These are quite 'slippery' looking, which is a good thing! :)<br /><br />Sketches free us up and help us work out the kinks before tackling a major piece. I think you're very wise to do a number of sketches to help you decide where you want to go.Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704279171808207164.post-37114613770699005452010-03-10T22:30:50.237+00:002010-03-10T22:30:50.237+00:00I think the word "studies" and "sma...I think the word "studies" and "small" really helps with finding joy in the work.
