I love India, felt, eco dyes, white tones, earth tones (I'm torn as to whether to 'let' you dye the piece or not!) and I love the confessions you make about how we waste so much energy on things. <BR/><BR/>I used to be like that, worrying and hating so much about the modern world, and in my good intentions to always do the green thing, I ended up missing out on alot, sabotaging my artwork and on some days not even leaving the house from the depression of it all! These days I am much more relaxed- like you said, one bite at a time. <BR/><BR/>I totally agree about hand-sewing being an obsession! It's one I've recently passed on to my housemate, and now we both sit there like old maids, watching TV and sewing!<BR/><BR/>And one more thing- the rationalisation about being on drugs instead- I TOTALLY do this. I always used to think to myself when I flop into bed at 5am totally exhausted from art...'well, at least I'm not on drugs'. :)Penelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00552220520085713818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146638412348253734.post-72501948979884330492008-09-25T08:26:00.000-07:002008-09-25T08:26:00.000-07:00So much to comment on.

I love your blanket, the colour and the assymetrical design; the pebble vessels are wonderful, and I agree about India's stature..even in the first picture.<BR/>Stay well and blooming.<BR/>xJackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12998628507844056717noreply@blogger.com
