Hi Beadgirl
ReplyDeleteLove your blog - you have really good ideas and describe them so well. Your butterflies are an inspiration to me to try something along the same lines in my medium (computerised machine embroidery)
And thanks for the great book recommendation (The Book of Lost Books). I have really got to get that
Keep up the good work!

Thanks, Mia!
