Those of you who follow my blog are aware that I use the time traveling to design, write, think and create connections between my journal at my destination and my studio at home. I record everything I see, collect things and it's mainly textile based. Beautiful cloth that has been touched by others hands. Stories and history i

I spend hours on the plane, while I'm watching TV and even in bed designing on the ipad. (by the way I think every quilter needs an ipad) My mind is constantly challenged and technology has increased my desire to challenge myself even more as a Textile artist... I don't think I should say I'm a quilter as such.. I'm an artist in textiles I love it. Its stimulating and challenging thanks to Technology.

Most of the people who look at this blog are textile artists or photographers. My Textile Artist friends, I was concentrating on capturing, light, color and Texture.

By a fluke, (or was it Karma) we found ourselves at the very place where my Uncle had painted the images. But my take on Low Head is very different. Some of the old buildings are still there 160 years later, as are the light houses. To be honest, I didn't really equate the two, Joshua Higgs paintings and the fact that we were at Low Head. It wasn't until I went through my photos last night that I put the two together.

How do you select the colors for a realistic quilt? That could be thread or fabric. Do you have a special technique? Well, I'm going to do it again and give away a technique I discovered recently.

This morning, we drove the 250 kms here on dusty roads flanked by golden manicured paddocks that reflected the end of a hot summer season. The sky was blue, punctuated by old deserted houses with rusty roofs and flocks of black crows. The houses hold memories of happiness, struggles and families past.

Women in cars, buses and carriages of all kinds descended on the town on Friday but they didn't come empty handed. Quilts for show and tell, coolers full of cheeses and wine and other dietary 'necessities' and the stories unwound as the conversation flowed.

I have had a lot of interest on the image I added to face book today. I thought I should share with you how I created it. In essence its a little bit like thread painting with a pencil.

The air was crisp and a heavy cloud of dew settled over all who ventured out. The sun produced an orange glow to everything and it can be the most difficult time to photograph and also the most exciting because of the interesting light. We met, for the first time as a group on that walk, sharing conversation with each other, and also some of he locals who's smile would welcome you with friendliness.

Our first stop was at a traditional painting studio. Paubhas are painted on a rectangular piece of canvas. It is prepared by applying a mixture of buffalo glue and white clay on it. The surface is then rubbed with a smooth stone to give it polish. The painting is done according to the rules and dimensions handed down by tradition, and artists cannot exercise their creativity.

It's dusty light and extremely colorful. There are no pavements on the outer ring roads, the bitumen ends and dirt begins. The sounds of horns and crows blend. There seems to be a huge amount of buses in proportion to other vehicles and to heck with health and safety, they are packed to capacity.

On our last day in Kathmandu we had some free time so friends Ginger and Rose and I took a walk around the area of our hotel. Just a few doors from the hotel we came across an amazing compound. I brought forth the most amazing surprise.

Just outside the temple gates were two little boys playing. Their faces were dirty, their clothes in rags, but they had the biggest smiles. They followed us for a short time. The other ladies had gone into the temple, but friend Pam pulled the two books out of the bag and gave one to each of the boys. The looks on their faces were just priceless. They couldn't believe it. They took off running as if afraid that we would take them back again.

He doesn't have a fancy studio, he doesn't have electricity or even a roof over his head but he sits day by day on the side of a busy road in the dust and the smog of continuous stream of traffic spewing black smoke into the atmosphere as it passes by.
