Thank you for being an ARTIST!
I’m not sure...Susan,<br />Thank you for being an ARTIST!<br />I’m not sure of when or how I discovered your blog. I think it was in mid 2010. Since then I have a been regular reader. <br />I follow your stories of ART, work, family, and life. It is encouraging as I look at ways of weave together the different parts of my life with meaning and purpose.<br />I am inspired by your ART, your process, your passion, your dedication, your motivation, and your inspiration. Your ART challenges me to look at ART and life in a different way. While I am drawn to ART that is aesthetically pleasing, ART that make me smile, ART that works with a certain particular décor or wardrobe; I long for ART, such as yours, that makes me challenges me and makes me think about ideas or issues or concepts in different ways. <br />When I first saw the video on "Healthcare in America is Broken" and then read the comments, I thought that "we", (the citizens of the United States of America) could and should learn from this. It is our health care system....what can we do to improve our health and fix our health care system? While I do not have answers at this time, a seed has been planted.<br />I could ramble on and on, but instead I will go to the sewing machine and meditate and create.<br />Thank you again,<br />Peace and Stitch,<br />Candace<br />PS… I saw one of your Find a Mate pieces in Chapel Hill North Carolina. <br /><br />Candace Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04180603494997841260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32540525.post-31587308352545180142012-11-12T19:39:27.240-05:002012-11-12T19:39:27.240-05:00Susan, I think, no I know, that I would have cried...Susan, I think, no I know, that I would have cried. But then, it would have been because I don't have a creative mind that would allow me to make something out of nothing.

I had read earlier about your health care project, so I was disappointed when I first started to read your blog, but I love the new project as well. Forward!

Had I been you, Steve might have suffered some serious collateral damage. I admire how you coped with this and the message in your new art piece is even stronger than in the original! The video itself is a work of art. Hope you show it with the pieces!Frieda Oxenhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08625739920655517987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32540525.post-27898819549572215642012-11-10T06:08:44.947-05:002012-11-10T06:08:44.947-05:00Not sure I could have handled it so well Susan, bu...Not sure I could have handled it so well Susan, but the end result is stunning.
