what's the point

What is the point of this blog? Why not just keep a journal, is it a sign of the Big Brother world where everything is on view? Am I more of an exhibitionist than I realised, do I take myself that seriously?
It is all a little scary really.
I think it will be a useful way to get myself in the habit of jotting down notes, give me a chance to practice being able to more clearly express myself in explaining what I am up to, hopefully give me some valuable feedback….who knows??????? I don’t know who I am talking to – if anyone- but it is definitely not the same as writing only for myself, seems more do-able some how.
This morning I sent two small pieces off to an exhibition in the States organized through contacts of Dijanne Cevaal
[ was going to show a photo but it won't uplaod again?????????]- next time


At the moment I am struggling between a desire to work rather large and the need to produce a number of small pieces for my Masters Degree exhibition. Seems I am a contrary type- need to go to one format and instantly want to do something different.
Work for the Masters has been a struggle but I am starting to daydream about them so I must be getting closer to the works themselves.

checking things out....

This is an email I am sending to the blogger and you should be able to read it.

My mind is boggling at all this- communication yet I don’t know who I am talking to.

I spend most of my time alone, talking to myself as I work- sometimes even answering myself!!?

I am always so surprised when students and others know what I have been up to- they have looked at my website.

I am so used to the old ways people communicate where you are aware that that are connecting to you.

I remember my great-grandmother, 93 at the time, talking of the invention of the telephone and though she had been using one for 50 years at the time still had a touch of that sense of wonder you could actually talk to some one a way away. I think I know something of her feeling now.

I’ll hit send and see what happens next…..

Let's see what happens this time......
Ha! got it, this is a detail of 'Lightbodies:floating' that is presently floating around in America in 'World Quilts on Tour', not the pic of my latest piece but something to start....

starting...

Well I have just set up this blog, I have been looking at a few other peoples and thought what a good idea.
It will get me into the habit of recording things, but now I sit in front of the blank blog it seems a little mind boggling!!
Uploading images takes for ever!
