Acknowledgements I would like to thank friends Sue and Di, who without hesitation have always given me help and support whenever I have floundered. Thanks also to David and Shelley for their friendship, for always making the time to photograph my work, and for dragging me into this century so that this book has been easier to assemble.<BR><BR>I also wish to thank Katie Chester for knitting things together and sitting through all the step-by-steps with the patience of a saint, and Roddy Paine for his expert photography. Many thanks tc Roz Dace for commissioning this book, and Juan Hayward for making sense of all my paraphernalia both of whom do more than I know. Thanks also to the students who appreciate the hard work tha goes into painting and never fail to say so; withou you this book would be not only impossible but pointless. I thank you all.<BR><BR>To my husband Barry and sons Matt and Duncan, all my thanks, especially my son Matt for sorting out the computer time after time without a murmur and for tackling any scheme I happen to come up with without even flinching.<BR><BR>And finally to friends, with love, without whom tomorrow would be just another day.
