I don’t see any images on this posting either……. but it’s fine on your other blog.

I couldn’t see the image here, but then I saw it on the TIF challenge blog – I really like the strong lines and the clarity of this – definitely less is more. Elemental is a great name for it.

Comment on Play – a quarterly review! by Linda

Hi Christine

It’s hard to remember the ‘inner child’ isn’t it? As adults we carry so much guilt with us.
When people ask, rather judgementally I feel, about how much time I spend on the PC I liken it to TV viewing time which I don’t indulge in, and suddenly that’s OK. It’s recognised as an accepted adult activity!

If you are enjoying your TIF challenges then does it matter at what speed you progress?

I can really relate to your second and third points, VBG. I haven’t “been to business” as my Nanna called outside work for a few years now. Not by choice I might add, rather due to health issues. Anyway, I spend WAYYYYY too much time on the PC, but I do a lot of historic costume research and textile research there, so it’s not as if I’m playing computer games or such. I only stitch out of neccessity lately, for a class I’m taking or teaching, or a workshop. That’s very sad isn’t it? I’m doing the TIF challenge very slowly as a consequence, and feel very guilty. But when I do get the chance, I enjoy my stitching very much. I think my kid’s class has the right idea, they just get in and stitch without delay and sometimes the results are just outstanding ! I wish I still had that child-like enthusiasm, oh well. Blogging has it’s pros and cons, “forcing” me to produce something on a regular basis can’t be all bad.

Thanks for sharing,
Hooroo,
Christine

Nice interplay of the big solid shapes and the small-scale writing. Do you draw it on/space it out first? It looks to be very carefully and beautifully done!
