It’s been said that the four most dangerous words in the English language are “I already know that.” These words create a mental barrier that shuts you off from any additional information you might receive by listening. More importantly, saying “I already know that” closes the door on new experiences that could enrich your life and your art.

Every workshop that I lead is a new experience, and I always learn a lot. Color is such a broad subject that each student produces swatches that are wonderfully unique.
At times I have thought that the workshops would go more smoothly if I set more limits--you must work with this motif, you may only use 5 colors, ad nauseam--but I just love seeing the wildly different products that are produced when people are urged to choose their own patterns and their own colors!
And for something different, here's a current picture of my sweet daughter:

Gingko looks *just* like mom. Amazing.
