It seems that art is equated to artsy looking products that look good in ads and online. Their time is taken up learning how to use the medium, searching out the latest fabrics etc - rather than learning the elements of design -- then they're disappointed that their work isn't looking quite right. That's why I think your book is so needed. Something needs to combat all those shiny magazines ads!!Nina Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14316034317827146338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-40622802048343943762013-03-14T06:34:33.881-07:002013-03-14T06:34:33.881-07:00And if anyone comes across anything very interesti...And if anyone comes across anything very interesting on this topic - please let me know!Elizabeth Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928615247903165719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-2029727164645012742013-03-13T17:24:15.640-07:002013-03-13T17:24:15.640-07:00I'm going to inter-library loan both of these....I'm going to inter-library loan both of these.
