Then you have to be ready to respond when the whims of nature conspire to produce all the right conditions for that elusive photographic moment.

You created an amazing sky ...Beautiful job, Laura! You created an amazing sky in "Morning Light" and I liked the way you placed highlights on the treetops. Like you, I've been so intrigued by the landscape on Santiam Pass resulting from the B&B Complex Fire. I always think of those bleached-out dead trees as "ghost trees" and I appreciate how you showed their contrast against the blackened tree silhouettes and the fiery vine maples. Very clever stitching you used for the ground cover -- it looks velvety. My favorite was "Prairie III." It is poetic in its simplicity (ooh, doesn't that sound like something a real reviewer would say?!!) -- everything about it is understated, from the few careful lines of quilting in the sky to the graceful curve of the grasses playing against the horizontal lines of the wire fence and the vertical line of the weathered post. Beautiful simplicity!

I also wish I could have posted images of some of the work of various featured artists. In this day of over-use of internet sharing, I hesitate to post the work of others without going and getting individual permission.

It's hard to say if it will ever pay off but it sure is handy to own one. I am more than happy to make screens for anyone who might be interested. I saw what some sites are charging and was shocked. I could cut some of those prices in half and still be ahead. Laura Jaszkowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01362715058486035975noreply@blogger.com
