They have a different keyboard here…
I enjoyed reading Linda’s article about Ada Niedenthal and agree with a lot of Linda’s comments.
I too find myself spending a little too much time working on the computer instead of at the sewing machine. Many times my compositions are based on photos, and I also do research on the web if I am working with something specific. But it is very easy to get caught up with all the options available on line, as well as photoshop and paintshop etc. Sometimes I’m busy playing around and dont get around to actually putting all my ideas to work!
Like anything else, moderation is the key. I havent had access to a computer in a few days but havent missed it. We were sailing on the Adriatic and Im taking plenty of photos to inspire me later. Its good to get out, without any obligations, and just see what the world outside the internet has to offer!
Thanks for the informative and inspiring article, Linda. I enjoyed Ada’s work and will research her further when I get home.
Until then… dovidjenja!
