Kaffe Fasett talks about how he designs (needlepoint)--for someone (you love).

He says he can hold 5-6 ref pieces in his head. James Michener said he can hold about 40 books in his head before he starts writing his novels. I can hold "the voice" for a few minutes.
I can hold a few articles, more if it's a non-fiction work or an argument.
He also talks about his wall hangings as "a window into a fantastical world."
That is what I feel exactly about my paintings and my written work--and the dream I encase myself in when I wear my own handmade art jackets or opera coats or shawls--some from fabrics that belonged to me, my mother or beloved aunt.
Each piece holds many memories and are parts of new ones.
No one can touch me when I am wearing this armor.
Everyone listens to what I have to say.
