And lks, I’m going to Google silk painting when I have better internet access. If there’s a site with examples of what you like, you could post the URL here.

Can we embroider a painted silk Katy Bag and give it a knotted cord strap? Ohmygosh that sounds like fun!

What other crafts do I like? I make jewelry from knotted cords, especially Celtic designs. I love the unending aspect of the knots. I’ve tried to combine it with Celtic inspired needle work, but haven’t had a satisfiyingresult yet. I’m still looking for ways to do it.
Weaving is another fiber craft I love, but don’t do too much of. I do embroideries of Navajo rug designs- they adapt very well to needlework.

Writers? A common theme? Common stories?

Well, du-uh! It has to be Needle & Th*READ*! I’ll combine authors and embroidery designers.

Or maybe I’ll see how many needlearts/artists I can cram into a single project.

Or, or…

I felt the loss of the hop being over, too. It sure was fun.

Any chance you’ll host the next one?
