I delight in the comfort and cosiness of textile (both as a material and an art world) but I also know this is what restricts us. I don't feel ready to rock that boat just yet...Hannah Lambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03477406715223164791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-91393960637529904152015-10-04T11:48:08.180-04:002015-10-04T11:48:08.180-04:00You have broached a loaded subject.

Ed Rossbach is one of the artists that they write about. I gave amazon links to the book about his body of work, and also to the Larsen-Constantine book.<br /><br />Which ever book you ordered Susan, I am sure that you will like, but Beyond Craft is a true classic. I was gifted a few months ago from my cousin Jane, who found it in a used book sale at her local library. It is a real treasure and full of inspirational artwork from the 70's. Like Magadalena Abakanowicz's early abakans. gorgeous and timeless.<br /><br />thanks for visiting and for commenting<br />x<br />Judy Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00619951031502775381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-3600757466585798802015-10-04T04:46:56.017-04:002015-10-04T04:46:56.017-04:00love the quilt! just ordered his book from the lib...love the quilt! just ordered his book from the librarysusan hemannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17784893342890918275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-24377616591657481392015-10-03T19:31:01.611-04:002015-10-03T19:31:01.611-04:00Thanks for noticing that, Margaret. xoThanks for noticing that, Margaret. xoJudy Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00619951031502775381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-89278262455037305342015-10-03T19:29:25.084-04:002015-10-03T19:29:25.084-04:00All those stitches and the piece still moves, flow...All those stitches and the piece still moves, flows, ripples.
