Today several of us got together at Heather's to discuss work we'd done, and techniques for applying photos and images onto fabric. Citrasolv, contact paper, gel medium were used and varieties of photocopies, and magazine images - some with less success than others! But it all adds to the wealth of knowledge in our heads, that will hopefully pop out at the right time when we need inspiration.
Heather lent me the book Intuitive Color and Design by Jean Wells. The foreword written by her friend Betsy Rickles sums up how I feel about our 12 by the dozen group, my art group, and specially my Tri This friendship with Rosie and Hilary. Sorry if this is sounding maudlin!! But here's the quote from the foreword:
"My aunt Alice once told me that the most cherished friendship is not only one in which you enjoy time spent together -talking, sharing, and laughing - but also one in which you inspire each other, challenge each other, and find that you are taking creative journeys within yourself thanks to the influence of the others. "
So thank you all.
