It's always useful to find out what other writers and artists think about their work. This, from the writer Rosemary Sutcliff:
"The temptation is to try & use everything youāve found out inā¦research. That can be fatal, because youā¦only need to use about 1/10. Itāsā¦like an icebergā¦It has to be there, because it gives you the freedom of the period. But you donāt use it.ā
This has some relevance to my planning of embroidery projects, especially the #OpusAnglicanum. I need to know something about it, but I'm not trying to do a period-accurate piece, so I have to be a bit careful about what I include of what I know. As I make plans for the border for the #AethelflaedEmbroidery, it is good that that has come to the surface again.
