'What you seek is seeking you'

Textile Artists :o)
Hi everyone :o)
I thought you'd love to see some wonderful work by amazing textile artists. I have a weakness for mixed media, especially when artists use fibers. Quite some time ago, I studied surface design, loved every minute. It's incredible what you can create using marbles/elastic/bands and a mix of other materials. Here goes: Arty Love
Roxanne Evans Stout.
Maggie Ayres
Rahola Drdul

Bonnie Scotland Trip - Part Two - Inchmahome Isle - Nun's Walk and Nun's Hill
Nun's Walk and Nun's Hill
Scottish Folklore
Inchmahome, a place of beauty and retirement— where Nature has richly displayed her varied charms— combined with the ever hallowed associations that are heard in every echo, that linger in every glen, that rest on the .heathery hillside, and are wafted back by every balmy breeze which floats around its shores — the Lake of Monteith, and the fairy islands that nestle on its bosom, stand alone in their glory.

Books I've read.
Books and Authors
