ooh that sounds lovely. I love your sketchbook style too.
Hey, I followed the link to your site from Mien’s blog, drawn in by the name, lovefibre, with the first syllable stressed! It’s a lovely looking blog, like a piece of beautifully coloured tapestry.
Thought about what you wrote about people/artists we admire. It’s usually artists who’ve got something we (think we) don’t have, be it imagination, integrity, breadth of vision. When I’m not sure of myself I can get into a bit of a state just by looking at other artists’ blogs and seeing all that beautiful art and thinking I/my work don’t measure up. You saying that there is always also something you can’t admire is healthy. The next step up from admiration would be idolisation – wrong way to go.
Thanks for your nice comment on my blog, Fiona :o)
I was very moved by your thoughts on admiration. And I look forward to seing what comes out of your tendrils lead (what a great concept !).
With kind regards,
Hélène
Your scetch book looks intersting. Rather like mindmapping. Funny how sketchbooks can be so different. A friend of mine never draws she just writes ideas and I have very few words in mine.
