The fact that you’re a member of Fibres and Fabrics shows you are creative by nature. Define yourself – art/craft wise? Craft, more a technician than really creative though I like some design.
Are you more comfortable working in one particular medium than most others?Have tried many and have settled to patchwork and appliqué – not rally a hands dirty as my mother said I didn’t really like making mud pies and pottery doesn’t appeal – to do that is – but once I taught fabric printing. I am a fiddler.
