I feel that it makes art that can actually touch other people so that they can in turn get in touch with their emotions and memories and inner thoughts. <br />When I see conceptually strong piece of art executed with hand stitchuing, I am moved beyond measure. <br />I like paintings too - and yes, they are perhaps more immediate and intuitive, but hand stitched marks win out for me if there is to be a contest.<br /><br />So no, I don't think you are mad.<br />And yes, you will be done in a year.<br />xoJudy Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00619951031502775381noreply@blogger.com
