dear friends,<br />
<br />
thank you for hanging in here...this looks like being the last post, simply because Blogger is making it impossible for me to answer your comments, or to comment here myself.<br />
<br />
from hereon, the best place to find me will likely be Instagram.<br />

<br />
Last month I quite suddenly found myself sliding down a slippery slope...from a year filled with workshops and exhibitions to... nix.<br />
<br />
Thanks to the invisible scourge (our planet doing a bit of housekeeping) I now have a small fortune in flight credits (that I suspect may never be used) and all the time in the whirled to spend with my grand-daughter.<br />
<br />
I'm very lucky that my self-isolation takes place on 500 acres ( "don't fence me in" was always my theme song ) and also that I quite like a solitary lifetstyle (I've spent nearly thirty years as a sole parent). I know others are not quite so fortunate, so I created an online gathering I have called "in place", that offers small daily classes, readings and prompts to help people get through the days of isolation.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
"in place" began as a 23 day course, but has now been extended for as long as we endure the Great Pause. Together we are sailing our armchairs around the village well.<br />
<br />
I've committed to keep posting a little something every day. Participants are stitching on used tea-towels to create work for what was intended as an online exhibition but has also now blossomed into an actual exhibition to be held at Fabrik Arts + Heritage, in the old Onkaparinga Woollen Mill complex at Lobethal in South Australia some time next year.<br />
<br />
We have been drawing, stitching, writing.<br />
Presently we are dabbling in a little indigo.<br />
We are also making a small film together (clips are coming in from all over the whirled).<br />
<br />
There's still time to join us if you like...the Great Pause doesn't look like finishing any time soon.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
For an investment of $353 Australian dollars (or you can choose a 3 to 6 month payment plan) you'll have lifetime access to the course. The Aussie shekel is at an all time low at present (last time I looked it was worth 60 US cents) and so far 24 dailies have been uploaded.<br />
<br />
I'll keep going until the Great Pause is over (meaning we can all go dance in the streets again) or the Beast knocks me off my feet. I hope it doesn't...I very much like the idea of continuing to sail my armchair (dog willing and with a fair wind).<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Would you like to join me for a workshop?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A long one that lasts a month?</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Want to learn different ways of bundling to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
let those lovely string marks shine on your work?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Want to know to bring saved dried leaves back to life?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Would you like to ease into a daily morning writing practice,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
connect with a whirled-wide community and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
dance your way through February?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Why February?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It might be the shortest month but in the North,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
though we all know that the earth needs a rest before</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the abundance of spring, the long hours of dark together</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with driech weather can get to your soul.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And not in a good way.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here in the South we just feel the roasting</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
heat of summer will never end.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So once again I have dreamed up an adventure</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that can be enjoyed from wherever you are in the whirled.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It begins now, with a wee bit of prep, then goes to sleep</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
while you deal with whatever</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the Festive Season is throwing at you š.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Late in January I'll send a wakey-wakey email</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to remind you that the fun is about to begin,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and then every day in February</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
an email will fly in from me, with instructions</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for the mystery project that we are making together. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All I will tell you now is that it is both beautiful and useful,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and that we will be using cloth from your stash</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and your ragbag along with whatever threads</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you want to stitch with,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and all of the beads and buttons your heart desires.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You'll begin each day with quiet moments of grounding,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
light a candle, do a little writing and then work on your project,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
step by step until it all comes together</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and you take it out into the light of day</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
at the end of the month.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And did I mention pie?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There will be pie.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Taught in Canada, Scotland and France,</div>

film-making for my online school.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Some years ago I published a very limited edition</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of 'wandercards',</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
inspirational cards devised to offer ideas for</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the exploration of the poetics of place.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There were rather a lot of enquiries about</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a reprint, but in the interests of sustainability</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought it best to make the texts available</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
online (saving the costs of printing and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
mailing) so that people could make their</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
own unique sets, using repurposed materials</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
if they wished.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

it's been an extraordinary year</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(they all are, really) with wanderings that have included exhibitions in one of the busiest locations in the UK, as well as one of the more remote (but seemingly with lots of lovely visitors).</div>

here's a wee <b><a href="https://vimeo.com/319361577" target="_blank">video</a></b> to give you more of an idea of how it turned out. If you live in South Australia you have until March 17 to see the show for yourself. I keep expecting Oberon and Titania to step out of the shadows.<br />

I've also made a free class for you at the <b><a href="https://the-school-of-nomad-arts.teachable.com/courses" target="_blank">School of Nomad Arts</a></b> :: 'laundering leaf prints'.<br />
so many people write to me asking how best to wash their naturally dyed and printed textiles that I thought I'd save myself a bit of email-answering time by offering some instructions.<br />

Blogger is being extremely sporadic about letting me comment, even on my own blog.<br />
Commenting on others, forget it.<br />
<br />
This evening there was a comment on a post from 2009.<br />
<br />
A number of (frustrating) attempts at answering have failed, so here goes.<br />

<span style="caret-color: rgb(68, 68, 68); color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">India we are trying to help save the kelp forests from destructive mechanical harvesting, here in West Cork,Ireland. I am experimenting with bundles of cotton fabric using seaweed for dye patterns, but having trouble getting much to happen. I wonder if silk would be better and seaweed as mordant. This would become banners for a public art project. Maybe I need to add something to the mix to bring out the colours of the plants? I am a novice, have the bundle book, and would appreciate any suggestions you might have. Janice McEwen</span> "<br />
<br />
Answer: dyeing cotton is tricky, silk will be more rewarding. And seaweed generally plays more nicely when wrapped around a piece of metal.<br />

'being(t)here', one of the most popular workshops I've offered over the years, is now available online at the School of Nomad Arts. It begins with the new moon in March with offerings every 28 days or so, into December<br />

<br />
sorry for the slow reply ... I have tried several times to reply to your kind comment on the previous post, and Blogger simply would not publish. My fingers were crossed that it would work today, because it's nice to be able to engage in conversation, I think. But Blogger refused.<br />
<br />
What I wanted to say was that I'm glad you're still here, and that I love "bumping into you" in Europe from time to time!<br />
<br />
And I'm so grateful for your support of my work :: it must be about ten years that we have had a connection of some kind ?<br />
<br />
That's what I have come to realise about my work...Yes, it's about sharing the printing of leaves on to cloth and paper, and writing poetry and listening to the whirled but it's much more than that. It's about creating community.<br />
And what is really going on, when we gather around a cauldron and make bundles, or sit around a big table and stitch; is that we are (like in old times) gathering around a village well.<br />
There is talk, there is caring for each other. It's not just what I teach but what each person shares, too.<br />
<br />
Which brings me to my big news.<br />
I have so enjoyed creating classes for my online school that I have decided to create an annual version of one of my favourite workshops, 'being(t)here', that I have taught all around the whirled but which has been a little different in each version, depending on the place and the time of year, and on what I have been thinking about deeply.<br />
<br />
The <b><span style="color: #990000;"><a href="https://the-school-of-nomad-arts.teachable.com/p/being-t-here" target="_blank">first online edition</a></span></b> will run from March to December 2019, with eleven instalments each delivered on a new moon. It's a huge project and I'm slightly terrified and utterly elated at the same time. But that is what makes life exciting and worth living. It's splendid to have things that are really worth getting out of bed for (in addition to my delightful granddaughter and my loyal hound).<br />
<br />
On that note, I wish you a lovely and peaceful Christmas (or any other gentle festivity you might indulge in) and Joy and happiness for the New Year.<br />
<br />
lots of love<br />
<br />
India<br />
<br />
PS if your name isn't Martine and you've read this far I still wish you happiness and health and all good things for the coming year, and thank you for reading my words.<br />
<br />
PPS Blogger has now decided it won't publish my comments on other blogs, either. Which is kinda sad, because there are a number that I do read, and it's good to leave a calling card. Guess Blogger has decided to place limits on my screen time. Good thing they aren't hosting my online classes!!!<br />

thank you for hanging in there.<br />

this calendar year has been a particularly full one. I've taught five times in Australia, twice in Scotland and Canada,<br />
once in New Zealand and once in France. that's eleven workshops. seven of them were a week (as in 5 days) long, three were three days, one was a mere seven hours and one ran over two weeks.<br />

having previously resisted offers from others (the kind that read "<i>come to our studio across the seas at your own expense, let us film you doing tricks and then we'll give you 5% of the profits</i>") launched the <b><a href="https://the-school-of-nomad-arts.teachable.com/" target="_blank">School of Nomad Arts</a></b>, which is giving me much delight.<br />
<br />
I had no idea it would be so satisfying to make wee movies and create online classes.<br />
now I know.<br />
<br />
I'm writing this post from the beautiful gardens at Inverewe in Scotland, where I am spending the last week of November, dyeing with windfall leaves, preparing for an exhibition in their Sawyer Gallery (next June) and dreaming up more classes for my school.<br />
<br />
unsurprisingly, the mirror tells me I'm looking a tad frayed.<br />
<br />
it may be time for a wee rest.<br />
time to go home, cuddle that gorgeous grandbaby and go wandering with my dog.<br />
<br />
but it's been a fabulous year.<br />

the week at Northcliffe, during which we spent all day each day outside in sunshine and in rain was absolutely glorious. we made a field trip to Mount Chudalup, and created an installation for 'understory', the local sculpture park. people worked on their laps or on the grass, stitching dyed pieces into a 'wayfarer's comforter', a big soft cloth to keep them safe and warm on their travels.<br />

a mere two days at home to repack my bags, and I was off to Scotland to begin a three-and-a-bit-week road-and-ferry trip with Alison Mountain (half of the team of two that make up <b><a href="http://textilecentre.co.uk/" target="_blank">Big Cat Textiles</a></b>) . the plan was that Alison would cook for the first retreat (at Ardtornish Estate, near Lochaline) and I would captain the sailboat, and after that we would co-present a retreat on Orkney...meaning we would take turns at cooking and at telling stories. (we are nothing, if not optimistic)<br />

the lovely people at Ardtornish were so chuffed to have us, that we are already confirmed to return in 2020. the gardens there reminded me so much of my parents' lovely garden at Mount Lofty, before it was blackened by fire. and the house itself reminded me of Arthur's Seat, the towered house just a bit further up the mountain from us...where Nancy Harford taught me how to wash Persian carpets with velvet soap and a garden hose, introduced me to the joys of gin+tonic and told me the secret of everything... "whatever happens dearie, never lose your dignity". I'll confess I'm not always good at keeping that in mind, but I do try.</div>

after five glorious days expecting at any moment to encounter the Dowager Countess Crawley and her withering words around a corner, we left Ardtornish behind us in the wee hours :: driving northward to catch a ferry to the charmingly named port of St Margaret's Hope, Orkney. it was a magical sail across to this gorgeous archipelago, arriving in time for a brilliant sunset. the next day was taken up with serious (double-trolley) food shopping in preparation for the arrival of our participants. </div>

In between cuddling the wee one (and making silly hats for her) I have made another course for the <b><a href="https://www.indiaflint.com/" target="_blank">School of Nomad Arts</a></b> - this time it's an <b><a href="https://the-school-of-nomad-arts.teachable.com/p/a-clearing-in-the-woods" target="_blank">offering for February</a></b>. It starts now (four months ahead of time) so that participants can prepare by doing a bit of preservation dyeing.<br />
<br />
And then (on my way to Maiwa in Vancouver) I've been in New Orleans for a week or so, working on a piece of cloth and a short film, to which local guitar legend <a href="http://www.frenchquarter.com/people/john-fohl/364/" target="_blank"><b>John Fohl</b></a> has kindly added a soundtrack.<br />

It was such a joy sharing with students from all over the planet in my first-ever online class (the <span style="color: #990000;"><b><a href="https://alchemistaprons.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Alchemist's Apron</a></b></span>) that I found myself dreaming up another one.<br />
<br />
I know so many lovely dyers who simply cannot resist putting another morsel in the dyepot...and then build up great mountains of delicious samples that rarely, if ever, see the light of day again. Which set me thinking.<br />
<br />
It's time, my darlings.<br />
<br />
Time to raid the ragbag for beloved discards from which you can harvest, and to sort out your stash and get ready to join pieces together to make fabulous frocks that are unique to YOU.<br />
<br />
The class is called <b><a href="https://the-school-of-nomad-arts.teachable.com/p/conscious-clothing" target="_blank">Conscious Clothing</a></b>. I'm literally dancing with excitement in my armchair about sharing my dressmaking tricks with y'all and I can't wait to see the gorgeous dresses that will be growing in the hands of makers around the whirled.<br />
<br />
I've made the list of necessaries (and a wee video about dyeing while wandering) accessible to help you decide whether the class is for you. If you do dive in, the class is yours for life and there's also a Facebook sewing circle as extra support...the lovely thing is that you all bring so many skills to the table, and even though have a few reservations about FB, the fact remains that it is a very accessible means of connecting us all.<br />

Now I just need to get my house and workroom feeling the same way!<br />

<br />
I am pinching myself ... but it is true.<br />
<br />
I have taken the plunge.<br />
<br />
(what on earth is she on about, I hear you mutter)<br />
<br />
Thanks to my friend Christi Carter telling me about Seasonal Affective Disorder, (something that was unknown to me) which prompted me to dream up a February project to help keep the February blues at bay...and then her insisting I really needed to make a video for the FB group (created for those who invested in the Bagstories book)<br />
<br />
and then the darling Bagsisters being so very kind about my filming skills (and a bit of pride myself because I was able to make a wee film without saying UM or anything naughtier).<br />
<br />
All of this gave me the confidence to create a virtual campfire that I am calling<br />
<br />
the <b><a href="http://the-school-of-nomad-arts.net/home-page" target="_blank">School of Nomad Arts</a></b>.<br />
<br />
it is the place you can go to learn and to make, all while curled up in your armchair, wearing your favourite jimjams and without having to brush your hair if you can't be bothered.<br />
<br />
the first ever class is<br />
<br />
<b><a href="https://the-school-of-nomad-arts.teachable.com/p/the-alchemists-apron" target="_blank">the Alchemist's Apron</a></b><br />
<br />
starting on March 22 (but open for enrolments now).<br />
<br />
care to join me there? I hope so.<br />

Which is a bit frustrating when there are questions to be answered.<br />
<br />
So after typing answers several times (and forgetting to copy them!) and then losing them again<br />
I decided to sort it out by posting screenshots.<br />
<br />
fingers crossed the people concerned swing by and find em. But if this situation continues I fear it may try my patience...<br />

<br />
<br />
staying at home for the summer has made so much sense.<br />
<br />
it's given me the space (and grace) to play :: to make new work and to dream new ideas.<br />
<br />
in January I made the wee book 'bagstories' and was stunned to find the welcome it received, and then delighted to see how the 'bagstories' group (on Facebook) so quickly became such a lovely supportive gathering of like-minded spirits.<br />
<br />
that foray has led to me deciding that I should make a February project every year. Also, at long last, I will offer distance learning for those who suffer physical, geographical and/or economic difficulty in getting to a class. more on that very soon.<br />
<br />
but for now, let me tell you about 'gardens of the heart'...a project in poetry and cloth that will culminate in an exhibition for the 2019 Adelaide Festival Fringe, that I am coordinating with the h.ART group who have been the backbone behind the establishment of an Artspace in the old Onkaparinga Woollen Mills in Lobethal, South Australia. You can sign up via the Facebook group, or (if you aren't on fb) leave me a comment below (or email me) and I will assign you a 'line number'. Why line numbers?<br />
<br />
it's because 'gardens of the heart' is based on the three-line poetry that I have been sharing with students in recent years...which results in collaborative aleatory poetry...beautiful words gathered by chance from groups of (three) people.<br />
<br />
each person stitches their line along a piece of cloth (450mm x 150mm :: 18" x 6") together with the number of dots they've been assigned.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcebJpsUDo-nEvoeDbvkKTGWytksMYKsQ62_GVzgQStbkJBWPNfdwY-fHFFc4coS7VzIm75KMI-hfm5rJq7hLtFmrfAF6dAt86M2le4sfOkiHyfThwYLnfE0a_3MP1SI9XY5VIy6g5yy8/s1600/IMG_8356.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="936" data-original-width="1512" height="199" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcebJpsUDo-nEvoeDbvkKTGWytksMYKsQ62_GVzgQStbkJBWPNfdwY-fHFFc4coS7VzIm75KMI-hfm5rJq7hLtFmrfAF6dAt86M2le4sfOkiHyfThwYLnfE0a_3MP1SI9XY5VIy6g5yy8/s320/IMG_8356.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
then all the pieces will be stitched together by me (and some friendly volunteers) next February to form three-line poems, which will be installed at the Woollen Mill Artspace in Lobethal, South Australia together with a cloud of suspended flowers.<br />
<br />
are you in?<br />

at high noon on February One this year (central standard time.... a silly zone really, half an hour different from the actual meridian on which South Australia sits and initiated by a bunch of businessmen in 1899, when the speed of communication/travel was so slow it didn't make a difference anyway), the 'bagstories' group on Facebook will revert to secret.<br />
<br />
why is this important? it's because on that date (as soon as I return from a family airport run) I shall be posting the next instalment of instructions for a lagniappe project I am guiding purchasers of the 'bagstories' book though for the month of February. (it's a project that is not actually in the book, as it would have added too many pages and thus too high a cost to the consumer. It is an invention of my own that has roots in Japanese traditions and a few nods to other cultures...that I am very excited to share)<br />

<br />
those people who have already bought the book and let me know (via forwarded receipts) that they have done so, have been admitted to the group and are busily preparing a small collection of stitched cloth squares in readiness. well, mostly cloth. One is working with Japanese paper and another will doubtless be using her lovely shifu.<br />
<br />
another way of joining is to find the bagstories group (there's a link at the bottom of this post) and to show your proof-of-investment by cutting and pasting details from your receipt into the space that FB provides for answering questions.<br />

I know this is a slightly fussy and irritating beginning...but I think it's worth the effort, as it means you'll have lifetime access to the bagstories group and can continue your conversations there long after the February project is done. Already I'm seeing that people are planning to meet over cauldrons here and there. I'm hoping others may gather for stitching sessions (or coffee, or a cocktail)... the more different people we meet, the more we find we are the same at heart...<br />
<br />
'bagstories' already has members from almost all over the whirled...including Iceland, Brazil, Germany, Australia, Ireland, Scotland, England, the USA, India, Canada, New Zealand ...do forgive me if you're in and your country is not on the list yet! forming peaceful friendships through bag-making. This is making me enormously happy.<br />

<br />
<br />
it's been a while since I had anything really interesting to tell y'all but today I have two things to talk about.<br />
one is the fabulous scarf I was gifted when I visited the Netherlands last (northern) summer, woven from her own exquisite handspun yarns by Caitlin Bongers (she's the one with the voice of the angels who started us all singing by the River Tay a couple of years back).<br />
the other can wait for a moment.<br />
<br />
the scarf waited patiently while I sailed in and out of home, emptying suitcases and refilling them, patting the dog, grubbing a few thistles and explaining to my cat just why I had to leave again. it was a busy year. so much so that I consciously cleared my dance card for the first three months of this one, so that I could find some space to breathe, to prepare for the next lot of teaching and to think about what my part of the collab might entail.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-7Bl0poptt9kp-FyVevWodxmF0dCoo01YXNWaw8KjowXuNRIt0Y_GOF8KHwMshq5snijerOOlXW_QG_GEAgTZlD0yfPYnzx9y3ulTHiKlQA5g10G_6IWYTdIakKkeUurPc2DTi7CO3qs/s1600/IMG_7838.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="640" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-7Bl0poptt9kp-FyVevWodxmF0dCoo01YXNWaw8KjowXuNRIt0Y_GOF8KHwMshq5snijerOOlXW_QG_GEAgTZlD0yfPYnzx9y3ulTHiKlQA5g10G_6IWYTdIakKkeUurPc2DTi7CO3qs/s320/IMG_7838.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I should explain that when I received this gorgeous armful of softness I was quite overwhelmed. I know what it takes to warp up and weave something, and this piece is especially beautiful. I asked Caitlin if she would mind me dyeing it, and being given permission I suggested we regard it as a collaboration.<br />
<br />
so this week, in between working on the "other thing" that I will shortly reveal, I sat in the armchair, dogs at my feet, cats and kittens disporting themselves over my shoulders, and decided that I would knot the fringe of the scarf. such gentle repetitive work is good for quieting the mind. while working I listened to a podcast from On Being, John O'Donohue discoursing gently on beauty. it was perfect.<br />

then I was moved to take my needle and do just a little stitching into the piece. just a little.<br />
<br />
I soaked it in a diluted iron brew (students may remember it as 'magic potion', made by soaking rusty things in vinegar, and heavily diluted for use otherwise everything can turn black)<br />

it was firmly bundled with Eucalyptus scoparia windfall, and then cooked in a pre-loved dark brew. (it doesn't matter what your bundle is cooked in, it's what's <b>inside</b> the bundle that's important)<br />
<br />
when it cooled, I unrolled it, and it just took my breath away. THANK YOU Caitlin, for entrusting this treasure to me. it will be joining the "essential travel kit".<br />

and the other thing? that belongs to the 'compromise' part of the title of this post. various people had been kindly urging me to consider making an e-course, but I simply couldn't come at standing and talking into a camera. I'm not good at doing and talking at the same time. something to do with the cerebral hemispheres.<br />
<br />
but I do like making books. so the compromise is that I have made a wee book that is a kind of workshop-in-your-pocket (or on your screen if you take the PDF version). it's mostly handwritten rather than typed but I wanted it to feel as though you were looking over my shoulder into a notebook.<br />
<br />
what's in it? it contains the secrets of the tsunobukuro, that magical bias stitched bag of Japan that I so frequently share with students. (little ones are perfect for buying vegetables, the in-between sizes brilliant for gathering leaves, twigs or keeping your clothes sorted in a suitcase...and I always carry an extra-large one in case I run out of luggage space.)<br />
<br />
it is available at blurb.com and if you send me proof of purchase (via the contact form on my website) I shall invite you to the 'secret' Facebook group where, for the month of February, I shall be posting tips and tricks and one or three "how to's", and where you can post images of the bags that you make, and have conversations with fellow 'baggers' around this marvellous whirled.<br />

Lately there has been another tsunami of posts on the interpixies by various people operating in the creative arts whirled, complaining about copyists.<br />
<br />
The funny thing is that many of them derive a living from having either copied someone else's work from a book, poached a successful business model (in one case, together with the email list!) from an associate or are directly teaching exactly what they have learned in a class.<br />
<br />
I stopped giving printed handouts in the year 2000, when someone at the textile forum who had not actually been in my class, helped themselves to a copy and then advertised and presented the class (verbatim) a few months later.<br />
<br />
Sometimes people still ask for them...and I can't help but raise an eyebrow when they add "because I've been asked to teach the class to my quilt group/local school/in a workshop next whenever.<br />
<br />
I have been teaching creative classes of one sort or another since 1986 and have participated in many (over thirty) classes as a student, most recently one with the lovely <b><a href="https://open.abc.net.au/explore/178750" target="_blank">Lorna Crane</a></b>. Next year I'll be back at <b><a href="http://www.shakerag.org/" target="_blank">Shakerag</a></b>...as a student. Will I be sharing directly what I have learned? No.<br />
<br />
I choose to attend classes that will add to my practice, in a kind of personalised ongoing post-graduate professional development program. Sometimes I learn more about the practice of teaching than about a specific technique. Either way, the experience is invaluable and improves the way I present classes, but <i>indirectly</i> so. <br />
<br />
That's because the experience is filtered through my life, not simply reproduced. <br />
<br />

<br />
So when people ask me outright to explain exactly how I make my personal work (which is what happened at the opening of my current exhibition <b><a href="http://www.indiaflint.com/page40.htm" target="_blank">'refuge'</a></b>) I politely decline. There's enough information freely available about 'ecoprinting' online and I don't care if you are "just a painter and unlikely to use it" because I'm sorry but my bullshit detector redlined when I saw your partner's ears pricked and alert. I wouldn't have explained it anyway. To say that it's a contact print is enough.<br />
<br />
Also, I am now wise to the practice of inviting people to lunch to talk about the possibility of working with their firm...and then having your brains thoroughly picked. Lunch is not a sufficient payment for my time (and airfares). I prefer my own cooking most times anyway. In future, persons wanting to "consult" will need to substantiate that interest with appropriate reimbursement for my time and travel. Your lawyer isn't going to drop in for lunch to tell you exactly how to manage a situation either. The other thing I will not allow is prospective hosts to "sit in on a class" to see how it will "fit with their program". I'm not so much green as I'm cabbage-looking.<br />
<br />
On the sunny side, I do love teaching, and that is why sharing the class <b><a href="http://www.indiaflint.com/page28.htm" target="_blank">'being (t)here'</a></b> makes me so happy. It changes with each location, and grows as I dream up new techniques and practices to add. Each one is different from the next. The poetry writing, though it fills some with trepidation, has become a rich and fulfilling part of the event. Participants still learn how to print on cloth and paper, but also develop more confidence in drawing and writing. Many tell me that they come away from our time together with a deeper knowledge of themselves and with a clearer vision of where they want to take their own work.<br />
<br />
Things like that fill me with a deep satisfaction, gratitude and the feeling that my time on this wondrous planet is not being entirely wasted.<br />
<br />
Next year will take me to France, Canada, New Zealand, and Scotland<br />
<br />
(look for an announcement soon about<br />

as well as (a little closer to home) Queensland and Western Australia. <br />
<br />
Maybe I'll see you somewhere out there?<br />

so grateful to the Murray Bridge Regional Gallery</div>

I took a few days on my own after teaching at Newburgh (the two reddish pix are details of 'shibusa felt', followed by printed paper and then some stitched and dyed organic eri+cotton cloth (acquired from Maiwa)<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
we had students from all over the whirled...both coasts of the USA, as well as the south-west, Australia, New Zealand , the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland, as well as lovely locals.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
all gathered together in happy community around a dye cauldron</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(and the delight, for me, of bilingual teaching...good practice!)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
then I sailed for Harris</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
where I exhumed <b><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BMZgHSeAy2I/?taken-by=prophet_of_bloom" target="_blank">last year's bundle</a></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and made a <b><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BYJHtuDlhT2/?taken-by=prophet_of_bloom" target="_blank">small film</a></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and thought about music</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it was hard to tear myself away</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but journeying through the Wester Ross brought other delights</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
notably the extraordinary Inverewe garden, just north of Gairloch</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
where I spent a happy morning dodging midges</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
home again</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was called west, to the Dryandra Woodland</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
where we had to step carefully, with tiny orchids underfoot</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and were required to apply for a permit to gather windfalls</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
because I can no longer teach in the USA</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(the current regime is not keen for wandering dye-stained gypsies)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
those who wish to spend time with me</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
may like to hop the pond to Scotland (November next year) where</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
plans are afoot for some new explorations (details to follow)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
