as i am sitting here this saturday morning after having my cup of coffee, i am taking in this lovely creative sister, i am connecting with her experience in the creative world, for i too am a contributor to the art of creativity. i thought about my journey of then to now. i dipped my toe into various forms of creation. Performing art (i was an actress, singer, director, playwright, producer. i produced my own play back in 2007), visual art (i did a lot of coloring after being challenged to start coloring in an adult coloring book given to me by a visiting interior designer who did a "lunch and learn" session with our interiors department at the architecture design firm where i worked at here in atlanta. i'm now retired. since then, i made several colorings books of my collected works using pencil and gel pens and markers. then created my own coloring designs) which led me to where i am now. i am a creative designer of canvas tote bags and accessories. This journey of bag creating led me to sewing which i learned back in high school and never went back to untill now. and i am truly loving it because it is taking my journey to another level in my life. so yes, i can connect with Cas. she made me realize, that your creative life is a constant journey of discovery within yourself. a journey of challenges and mastering all the wonderful and amazing things you can create. it's a beautiful thing!

Awesomeness! Wonderful interview... inspiring.

[BarbaraUK]

I never tire of listening to you. I was born and brought in Cranbrook and as a child it was a great adventure to visit Maidstone. I never knew of the contact with paper, I must look into this. Thank you. A great piece.

Enjoyed hearing your story, thanks for sharing !!! Stitching is so comforting 🪡🧵♥️

[peisleyfilm]

Fierce interview. I relate to your ‘unpicking’ of metaphors and relationship to caring for your husband. Some how experience can be metabolised through the making. Thank you for sharing your process.
