It is the one way I've found to add that spontanaety talked about in the previous post.Jean Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07556736186351572521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-39354042359059762072011-02-22T08:04:58.805-08:002011-02-22T08:04:58.805-08:00I love your post.

I too am working more on non-fiber fine art this year as well as translating lessons into plans" for future art quilts. I do watercolors, sketching and pen and ink.
