Year of the Snake? Pish tosh! I'm calling it - it's Year of The Feather!

Okay, seriously, this is about my sketchbook and about my next piece.



So, some people have sketchbooks that are works of art in themselves (see also "journals").

It's not my way.  When I "see" the piece in my mind's eye, all I need are my notes to guide me to its completion. I have 8 x 10 notebooks in which I scribble those notes, with my rough (very rough sketches). Sometimes I'll colour them, most often not.

The piece I'm working on right now has had many incarnations - this was extremely unusual and troubling development for me.

There's voting at the Bloggers' Quilt Festival and "Hiraeth" is up.  Have a look at the rest of the pieces in the category, and if you think mine deserves to win - please vote for me. :)
