Since you're on alyson's tour and I'm on Alyson's tour (see my May 23 post), I decided to come visit. I love the idea of being influence by the 70s – I'm actually a 60s child (at least I was a teenager then), but you can bet I did my share of macrame – I had a table that was a bigger version of your birdcage – I had rope fiber in my house for months while I was working on that! And the comment on orange and brown made me laugh out loud. I hope you get rid of that old teacher's voice and just follow your red thread – I have a feeling something wonderful is going to happen!

Hi Tammy, welcome to the blog. I’m glad the post made you laugh. I enjoyed reading your book tour question with Alyson and I’ll be checking out the rest of your blog.

Hi Tina, thanks for the comment. Yeah, I’m glad to be working again at last. I have been drawing since the start of the year but nothing else. I enjoyed your podcast yesterday. Thanks for the tip about varnish, I’ll keep it in mind although I think I’m going to go with unsized fabric for the rest of the series – it feels like the right decision.

Oh, I’m excited to see you working again! (or rather, sharing your work with us) Funny, I just podcasted yesterday about drawing and how I include my pencil drawings, marker, collages, pastels, drypoint and even photography in that category. :)

A tip for the glossy finish – you could put down a quick thin layer of matte medium or matte varnish on the canvas to take away that glossy finish. A spray varnish would probably be easiest and wouldn’t add any discernable heaviness to the surface. Oh, and I like the idea of seeing the holes from so-called mistakes. I think that would be quite interesting actually.
