Dear fellow creators,

I have been rather quiet, for which I am sorry, but there have been a few other demands. I have however been keenly appreciating all the posts and joyfully seeing each ones piece as it has arrived.

I have once again a WOW reaction. 

Fran, what a gorgeous combination of colours and textures and I so enjoy the ‘outside the box’ interpretation you have given both your pieces. I find it invites me to think laterally and I so enjoy that. Thank you.

Claire, such a bright, warm piece, totally reflecting your focus on the warmth of friendship. I love its sturdiness and yet its flexibility, qualities so important in long lasting friendships.

Denise, not only did you give us a brilliant inspirational image you then create such a delicate looking piece yet so strong in what it says. I see hours of patient work and imagine you totally emersed in its creation and enjoying it. I am touched by the energy it holds.

Stephanie, talking of energy, what energy your piece holds! It shows such a strong and powerful image, so full of emotion that it creates a visceral response in me. Thank you for showing such brilliant technique in portraying such richness of life in such an open manner.

And my piece is not finished! I’m afraid I won’t have it done by Sunday, but I will send you photos of the work so far and hope to finish it before too long. Life sometimes has other plans!

And Lydie, I look forward to seeing your piece too. This is a most stimulating and enjoyable group. Sending the warmth of friendship to you all,

Ana
