Each time, one of you write to said you have read my story, it is like taking that special walk , side by side, just you and me, sharing something very specifically mine. That's such an honour, really, for every storyteller, isn't it? To have someone willing to listen to your story. :)<br /><br />Ilona, I was told when I bought the lotus that in Thailand, they use a special kind of clay for their flowers. It is thin and can be made rather realistically. I use to only love paper flowers but the lotus had helped changed my mind.

And you know what I was thinking when I was "kneading"? I was thinking of the story you told me about how to make bread and how you had to keep bringing the dough out to knead everyday and how after a while, you feel like you had a relationship with that dough so much so that the pile of dough even had a name.

They come alive only when you read them. <br /><br />I was just reading this book "The art of not making" . It is essentially about artists who don't make their own art but collaborate with artisans (eg glassblowers etc) who make everything for them. <br /><br />The author related how many of these "appropriation artists" (very clever description I thought) are influenced by Barthes. He was a French theorist who declared "the death of the author" . In a nutshell, what he is saying is a story does not have a single interpretation, ie that of what the author intends. It's the reader who with each reading gives the story ts meaning because the work depends on the impressions of each reader, rather than the passions or taste of the writer. It is therefore the reader who "writes" the text, he said . :):):)<br /><br />Sans!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07142349451568183257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254510705233595277.post-60940131715042592542013-04-05T18:49:54.909+08:002013-04-05T18:49:54.909+08:00Sandra :):), you and me both, we just love that &q...Sandra :):), you and me both, we just love that "old air", don't we? <br /><br />"Old air" is a truly charming yet succinct way to describe it.Sans!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07142349451568183257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254510705233595277.post-69453446843040632582013-04-05T18:39:53.051+08:002013-04-05T18:39:53.051+08:00Victoria, thank you :):).
