Since the exhibition I've been keeping busy with my City and Guilds course, and with a quilt for a group exhibition in April this year. The quilt is heavily quilted and embellished by hand, and most of the work for the course is also done by hand.
I don't know about you, but when I work by hand I need something to occupy my head. Sometimes I've got a lot on my mind, and it's ok, but other times, I need to divert my thoughts in other directions. We don't have a functioning radio in the house, and I am not so much a music person. Words are more my cup of tea. The best would be to listen to audio books, but these are not common in Israel. So I have found a great solution - I listen to podcasts.
That's how I discovered Marisa Haedike and Creative Thursday website, blog and podcasts. I went back to the first podcasts and have been listening to them sequentially. I love Marisa's podcasts! They are humorous, absorbing and very insightful. It's incredible how accurately she identifies and treats various aspects of everyones lives, but mostly the issues that bother creative people.
Thank you, Marisa, for giving me some of the most delightful moments of the last couple of days!
