I feel a warmth towards, and a distance from, my characters. Maybe that is why I am working through story - not quite so bearing of self. Or is it? I am very involved with my characters, with the story. I guess for sure they reflect aspects of me. At the moment I am seeing the whole design process as a reflection of myself.This is so exciting and so cool Grace. It feels positive - that only good can come of this journey.<br /><br />Hi Nandas - good to hear from you. Your encouragement is balm. Going to your blog now.xxStoryclothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00622702492075455318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905879541316023509.post-63385042361116438592010-08-21T08:33:43.502-07:002010-08-21T08:33:43.502-07:00well i am happy happy happy to see the camaraderie...well i am happy happy happy to see the camaraderie you two have found! gilly, you have a gift of telling mythic stories with a sweetness that is a pleasure to see unfold! and grace has the ability to tell of her life through her land with rich symbolism.... you two make a great pair and i look forward to your exchanges. thanks...nandashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12679913146205462190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905879541316023509.post-49251609959403175632010-08-20T18:33:19.515-07:002010-08-20T18:33:19.515-07:00Gillian...this is interesting.

This book, by Janet Bolton, has helped me so much today. You will see - she is very explicit and answers questions I wasn't sure how to ask. She also runs through some exercises and I think I may MAKE myself follow one. It would be a discplined time well worth it I think. Just looking at her work calms me, and she talks a lot about that. Sort of book that will become wonderfully dog-eared.

I just ordered it from Amazon along with India Flint's Eco-Colour. I related to the quote you referenced--the temptation to put all the possibilities in one picture.
