Qualitative research is a method of inquiry appropriated in many different academic disciplines, traditionally in the social sciences, but also in market research and further contexts.[1] Qualitative researchers aim to gather an in-depth understanding of human behavior and the reasons that govern such behavior. The qualitative method investigates the why and how of decision making, not just what, where, when. Hence, smaller but focused samples are more often needed, rather than large samples.
Qualitative methods produce information only on the particular cases studied, and any more general conclusions are only hypotheses (informative guesses). Quantitative methods can be used to verify, which of such hypotheses are true

This blog thing is still causing me problems: I am restricting what I put up here, and in a sense neglecting my hardback sketchbook. I will have to employ discipline.
Each time I settle down to add to this I feel as if I am speaking to another - I am telling someone, so I need to write correctly, spell correctly and be careful of going off on a tangent!
Anyway yesterday was spent in the plaster room, casting. : ) I am half way through casting my stapler - I have made a very beautiful mould in plaster of paris. I also cast my finger, finger print and hand prints. I thought the hand print seemed quite childlike however when I placed the half finger in it It became a bit FREEKY!
The casting has inspired the possibility of perhaps scultping some of the minute parts of the human. My eyelash, a cell. Possibly a stem cell?
I just came across this image of eyelash flowers:

I have also been considering the use of maps, a collection of all the addresses I have ever lived at. A record of the journey. I notice that Victoria Burge has explored mapping too:
Hmmm.
Anyway best go, got things to get on with see you tomorrow Jim ( I have checked and double checked the day!).
"Bu-Bye"
crastinating a little and since "Farmville" wouldn't let me harvest or build I decided to go on PEM space. A really useful idea.... I can across this link http://www.davidshrigley.com/ Well I came across a link to an animation about sweaters - I really like it!

Unfortunately this was not the image I was looking at however it falls into the same theme.
I don't really know what to post up here, in a way I feel I am writing to someone. On the other hand this is an attempt at a digital sketchbook. By their nature sketchbooks are not accurate, but I feel obliged to attempt to write in the best English I can.
