Perhaps it just wasn't quite the right time for me and now I'm finding help and knowledge from other source ..maybe one day ... However, i will certainly investigate Sarah's work via the OCA site when I get home to more reliable internet access.Charlton Stitcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052815242463837033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995249205815458488.post-9531190437846374062014-05-09T10:14:50.081+01:002014-05-09T10:14:50.081+01:00Thanks very much, Olga.

My comment that thought had been provoked by seeing Sarah's work with optical fibres was really a general one along the lines of if optical fibres can be used in weaving, what else could<br />I use? Though optical fibres are really beguiling. <br />Thanks also for the link to Joan Eardley. I was outwitted by time and technology in this post!<br />Charlton Stitcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052815242463837033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995249205815458488.post-16448916019933990212014-05-09T09:33:12.326+01:002014-05-09T09:33:12.326+01:00Sarah Taylor is with the Open College of the Arts ...Sarah Taylor is with the Open College of the Arts at present: http://www.weareoca.com/fine_art/introducing-sarah-taylor-new-textiles-curriculum-leader/Olga Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10554469124546960971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995249205815458488.post-20900199475229701452014-05-07T23:25:03.469+01:002014-05-07T23:25:03.469+01:00What a lovely way to spend a morning.

Her work has always mesmerised me, and for a short time around the turn of the century I did some research into trying to find a source of side emitting optical fibre to stitch with. I probably did not hunt for long enough, but I came to the conclusion that the best solution was to be at a college to have access to such materials and equipment. Good luck if you try. <br /><br />Here is a link to the wondrous Joan Eardley: http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/yourpaintings/paintings/harvest-time-106890 Olga Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10554469124546960971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995249205815458488.post-31012938188690024802014-05-07T17:26:26.563+01:002014-05-07T17:26:26.563+01:00Sarah's work is indeed beautiful - subtle and ...Sarah's work is indeed beautiful - subtle and ever changing but all within a conventional woven structure ... very clever.
