What a design inspiration - the loo in Judith Baker Montano's studio - which comprises a wall of books (opposite said loo) although no one was in there long enough to be able to make a decision. Surrounded by fat quarters and magazines it was almost tempting to stay in there ... a great way to use extra space and the handbasin was a gorgeous ceramic hand painted and oh-so New Mexico - perhaps from the Jesus Sale we attended - another form of inspiration for another blog ... the real lesson for me was to maximise all available space - no matter where it is!

| Judith's garden ... |
...
High desert country gardens have lots of .... pebbles, rock and stone. Whether it's the altitude, the way the sun filters through or simply a lot of love ... the colours of flowers, any other flora and weeds is electric. Beautiful colour combinations that smack you in the face - no need for the colour wheel here - nature demonstrates the possibilities and I'll try to capture some of that in future works.

| Fencing al la La Veta |
Design inspiration is everywhere - and there's no need to go overseas to find it - perhaps it's the heightened awareness that you'll never be back in that place, at that time ever again that ensures I take the camera everywhere ... I loved this fencing in La Veta. Not sure what it would keep in, or out but it was exquisitely constructed and I can see the lines and miles of it travelling over a project.
Time to get cracking while I have a few weeks left to contemplate fabric, thread and completion of a few "on the go" projects.
