I am not writing about fabric collage today because I have some sewing projects with deadlines that are looming over me and I cannot do what I would rather do. That does allow me to take a step back from pieces I am working on in fabric collage, though. I find that is a good thing. Taking time to stop a piece of artwork and get some distance from it often gives me a fresh perspective and attitude and helps me to improve the piece when I return to it.

Spring Break
This week is Spring Break week for lots of schools in our area. Weather is finally warming up a little here in Michigan. Crocuses (shouldn't it be croci?)are peeping through the leafy brown earth. What a joy to see them !! Nature is a common inspiration for artists . It isn't any wonder. Nature is dazzling this time of year ...not so much for the color , yet, but for the metamorphosis below and above ground that seems to excite all of nature. It spurs the imagination .
