Studio time is way more important - especially when provided with a bunch of material from which you are going to make something ..... all sorts of ideas floating around. Want to start now, but will be making that start with Fiona on our work day.<br />Thanks Fiona - I can see us both going to and fro our bundles - not only the real ones but the photos on our blogs as that seems to give an added dimension to the materials we have given each other. Thrilled to have remembered the metal covers and am already thinking of how I can introduce more metal into my work. I love the directions this collaborative work leads us into ....... often new corners, but even more often, corners we have passed through and are revisiting.<br />Thanks Barry. You have the benefit of not only reading about the fun the two of us have, but seeing us, and seeing it in our faces.<br />Hello Rosie. Yes we are so lucky to have found in each other someone with whom we can work jointly. We both love and respect each other's work and this is a good starting point. We are also very much on the same page, yet we approach things quite differently.<br />Hello Robyn - yes, I too love the metal covers. Am now thinking of how to make the covers integral to the work and not just a delicious add on. Have not worked with metal before other than with my etching and I am already thinking of other ways in which to use it as an on going thing in my books.susan bowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05039648113517753032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2524845044750483894.post-30041032411338889912012-06-26T00:52:57.751+10:002012-06-26T00:52:57.751+10:00Ooo yum!

I am up early now, going to pack and leave for airport soon.

I would too!<br /><br />Your metal book covers are delicious and will play well with the papers, threads, etc., but you know that already. I can't wait until July 6 to see what transpires during your day together. <br /><br />Now...back to salivating over your stash...Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10927317459104273331noreply@blogger.com
