<br />
My personal projects are all too often abandoned, sometimes when oh-so-close to being finished, due to the need to direct my full attention to some worthy cause or other. I love worthy-cause projects. They inspire and stimulate me. However, I do sometimes regret my inability to better balance my commitments.<br />
<br />
Nearly two years ago I built myself a new website, but it has sat there unlaunched ever since. All because I didn't make the time to find the key person to walk me through the complexities of changing my domain name and associated emails across to the new platform.<br />
<br />
I was unwilling to make the website visible until it had the correct domain address, but now it already needs updating and of course I am too busy with my current project to do that. So here is a sneak preview of my new (2 year old) website, still awaiting transfer to my correct domain name, but in the meantime available for viewing at its (hopefully) temporary address!<br />

The opening was a great finish to a very busy few days working alongside City of Wanneroo exhibition officer Murray and his team at the gallery, installing the exhibition. Here is what the gallery looked like a few days earlier. <br />

Murray had worked out a floor plan and built the space, arranging the portable wall panels to accommodate the artists' works.<br />

Textile works were carefully unrolled and spread out on drop sheets on the floor in readiness for positioning.<br />

Laying them out like this in the space is a useful way of finalising the hanging arrangement, as they can be seen together and easily moved around on their plastic dropsheets.<br />

<br />
Three years later, I've been invited to return to mount a major exhibition in the City's wonderful large Gallery space. I have invited six other artists to join me, both from within the City of Wanneroo and from further afield. We will all share stories of people and places important to us, with over 100 works on display in a variety of media including painting, cyanotype, jewellery, digital print and textiles.<br />

<br />
After two busy months of finalising arrangements as exhibition curator and administrator, as well as finishing my own artworks (well, I admit, I'm still stitching and printing!) the show is about to be installed. I am very excited by the wonderful work being shared by Angie Beck, Pam Annesley, Marjorie Colemen, Michele Eastwood, Elizabeth McCaig and Karen McClurkin. <br />
<br />
<i>TELLING STORIES of People and Place</i> opens on Friday 1st August at
6pm, at the Gallery, Wanneroo Library and Cultural Centre, cnr Dundebar
Rd and Rocca Way, Wanneroo. If you live close enough, I'd love to see

Yesterday I headed up the coast to Yanchep, for a lovely catch-up with artist friends I'd not seen since my residency last November. It turned out to be an auspicious choice of days to visit. Angie Beck, who made a number of sock dolls during the residency, was about to send one of them off on a world trip. </div>

With passport and bag all prepared, and an international itinerary set in place, Tully was about to embark on his journey. <br />

Tully was made from a Qantas travel sock that travelled from England to Australia about ten years ago. Worn by Angie in the cooler months, the sock had stretched a bit, so Angie decided to recycle it and send it back out to travel the globe in the form of Tully (who is wearing a shirt made from another old sock donated by a friend). </div>

Printed fabric by Angie, and our young visitor Molly. That's Molly's fabric on the left, specially impressive because this was her first ever printing session! <br />
Everyone who has visited the exhibition (approx 40 visitors so far) has been impressed by the amount and the quality of work produced by these talented locals. Well done everyone! Last chance to see the work is 11am - 4pm Sunday Dec 1st, at Capricorn Community House, 73 Lindsay Beach Bvd, Yanchep.

<br />
With my residency rapidly drawing to a close, I decided it was time to wash the ever-growing pile of beach finds<br />

It's quite an assortment - rope, shells, a float, containers, a wonderful block of drift wood (which has since been commandeered by a chap who thought "that piece of rubbish would make a great chock for my trailer!" I bowed to his greater need.........<br />

This is the first thing I collected at the lagoon. I had to squeeze behind the roadworks fence to retrieve it, but at 6am there was no danger of getting in the way of the workers who were yet to arrive. A broken plastic wheel trim or similar, it just begs to be turned into the base of a container.<br />

These treasures, drying on the line, were found at the Two Rocks Primary School fete - great piles of children's used socks at 20 cents per pair! I invested $2.20 and left the rest for others to enjoy, but suggested that any not sold be delivered to Renae for use in her classroom. (See <a href="http://wendylugg.blogspot.com.au/2013/11/creative-children-at-two-rocks-primary.html" target="_blank">an earlier post</a> for the sock and peg treasures Renae's class produced last week).

I had a busy time, talking to seven classes of attentive and appreciative students about the family heritage of making-do which inspires my work. Best of all was the final talk, to Ms Spowart's Year 3 class, where I had time to include a brief activity. Inspired by my family collection of old rag dolls and the sock dolls made during the residency, the children created a wonderful range of dolls and sock puppets using pegs, socks and a variety of scraps. I managed to get photos of some and also a few descriptions. I hope to have the whole class's dolls on display, with their stories, at the residency exhibition at the end of November (more on that in a later post). What a wonderful talented class! <br />

I hope some WAFTA members will visit. The air-conditioning will be pumping and kettle boiling in anticipation! Bring your lunch and some work, or even an old sock to give new life. I have plenty of threads for you to use. Local artist Angie Beck and I will each be showing several pieces from our collections of other textile artists' work, and I will have some old textiles as well as some of my own work. Plus you can meet the small community of sock dolls we've made over the last week or so. (see my previous post for the address).<br />

I will be sharing some favourite items from my collection of examples of making-do and mending. These include some family toys such as a train made from a tin can and a piece of wood, some rag dolls, and a small wooden kangaroo. I also have two small Japanese-made dolls, an elderly couple constructed with love and care from available resources including scraps of recycled fabric. Here is a sneak preview of these little treasures, as there were seen when first exhibited back in 2003 in my exhibition <i>Memoirs and Mementos</i>. <br />
<br />

I invite you to bring along a treasure of your own and share its story, whether it be an improvised garden tool or a mended kitchen item or perhaps a hand-made sewing project passed down through the family. These objects and their stories will contribute to a brief “pop-up museum” display for everyone to enjoy on the afternoon, before dispersing back home with their owners. One such treasure has already been delivered for your viewing pleasure, a bucket shower from a now-demolished beach shack but full of fond memories for the owner. Come along and find out who it belongs to and hear its story!

I guess the locals were still warm inside on a cool windy morning, or were preparing for the annual Melbourne Cup celebrations. <br />

The lagoon looks safe and protected to the unsuspecting, but those familiar with it know that its currents can be treacherous. <br />

Sadly, last week a young man disappeared in a rip at the lagoon and lost his life. The sea has not given him up, but by Tuesday it had washed ashore the remnants of the floral memorial tributes caste into the water some days earlier.<br />

I am now set up in my residency studio space. Yesterday's photography workshop, based on the understanding that pictures can tell stories too, was followed this morning by a photo ramble at Yanchep Lagoon. More on that in my next post. In the meantime, here is the timetable for the next two days. <br />
<br />
<b>Wednesday morning, 9am till noon </b> <br />
Fabric printing workshop to overprint some of TRYCAN's fabric stash. Put away today's Melbourne Cup finery and wear some work clothes. If you want to bring a little of your own plain coloured cotton fabric that's fine but not essential, as everything is provided, no charge. If you want to stay on and print into the afternoon, bring your lunch. <br />
Venue - Capricorn Community House<br />
73 Lindsay Beach Boulevard Yanchep <br />
(enter car park from Azure Mews)<br />
<br />
<b>Thursday morning, 9am till noon</b><br />
OPEN HOUSE - All welcome<br />
Recycle one of your odd socks, and join me to make a sock doll inspired by my little vintage treasure shown in a previous post - scroll down and you'll find it! Bring a clean odd sock, the most important item, and hand-sewing supplies, old buttons and embroidery threads if you like, but I have plenty of supplies to share. <br />

I anticipate a very busy November during which I will spend much of my time in Yanchep. I will be finding inspiration in the landscape and also in local and personal family histories of improvisation and making do, as I prepare for an exhibition next year titled <i>Telling stories, of people and place</i>. <br />
<br />
I am looking forward to working with Yanchep artists and community members, focusing on ways of telling stories through photography, stitch and print, and preparing for a local exhibition at the end of the residency. <br />

There will be a series of photo rambles, and we will also make a whole community of characterful little ‘sock dolls’ that tell stories about life and also about the creative possibilities of using found and recycled resources. I hope people will either donate those forlorn odd socks that seem to inhabit every home, or better still join me in sock doll stitching sessions. <br />

If this little fellow could talk, I'm sure he'd have an interesting story to tell. I found him at a Kansas estate sale a decade ago, whilst in the US attending the biennial Surface Design Association conference. I'll be talking more about the residency as it progresses. Apart from the walks, all activities will be held at Capricorn Community House, 73 Lindsay Beach Boulevard, Yanchep (enter car park from Azure Mews). <br />

So, with my painter friend <a href="http://ditaylor.com.au/index.asp">Di Taylor</a>, I applied for a temporary studio space which had become available in the city as part of an initiative by <a href="http://www.artsource.net.au">Artsource</a> and the City of Perth to bring working artists into the city. Much to our delight we were the successful applicants and we have the use of this wonderful space for two months, courtesy of the building owners the Hawaiian Group.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wendylugg/2816721615/" title="Parmelia studio 1 by wendylugg, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3035/2816721615_39ff66dbf9_o.jpg" alt="Parmelia studio 1" height="267" width="400" /></a><br />Our studio work space<br /><br />The studio is huge, over 200 square metres, and in a prominent position in Parmelia House. The front five metres of the main studio space is glass street frontage, so we are using this as display space.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wendylugg/2816853429/" title="Parmelia studio 8 by wendylugg, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3190/2816853429_3d3bfde2db_o.jpg" alt="Parmelia studio 8" height="236" width="400" /></a><br />The front display area of the studio with my works 'Patch Work VI' and 'Aftermath' on the left and Di's painting 'Pink Lemonade Evening' on the right.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wendylugg/2817705072/" title="Parmelia studio 9 by wendylugg, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3203/2817705072_33832b2cd5_o.jpg" alt="Parmelia studio 9" height="311" width="400" /></a><br />Again, my textile work juxtaposed with Di's painting<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wendylugg/2817573658/" title="Parmelia studio 2 by wendylugg, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3208/2817573658_824edca9d4_o.jpg" alt="Parmelia studio 2" height="259" width="400" /></a><br />Yes, that is ALL our studio as far as you can see!<br /><br />What we did NOT anticipate was the stripping of the opaque film from the 17 metres of internal arcade windows, exposing our work space, and work habits, to the world! We have hung more work in these windows, but there is plenty of room to see us work nonetheless.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wendylugg/2816936181/" title="Parmelia studio 17 by wendylugg, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3104/2816936181_1c1538236a_o.jpg" alt="Parmelia studio 17" height="316" width="400" /></a><br /><br />We leave the doors open to encourage people to visit, and gradually they are feeling more comfortable about doing this.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wendylugg/2816933065/" title="Parmelia studio 13 by wendylugg, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2380/2816933065_da74f080d2_o.jpg" alt="Parmelia studio 13" height="301" width="400" /></a><br />The view through the side door<br /><br />The studio is providing me with the luxury of physical space to spread out, but even more important is the mental space it affords to escape from my other commitments and focus on exploring ideas and processes as I contemplate commencing a new body of textile work. I don't need much space to MAKE work, but I need a lot of space to think and plan.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wendylugg/2816853955/" title="Parmelia studio 10 by wendylugg, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3012/2816853955_5c2603bd0f_o.jpg" alt="Parmelia studio 10" height="300" width="400" /></a><br />That activity requires me to spread fabric out all over the place as I play with various possibilities, and even just rediscover what I have in the way of resources.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wendylugg/2816854459/" title="Parmelia studio 11 by wendylugg, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2350/2816854459_264fe2c04e_o.jpg" alt="Parmelia studio 11" height="275" width="400" /></a><br />My portable foam pin-up boards are proving very useful<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wendylugg/2816935537/" title="Parmelia studio 16 by wendylugg, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3196/2816935537_9615217d09_o.jpg" alt="Parmelia studio 16" height="480" width="400" /></a><br />and my vintage clothes airer is perfect for stacking ironed fabrics<br /><br />It's early days yet, but if at the end of the eight weeks I feel I have some idea of where I am headed, then the time will have been very well spent.Wendy Lugghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05332953506726905088noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10334411.post-36719068495949782252008-04-14T21:07:00.001+08:002008-04-14T22:20:13.636+08:00An afternoon of discoveryFollowing on from my previous post, here are further images from my Jetty Series , some of which appeared in the "Connecting Threads" exhibition.<br /><br />My work evolves from my life experiences.<span style=""> </span>Walking the length of the Bussleton Jetty on a bleak grey afternoon, I was drawn by the unfolding stories in the jetty’s surface. <br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wendylugg/2351366339/" title="IMG_6074_400 by wendylugg, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2225/2351366339_92e626ffef_o.jpg" alt="IMG_6074_400" height="532" width="400" /></a><br /><br />They spoke of life.<span style=""> </span><br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wendylugg/2352215452/" title="IMG_5542_400 by wendylugg, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2419/2352215452_758e713e4f_o.jpg" alt="IMG_5542_400" height="283" width="400" /></a><br /><p class="MsoNormal">The jetty is aged and weathered, bearing the scars of hard times and makeshift repairs. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wendylugg/2352215784/" title="IMG_5561_crop_400 by wendylugg, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2025/2352215784_f0e784dc03_o.jpg" alt="IMG_5561_crop_400" height="305" width="400" /></a><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">There is evidence of the occasional left hand turn <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wendylugg/2352196394/" title="IMG_5587_400 by wendylugg, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2320/2352196394_6b5d3ea985_o.jpg" alt="IMG_5587_400" height="496" width="400" /></a><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">and even a little blood letting.<span style=""> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wendylugg/2352195202/" title="IMG_5548_400 by wendylugg, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3121/2352195202_cba13a650d_o.jpg" alt="IMG_5548_400" height="533" width="400" /></a></span><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">The jetty wears all these marks with dignity and grace.<span style=""> </span>A lifetime of hard experience has enriched this wonderful old structure, ensuring that an afternoon spent in its company is a deeply rewarding experience. <br /></p>Wendy Lugghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05332953506726905088noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10334411.post-84565883033450663462008-03-22T21:16:00.008+09:002008-04-14T22:29:57.055+08:00Jetty SuiteIn the "Connecting Threads" exhibition I followed a path to which I am increasingly drawn, of showing both textiles and photographic images.

Marjorie Colemen, Margery Goodall, and Cherry Johnston live and work in my home town of Perth, Western Australia. I count these women among my closest friends and colleagues.<br /><br />While our art practices are independent and varied, we have formed a strong bond through our shared focus on working with stitched layered textiles. We meet regularly, taking advantage of the opportunity this affords to exchange information, share ideas, and engage in lively and stimulating discussion.<br /><br />All of us exhibit internationally and have travelled extensively, but we are happy to be based in Western Australia. We don't see Perth's isolation as a disadvantage in a world where communication is so easy.<br /><br />After working together over the years on other people's projects, we realised it was time we mounted our own joint exhibition. <span style="font-style: italic;">Connecting threads</span> was held in September 2007 at the Gallery at Ellenbrook, as part of <a href="http://www.artopia.net.au/">Artopia</a>, the biennial festival celebrating the talent of Western Australian artists.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wendylugg/2150662002/" title="CTinstal1_400 by wendylugg, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2070/2150662002_01c4d69e71_o.jpg" width="400" height="230" alt="CTinstal1_400" /></a><br />I exhibited both textile works and photographic images.

As the year draws to a close and life calms down a little, some retrospective jotting seems in order.<br /><br />The time leading up to my trip to India was especially busy. In between mounting two exhibitions here in Western Australia (more on those on a later occasion), I participated in the selection of works for an exhibition initiated by Ozquilt Network, Australia's national organisation for art quilters. <span style="font-style: italic;">Australia Wide </span>was designed to showcase the talents of Ozquilt Network's members and to demonstrate the scope of art quiltmaking in Australia.<br /><br />As a juror, I was also invited to exhibit. My quilt <span style="font-style: italic;">Jetty Suite 4 </span>, like all works in the exhibition, is 40 cm square. Made from recycled blankets, it was inspired by the weathered wood and rusty painted surfaces of the Busselton jetty.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wendylugg/2148948452/" title="JettySuite4_400 by wendylugg, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2267/2148948452_fd96d45628_o.jpg" alt="JettySuite4_400" height="400" width="400" /></a><br /><br />a detail of <span style="font-style: italic;">Jetty Suite 4</span><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wendylugg/2148929406/" title="JettySuite4detail_400 by wendylugg, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2351/2148929406_414d24cb7e_o.jpg" alt="JettySuite4detail_400" height="309" width="400" /></a><br /><br />I always feel honoured to be invited to jury a show, a process which brings equal measure of pleasure and weighty responsibility. In this instance, the selection process was a long distance affair, with the three jurors scattered from coast to coast, across 3,000 kilometres and three different time zones. The cost of bringing us together would have been prohibitive, but with the wonders of modern technology we were able to view the images via a CD slideshow on our computer screens and communicate with each other via email.<br /><br />This was an interesting means of jurying, much more protracted than my previous jurying experiences. A process which is necessarily confined to several intense hours when the jurors are brought together within the confines of one room was extended to days, as we each in our own time viewed the works and reported our initial response, then discussed, reviewed and negotiated until we reached a final consensus via numerous email communications. I appreciated having the luxury of viewing the works repeatedly over a number of days, so that decisions made were more fully considered than is usually possible.<br /><br />As well as touring to venues around Australia, <span style="font-style: italic;">Australia Wide</span> can be viewed on Ozquilt Network's website, <a href="http://www.ozquiltnetwork.org.au/">www.ozquiltnetwork.org.au</a> I urge you to take a look, there is a wonderful variety of work to be seen.Wendy Lugghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05332953506726905088noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10334411.post-53422762352426666272007-11-05T07:40:00.000+09:002007-12-11T12:33:25.904+09:00NajibabadI am high as a kite, floating on the euphoria of savouring a wonderful experience.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wendylugg/2050145582/" title="NI&W400 by wendylugg, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2322/2050145582_06f1937667_o.jpg" alt="NI&W400" height="443" width="400" /></a><br /><br />I've just flown home from India, where I have been visiting a young friend. My friend Intekhab is a rafoogar, a darner of Kashmiri shawls. He comes from a long line and large extended family of rafoogars, who for generations have devoted themselves to restoring these old and precious textiles.<br /><br />Our friendship was formed early in 2006 when we undertook a joint residency in Ballarat Victoria, along with Intekhab's fellow rafoogar Zakir, as part of the Common Goods project. You can learn about this project and discover what we did during our residency by following the links at the right to the website and blog respectively.<br /><br />I speak no Hindi. Intekhab speaks a little English. He is of the Muslim faith, a young man the same age as my daughter. We would seem to have very little in common except our shared interest in mending old cloth. Even there, our attitude differs. Intekhab is trained to mend invisibly, to remove from the cloth any trace of the passing of time. My interest in mended cloth lies in exposing the effects of aging, allowing the marks to tell the story of the life the cloth has led. I am very happy for the mends to remain visible.<br /><br />Yet this young man and I, as we collaborated on a work for Common Goods, formed a bond which has stood the test of time and distance. Intekhab has phoned me from India every few months, to ask about my family and my health, and even to offer me Christmas greetings on Christmas Day, each time urging me to visit him and his home town of Najibabad, 200 kilometres north east of Delhi.<br /><br />How could I refuse such an enticing offer? So of we went, my husband and I, to Delhi, and to Rajasthan, and then finally north to Najibabad. We met Intekhab's family and friends, who made us very welcome. We visited Intekhab's workshop, and those of his extended family and colleagues, where we saw the results of the rafoogars' very special skills and creativity.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wendylugg/2049362859/" title="Nworkshp400 by wendylugg, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2289/2049362859_0f9fe33ed0_o.jpg" alt="Nworkshp400" height="531" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wendylugg/2049360875/" title="Nshawl2_400 by wendylugg, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2081/2049360875_5ba9096457_o.jpg" alt="Nshawl2_400" height="300" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wendylugg/2050147030/" title="Nwork1_400 by wendylugg, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2098/2050147030_b720744be9_o.jpg" alt="Nwork1_400" height="427" width="400" /></a><br /><br />We were taken touring to visit local landmarks which spoke of the history of the town. Intekhab's family welcomed us into their home, where we experienced great hospitality and generosity. We shared a special meal cooked by Intekhab's mother. Intekhab's father kindly showed us some of his treasured old Kashmiri shawl fragments.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wendylugg/2049361853/" title="Nfragments1_400 by wendylugg, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2073/2049361853_98ae079661_o.jpg" alt="Nfragments1_400" height="288" width="400" /></a><br /><br />I was given a precious gift of two embroidered strips of centuries-old shawl.

Thankyou Alison for your kind comment. Alison spoke of my 1998 quilt 'Tidemark, Cape Tribulation', which she saw in the book 'Quilting Masterclass' written by Katharine Guerrier. 'Tidemark' was inspired by a walk along the beach at Cape Tribulation in northern Queensland, where the rain-forest sweeps right down onto the sand. The tidemark is a crazy jumble of rainforest detritus such as twigs, seedpods and leaves which overwhelm the usual seaweed and shells.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wendylugg/798047864/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1384/798047864_af67c11c83_o.jpg" alt="BeachTidemark2blog" height="284" width="400" /></a><br />Rain-forest litter is washed back up onto the beach by the tide.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wendylugg/798042996/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1191/798042996_c7b6e3ff6d_o.jpg" alt="BeachTidemark1blog" height="269" width="400" /></a><br />This image taken at the high tide mark sparked the idea for my quilt 'Tidemark, Cape Tribulation'.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wendylugg/799662183/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1354/799662183_2363280887_o.jpg" alt="Tidemark" height="520" width="400" /></a><br />'Tidemark, Cape Tribulation'<br />72 x 92 cm (28 x 36 inches)<br />printed, pieced, appliqued, embroidered<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wendylugg/799666829/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1420/799666829_6a8f2eef49_o.jpg" alt="Tidemarkdetail" height="501" width="400" /></a><br />detailWendy Lugghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05332953506726905088noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10334411.post-3816529352269949422007-04-15T07:02:00.000+08:002007-04-19T20:55:07.225+08:00Afloat<div align="center"><a title="Photo Sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wendylugg/464793241/"></a></div><p align="center"><a title="Photo Sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wendylugg/464793159/"><img height="300" alt="esperance400p" src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/232/464793159_9155c81367_o.jpg" width="400" /></a></p><p align="left">Today, with the dawn, I gently dip my toe in the water. </p><p>After resisting the incoming tide for so long, I am finally tempted to plunge into this vast sea of words and images.
