Artists that inspires me: www.kaffefassett.com - I learned to knit with color by watching a TV show about him, and love his use of color. His books are better than the site. www.ruthbmcdowell.com - an amazing quilt artist. Her books 'art & inspiration' and 'Piecing' are my favorites.
Debbie New - I could not find her web site. Her book 'Unexpected knitting' brings new thoughts as to what the knitting concept is.
Itchiku kubota - a 'Japanese kimono maker' does not start to describe his work or his passion and commitment to it. The book 'opulance' and 'Homage to Nature' are great, but there is nothing like seeing his art in real life.
Lauren Child - Children books and the Charlie&Lola movies, I just love it and her sense of color and shapes. It's not everybody's cup of tea, but it is my cup of cocoa, with the cream and all the goodies on top! Her site: http://www.milkmonitor.com/main.htm
