Hope to have a new post later today. The residency is going to be wonderful I know....do you have such things in Australia? I hope you are now in the midst of making more beautiful pieces!Missouri Bend Paper Workshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18153989891514458384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6919562061299505596.post-24677453547635551412011-09-26T05:58:08.356-05:002011-09-26T05:58:08.356-05:00P - the maps appear to have your stone theme appea...P - the maps appear to have your stone theme appearing in them - points on the journey.

Such good things came from that, and I expect even more from this. Maps are a wonderful object and metaphor. I like to think our lives are maps in progress, with all the territories and byways always open to additions or revisions! All the best to you - have a great weekend!Gisizeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08842508709852026701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6919562061299505596.post-10730659938593079602011-09-23T08:15:20.964-05:002011-09-23T08:15:20.964-05:00Oh Patti, I can almost feel your excitement- a gre...Oh Patti, I can almost feel your excitement- a great vicarious thrill. Can't tell you how much I love your new map concept and the photos DO do it justice as I love the elements of folding and the textural elements you've used.

Fabulous! I'm also thrilled for you re the residency; a wonderful opportunity to stop again; reinforce your learnings and explore new ways of being and make new art! Sigh - sounds gorgeous.
