It really helps that you do such vivid and nice paintings, and I like the header you've designed also. I think you could put links to all your other websites and blogs in the sidebar. Then like I wrote Emmie, one way you do circular writing is to mention another painting or technique that's related on another one of your websites. Get people to go look at your other stuff, don't bury it! Also now you need to get a Gravatar, I think you're using Blogger so that should be easy. Keep up the good work!

I think you really have to express your true self, and if it looks cartoony, so be it! Thanks for the encouragement to keep blogging.

When you post one of your beautiful flower photos or quilts, you could give readers a link at the bottom of the post to your floral fantasy workshop. Or provide a link to some of your other flower quilts on your website. Doesn't have to be much, but it could remind people (like me:) to take a look at your beautiful website: http://www.emmieseaman.com Hi Emmie, I just thought of a simple way you could start.

I started one for my painting - well, honestly, it was a quicker way to put something new up than a complete redesign of the old, and now very dated, website. I like the way it allows me to put words and images together, and to tell stories about the work. It's up at http://www.karenlynningalls.com. I also had begun keeping one for my painting students last May, without telling anyone at first, because I wanted to make sure I'd be able to keep it up regularly. I wasn't always publishing images with each post, but I know what a difference they make. I'm going to do better! And now I'm telling my students about it. That blog is at http://napavalleyartcamp.com. Thank you for your posts! I have learned so much from reading them. The whole concept of circular writing is such an interesting one - I look forward to seeing how this evolves for me, too. I hope that my blogs become as interesting, as engaging, and as informative as yours! Yes, Pam, I did start a blog!

It's my inspiration to keep making my own "cartoony" quilts that so many people had told me wasn't real art. Seeing your work and reading your blog lets me know I'm not alone.
