Therefore, I like quiet cloth, uplifting cloth, scintillating cloth, elegant cloth, exquisite (which is moving towards the technical rather than simply the aesthetic), fun cloth, but perhaps not challenging cloth, "out there" cloth, and the like. I find "exciting" to see cloth that looks one way from afar, another from a mid distance, and whoa, quite different close up. And with this, I think I achieved something of it. <br /><br />Holly, thanks for your vote of confidence. I shall put it under purgatory sofa. OR, I'll just make a new warp and handle this one as a sample for the next one.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01350447919000146804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-10118867081728766682010-06-07T07:46:22.584+12:002010-06-07T07:46:22.584+12:00Your piece is spectacular!

I prefer the kind of art one lives with and sees more in and enjoys more over time, the kind of thing that is different in different lights, or has subleties not immediately apparent. I think "exciting" at first look often turns to "disappointing" on further reflection.<br /><br />Anyhow, Meg, I think your weaving is gorgeous, I love how the colours work. I adored your tea cosy too.<br /><br />Emotional response - everyone responds to things differently, emotional response depends on where an individual comes from, their memories, values, colour vision, favourite things and places and people.Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06488670649558382921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-37474478926320039062010-06-06T22:29:06.227+12:002010-06-06T22:29:06.227+12:00Carol, thanks.

Yours was truly wild.
