Hi Lyn, I agree with almost everything you say, except that I had a slightly different experience at the start--"I understood the structure of the Plain White picture better because" I started with colored threads helping me analyze the thread paths in the plain white stuff. I confess I am now beginning to think of going back to color for aesthetic reasons, but I still think a creative analytical teacher could combine the two uses of color. (And JSB is also my favorite by a mile.) Nancy Connecticut, USA

What I'm trying to say is that colors and modern have their place, and a good place it is, too, but the tried and true, plain white and old stuff, lasted this long because of what it had to offer. And my favorite 'songwriter' is J.S. Bach. > >Lyn in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, US, where I'm resting up in the air conditioning. Tomorrow night will be no air conditioning in Foggy Bottom.
