I'd love to see what you finally decided on in more detail.<BR/><BR/>Also, thank you for your sketching tips! My sketches are usually just good enough to get my point across (I think - maybe they don't even do that). They tend to be very geometric... starting from a picture in a magazine is a great idea and might help me break away from the standard front and back views.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03612150561305398411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015647452516526528.post-29110264785249407982007-03-21T09:23:00.000-07:002007-03-21T09:23:00.000-07:00This is a wonderful entry, Angela.

I'm interested to see if you have any tips on figuring out where to put decreases - why certain areas work better than others, etc., that you can share with everyone. I know that a lot of this is trial and error, but I'd love to hear your thoughts.<BR/><BR/>I think that those of us who have published should probably get in a few posts about publishing designs, and I think your comments on rejection are right on the money. Rejection is simply part of the process, and not something to worry about in the big scheme of things. Plus sometimes rejection is really just an opportunity in disguise. Self-publishing can end up being more fulfilling and lucrative than going through the traditional channels.<BR/><BR/>Finally, I draw terribly, so your sketching tips are much appreciated. Going to a fashion mag for the basic form is a great tip.<BR/><BR/>xox, JJulia (MindofWinter)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13380850788576680975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015647452516526528.post-25604345959098619872007-03-20T17:03:00.000-07:002007-03-20T17:03:00.000-07:00I really admire your tenacity in coping with the i...I really admire your tenacity in coping with the issue of decreasing in the lace pattern. Watching your creative process is very educational and I am really enjoying the evolution of your project.<BR/><BR/>:)Ruinwen Dagoriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17838849121945131543noreply@blogger.com
