Ages ago I picked up a second hand book - Inspired to Stitch The Creative Embroidery Course by Wendy Lees. I have made a resolution to work through the exercises and will set aside a couple of hours x 2 to play with the exercises ... my posts will be a way to make me accountable.
Another book I want to play and have fun with is Collage Techniques A Guide for Artists and Illustrators by Gerald Brommer. Part 1 is called Exploration: Attitudes, Material; and Techniques. I am really looking forward to getting into paper and paste :-)
and I am going to teach myself to use my camera properly!

fractals
These images are from an interesting website WebEcoist. Click here to be diverted to their site for more amazing images.
I find the spirals and curves in shells entrancing. Find I embroider spirals a lot and will keep playing with them - hopefully the penny will drop one day and a work will grow out of my play!
