It's all part of a series (with a few exceptions for particular subjects for particular reasons) but mostly it's of a piece. I don't think that fits most definitions of either a series or a theme, closest to theme, I suppose. Interesting to ponder.<br /><br />But what I think is important is to see with a new eye, a different point of view. Great fun to ponder, thank you!Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04730298448632087144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-53378808138486587952012-08-24T03:55:52.829-07:002012-08-24T03:55:52.829-07:00Fascinating cogitations, Elizabeth. I have been wo...Fascinating cogitations, Elizabeth. I have been working a "theme/series" that I first called "Seed Play" and would now call "Fruits of Life". I could keep going endlessly because of the fascination of the theme to me. But I have not pushed the "series" approach of different methodologies in my approach. Hmmm. Now I need to cogitate on that.

I see value in both approaches simultaneously; working within a theme provides ideas and inspirations that help with deeper exploration.<br /><br />gatheredthreadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10967361594760706843noreply@blogger.com
