At the beginning of November last year I started trying to get a group of people together to work on challenge themes to produce a piece of textile art. On November 14th the website Use Your Eyes was launched thanks to the hard work of my DH Sqeze. The group has had some fluctuation in members in our short life span to date, but I hope we are now, for the time being, stable numbers.
Our first theme was Carnival and we published the results on the blog yesterday. Ash Wednesday being the first day of lent and the end to the carnival season. I am interested to learn what our next theme will be. Seeing my idea take on form, and most of all, the exciting results the group made of our first theme will encourage me to try harder myself next time, to push out the stops a bit more.
