I would move back to Korea and work/create there.  Many fabrics are printed there, which is great for my creating.  Also, there are so many beautiful and inspiring tranquil settings.  The holidays are different, the food is amazing and the lifestyle relaxed.  The people there are absolutely wonderful.  Sure, I don’t speak more than 7 or 8 phrases in Korean… but I do love it there.  I would focus on my sewing and devote all the extra not-sewing time to drawing.

Thanks so much to all who commented ~ it was a fun question, and I was blown away by the number of people who responded.  I enjoyed reading everyone’s thoughts.

My answer would have to be Paris.  There is something absolutely magical about that city and there is inspiration everywhere you look.  I think I would focus on sketching & watercoloring on location ~ that way I could incorporate my love of walking all over Paris with actually working!

In other news…

I just returned late last night from a short stay in Maggie Valley, NC.  I will post a photo journal in the near future for those of you who love leaf peepin’ like I do!  Here’s a tease….

The colors were breathtaking and the weather was cool & comfortable.  We did have one rainy day, but that didn’t stop us from hiking!  Yesterday morning when we left at 10:00 a.m. it was  38°!  Brrrrr!

When I got home I was excited to see a Fedex delivery from Casey Matthews.  I discovered this artist’s studio in Fernandina Beach this summer and fell in love with her work.  I can’t afford one of her evocative paintings at the moment, so when she offered these two fine art prints for sale on her blog, I jumped on them!

I am looking forward to framing & hanging ASAP!  (she may still have some left ~ hurry!)

Ok, so I’d better get busy catching up ~ more soon!
