I loved looking at your studio on flickr, it's amazing! Is it the one that's going to be on the cover of the Paper Cloth Scissors Studio edition? I think mine will be inside for one of the features. I haven't had a chance to comment on any of your photos or blog yet, you're so prolific! Thanks for the tip on the moth holes. Now I have another excuse to buy an embellisher! the cost is low compared to the clothes I'm going to have to throw away! Hi Sara,

I saw you in the CD of Quilting Arts TV. I also like the computer drawn lines. But I don't know what you would do with the other ones! perhaps it would look great too or even greater if you have a special clue how to do it! (I kind of waggle at it!). This nice picture remember me to give a tip on moth holes, you just need to run lightly the embellisher (eventually with a little bit of wool roving) from the back over them and they disappear!! I will often visit your blog! Hi Pam,

It is the clean, flat style that I associate with your work. It surprises me to say so, but I like the computer drawn lines. It is the clean, flat style that I associate with your work.

I don't use a computer tracing program. I sketch with a pen or brush, scan it, and then draw on top of it with my wacom tablet. That way I have control over the whole process. You can get some great effects though using Live Trace. It's fun to play with. Thanks for all the input!

I like elements of both. I certainly have had enough of computer graphics in every genre (fabric, art, wallpaper, ...), things that are just too perfect! It's certainly why I prefer the first, I can see your artist's hand, the varying width of the lines makes it come alive. I like the second because the colors are extremely saturated, especially the blacks. When I study Estes' cartoons he's very good at calibrating the black (or computer enhancing it!) and it works. I'm curious if you're using Live Trace with Illustrator to generate the second version. My daughter is having very good results with scanning her drawings so she can color them but still preserving the character of her hand.

Even when I convert my drawings to computer lines, I do try to preserve the original gestures and spontaneity. Thanks Judy, astute observation.
