I love Betty’s suggestion of using unconventional materials. It’s something I'm always trying to do, but I didn’t have enough courage to take the challenge. I look forward to taking this opportunity to step out of my comfort zone.

I am skilled in creating with commercial cottons. I like the patterns and
colors on them, and I love to make them become lovely works by sewing.

During my stay in Portland for SAQA conference this year, I visited a
museum. There was an exhibition about costume of the 18th and 19th century. The
materials and techniques caught my eye. I look forward to changing my use of
materials in this challenge.
