Such a powerful essay, Lesley. Yes I am creating the art in my heart, and I remember the time before I realised that was what I needed. And like you, I remember the moment I started - toddler momentarily busy with something other than me while I grabbed the fabric and got stitching. It is a constantly hard thing to find the time, energy and headspace but I join my voice to yours when you urge women to start and then to keep on going. Thanks for this.
So much of what you shared resonates with me today. I often have thought that if I wrote a newsletter, it would be very much what you are doing here. Encouraging women to create and share their stories. Well done!
I have followed you for years … experimenting with the many techniques you have shared. Currently, it's all about cyanotypes for me. And using your TAP to make patches for some clothing items. You continue to be a very real inspiration for me, and many many others. Thank you so much. Jennifer

It's so rewarding to hear how you got started and are sticking with it. It's what make life easier, yes?
Absolutely 👍
Yes, Yes, Yes!!
lovely Lesley. Do you remember when, years ago, you were telephone counseling me on this very issue? I still think back what you said!
Hey there! Of course I remember. You are unforgettable. I miss you!

Thanks again, CeCe, creative power is important.
So very true and timely for me right now.
