I suspect I am represented by one of those cheery looking houses - safe and happy ... but are they? You are right abut repetitive work too ... it can be both soothing - but just enough to raise a small eyebrow of interest above the horizon ...

I know I find it difficult to work sometimes when I'm discombobulated about life, and find I have to work through it doing something repetitive that lulls me into a false sense of security, hoping that creativity will creep up on me!x<br />maggiehttp://getstuffedbook.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275887840403712824.post-16050169971060854862013-01-15T18:14:10.853+00:002013-01-15T18:14:10.853+00:00Am giving myself a big round ... very smart, espec...Am giving myself a big round ... very smart, especially for me, who can tend to stick with the bleeding obvious when it comes to titles. Maybe I am enetering a deeper, more thoughtful stage of my life?? Then again, maybe not - maybe I just had one good moment. You are dead right about the looking up and down bit ... althogh I shall leave Life - Look Up to your greater skills I think. Maybe I should model?? No No NO - not without drugs anyway! As said to Steph - you really can't beat a good blocking ... it is a much overlooked pleasure xHilaryBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15410151165055470962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275887840403712824.post-35505443740003988342013-01-15T18:08:27.874+00:002013-01-15T18:08:27.874+00:00I know Jane - I always feel so sad when we hear ne...I know Jane - I always feel so sad when we hear news of more errosion, especially when it costs someone their home.

I'm glad someone else drew those birds ... I still really like them. I'm pleased to have set off some ideas - I'd love to see your St Ives piece when it is done .. gorgoues place xHilaryBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15410151165055470962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275887840403712824.post-67732781309430943032013-01-15T18:02:47.162+00:002013-01-15T18:02:47.162+00:00Thank you Sheila .. and you are lacking in self be...Thank you Sheila .. and you are lacking in self belief rather than imagination I think.

Oh - and I would find a psychotic quilt very comforting - but that may be just me xHilaryBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15410151165055470962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275887840403712824.post-79323917872301680242013-01-15T16:12:37.676+00:002013-01-15T16:12:37.676+00:00I think a round of applause for the turning of On ...I think a round of applause for the turning of On The Edge to On Edge. Brilliant difference. I like the way the nice neat houses fall into the unknown shapes and forms of the cliff or jetty. It is slightly unsettling but only if you look down. If you look up it's tres jolly. Life Lesson - Look Up (another quilt title there I think!) Glad the blocking went well!

I think our mood can come into our work. I made a painting of a favourite cottage once and it looked fine. When I came to do a second version to give to the cottage owners it came out all spiky and stormy looking reflecting my mood while I painted it as life was particularly difficult at that point. Yes, I used to draw birdies like yours :-) I have often wanted to portray the lovely wharfside in St Ives in Cornwall and you've given me some ideas about where to start.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14223691871102821084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275887840403712824.post-31326364855639816652013-01-15T13:35:53.789+00:002013-01-15T13:35:53.789+00:00As always I love it.
