Thanks, Martina. I'm lucky in that I have a local art gallery that seems to like these experimental pieces, which is a nice confidence booster. That plus a photographer friend who retired and had lots of fabric he'd used as props for his commercial photos--he gifted me with huge quantities of fabric that he didn't need anymore, so I ended up with lots of velvets, silk and polyester satins, poly/cotton and linen solids that I wouldn't have bought on my own--it was trying to figure out what to do with all those different kinds of fabrics that got me moving toward the more experimental end of things.
