[Nfb-krafters-korner] life changes

[artist]

Linda, I went to Europe several years ago and one of the best part for me 
was the beautiful art that is there.  Two actually view the works of those 
great masters was the thrill of a lifetime for me.  I especially loved the 
plentitude of mosaics and can't even guess the amount of photos I took of 
them.  They were everywhere, sidewalks, floors, walls, table tops.  They 
really caught my eye and gave me inspiration for my quilt designs.  I have a 
vague view of them in my memory but not clear enough to duplicate now.  One 
of the things I am doing now is making pictures from squares and triangles 
in mosaic fashion for centerpieces on children's quilts.        You once 
asked me where I got my inspiration and I don't believe I answered that 
question yet.  I get my inspiration by remembering , listening , reading and 
even feeling.  But, I think mostly from people.  I find them interesting and 
some unknowingly paint wonderful pictures with their words.    All inspiring 
for me.   It is in living that I dream and doing is the result. the joy of 
accomplishment comes when you hear the reaction of the viewer.  It takes my 
breath away.JoAn
