Now, I find that I am looking at things differently, and forming more concrete ideas - and I am not afraid to put them in a sketchbook any more, lol... in fact, I think I will participate in the challenge next year, as I have only been a follower this year!<br /><br />As for Dream, it is so beautiful - I have always been drawn to ammonites, and have them on jewelry as well as pictures in my home.. if only they could talk, and share what they have seen...Loraleihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03823345387896490753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060853558179424501.post-7958210780920527902011-10-24T17:02:36.760-04:002011-10-24T17:02:36.760-04:00Thank you for this post!

I make lots of mistakes and -- figuratively and literally -- stitch myself into corners some days. It is GREAT to get a reminder that making bad art is part of the journey to making good art. I know that the mistakes are sources of learning and the 'corners' become good exercises in problem-solving. Your reminder is very much appreciated.Linda Strowbridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07171163079927480162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060853558179424501.post-78212574810531100572011-10-23T18:13:51.389-04:002011-10-23T18:13:51.389-04:00OK...You got me.

I know I sure did!Lori Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01808703279193470654noreply@blogger.com
