  1. Velma this all looks so exciting and so interesting. The weaving especially appeals.

    Hope you are enjoying your time in Australia. A beautiful sunny weekend coming up...chilly, but the sunshine is wonderful.

  2. such a treasure of a journey that these images reveal. one can almost hear the silence of thought in the room. the new touches and sensual expression going and coming through the hands. really beautiful work - you should be proud/happy/revived. safe travels.

  9. Inspiring collection!! And we're on opposite ends - I was in Florida for two weeks.... hot and impossiby humid, especially for my constitution that doesn't mind snowshoeing in 20 degrees, didn't feel that bad when I got off the plane yesterday at 85 and not that humid. Happy re-entry to you!!
