As <br /> for back as I can remember, 1 loved to draw. My grandmother was <br /> h especially encouraging of our drawing talent, supplying each of <br /> her grandkids at an early age with our very own sketchbooks For us <br /> to draw in when we came to stay for summer visits. !can still recall <br /> those soft-cover books with their protective tissue paper sheets bound between the sketch paper pages; <br /> they made our artwork feel important. My earliest memories were my drawings of pipe-smoking gnomes <br /> and their toadstool homes complete with tiny doorways and stovepipe chimneys, a popular, albeit <br /> peculiar, subject for many little girls my age growing up in Holland. <br /> http://www.studio200.us/fiber--mixed-media.htmi <br />
