Let me share something in return that came to me this morning as I was separating the ewes to milk from the lambs... I have a series of pens and gates I use to move them... Sheep get very anxious when moved about but if I am patient and leave the right gates open, they will separate themselves...Somehow conserving my energy and leaving the right gates open is important to my creativity..

No I did not get pictures at the show as no photography was allowed. I do have photos of the pieces I submitted and can post those to my blog. I will let you know once I get them loaded.Unfortunately I did not get the 2 BJP08 pieces photoed once I got them framed. I will need to add those once the show comes down in late August. Liz Thompson and Linda Darmes who are also part of this years BJP also had pieces in the show. Liz snuck at least one picture and has it on her Facebook. Several of our round robin works were also in the show.madelineMihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15820629539914299004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28049265.post-1651402899673649742009-07-24T15:41:47.470-07:002009-07-24T15:41:47.470-07:00Instead of writing a long comment right now, I wil...Instead of writing a long comment right now, I will just pick out one point: Once again I am amazed at the ease and elegance with which you express yourself artistically.<br /><br />SabineSabinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828881412607899172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28049265.post-28875703681113605632009-07-24T00:32:45.712-07:002009-07-24T00:32:45.712-07:00This is lovely!

Beautiful piece. It really is textural but flowing. Water is primal but I hadn't thought of it in terms of a river but more as the ocean with it's currents and tides. I think lots of people move back from their river but creative people feel it more. Some cerebral types I know will stay away from the river for a lifetime and forget the river brings wholeness. <br /><br />It's great you used such special beads and hand dyed fabrics. It makes the piece even more whole.Timareehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15769047120660859743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28049265.post-13621251314773105422009-07-23T00:08:20.169-07:002009-07-23T00:08:20.169-07:00To All ~ Once again, I feel that all-important wit...To All ~ Once again, I feel that all-important <i>witnessing</i> in your coments! I've got to write a post about this concept... It's about knowing that others have seen and heard your deepest, most honest self and honored it by so doing.

I am ...This piece really speaks to my soul, Robin. I am a kayaker and the literal flow of the river calls to me like a siren song. On the river, I am part of the natural world that surrounds me. When I paddle into the flow, I have become part of the river’s journey. The river feeds my soul and I am content. When I am away from the river I feel a sense of longing and when I return, the river welcomes me back like a long lost friend. I love how this can relate to creativity and the creative spirit within all of us. Sometimes life can steer us away from the river, but the river is always there, waiting to welcome us back to the journey. Your piece is a beautiful representation of the river within you. Thanks for sharing.pam ehlers stechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13250704845112781815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28049265.post-19742733988066898852009-07-22T11:22:57.168-07:002009-07-22T11:22:57.168-07:00I enjoy the softness and happiness that seem to oo...I enjoy the softness and happiness that seem to ooze from your piece.
