You are too funny. I can't wait either. How am I going to keep my studio tidy for 5 days? I will have to work out on the deck!

So, today is work through the video outline day and figure out how many samples I need. Thank goodness I have watched all the quilting DIY shows. Don't they all have assistants? I am sure that Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims do not make their own samples. They must have assistants....hmmm, now where can I get an assistant? I wonder what my sister is doing? hmmm...

I can't wait to see the result either! Why, oh why didn't I loose that 50 pounds like I swore I would on New Year's Day? Oh well, I've lost 20 and that's a good start. And speaking of samples, do y'all have any idea how many it takes to film a 1 hour video? I have not appreciated the people who made videos before me. Thank you to all those people, those assistants everywhere that cranked out the samples. My assistants haven't shown up yet. LOL

It's the same old elf that keeps showing up! I mean ME! Wouldn't it be fun to "beam" ourselves around? I would love you coming over but I will settle for this contact until the young people figure out that "beaming" thing.

:D

Why don't you make a DVD of the class and sell it for a set price and we can purchase it for ourselves. Then we could play it when we need to. Renting it would only be for a short time and I would want a copy to refer back to.
How soon can we get one. I'm ready now. I want to do it now.

I will have a DVD of the class and a download and a rental. All three just as fast as I can make them. I film on Wens. and the videographer said it would take 2 weeks to edit. I plan on nagging him to get it done sooner.Poor guy, he had no idea what he was getting into with me....and all of you!
If you want to do something while you wait, for the DVD, start looking for your picture. Here are the main things for your piece to be successful.
1. High contrast. If your picture is too much of the same color and same value, it will be difficult to create with this method.
2. Chose a picture that has a distance perspective to it. In other words, something close, something in the middle distance and something far away. A road, a path, a river passing through the scene can give you perspective. Mountains in the distance help as well. Landscapes and flower gardens are the easiest things to create for your first piece but people have been successful with their pets IF the pet has high contrast in his markings. I have found great inspiration in my gardening magazines!
A good way to judge your picture ( in other words "does it have enough contrast?") is to make a black and white copy of it with your printer. Can you see all the main parts of the picture?
There, that ought to keep you busy for a while!
