13.493+00:00These ribbons twirl around the spheres so effortle...These ribbons twirl around the spheres so effortlessly!

This probably will take time for me to get used to but it is not a negative, as I have said before, challenges are to be met in order for us to grow as textile artists as we can't always do what we want, and that is good and pushes us to achieve. So here is to the next challenge - I am really looking forward to it and have to say that I love the next colour and although have not got a clue what I am going to do but am excited!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782529108660000163.post-63971694833585613642013-11-30T12:58:18.133+00:002013-11-30T12:58:18.133+00:00Your ribbon is so well done it almost jumps off th...Your ribbon is so well done it almost jumps off the page.
