Thanks for your message. I've been doing a bit of design work, just finished a collage for the Texture element, which was fun, and am on the last sample of padding, about to start with the smooth purl. Which will be something completely new for me. I don't have a huge amount of experience with any particular sewing so it's quite exciting. How are you getting on? Regards, Jane

Kathy AndrewsHi, I need ideas about how best to present my work when I come over in June for the Distance Learners Weekend. Do students make a portfolio/scrapbook of their work? Thanks!

The Design Unit on Line and Mark Making really challenged me. i haven't any formal teaching art/art history/ art appreciation...so I wanted some more information, more insight. I did a Google search for "lines and marks" and landed on this web site. Lots of interviews with really interesting ideas...http://linesandmarks.com
