Some other fiber arts stuff might creep in too. There might be a bit of talk about waste/resources too, since most of my basketry and art materials are diverted from the waste stream.<br />plus I can show you stuff that inspires me by other folk and keep a list of useful blogs.<br /><br />I've got <a href="http://degzotherstuff.blogspot.com/">degzotherstuff</a> as a place for more general stuff I've been up to, random photos, sketches, land doodlings, stone balances etc. I don't know where else I'll go with that.degzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01352423054270352028noreply@blogger.com0
