Oh but that sky can be so blue! On the sunny days. The sunny days are also the colder days. So very deceiving! Yet, cold is not so very cold this winter. I am happy for that.
I am stitching away on the last of my Pay it Forward pieces. Once all that is finished and they are on the way to new homes I am turning my sights towards the stack of unfinished works.
Not to say that I will be finishing some or any of them.
Some will be altered. Some tossed aside.
I am just itching to try some new things out.
Some people start the new year off with a resolution.
Or a word for inspirations.
A word I can live with.
Resolutions will be revolutions.
Rebellions.
I am going to
FORGET ALL THE RULES.
Now there are some who would say that should be easy for me...
shhhhhhh.
I hear rules in my head when it comes to art.
to quilting.
to fibers.
So I am going to turn a deaf ear to them all.
and do what ever my heart wants.
frayed edges? Oh hell yeah!
big stitches? you betcha!
weird stuff that doesn't belong attached to fabric? yessirree.
Paints inks threads beads crayons will come out to play.
I am going to experiment, branch out, play play play!
So that pile of unfinished fiber objects will grow. That much I am sure of.
I am going to be like a feather in the wind.
land wherever I land.
and dance right there
until a wind sends me
elsewhere...

Wow! This sounds exciting. I'm looking forward to seeing what comes of this play. Do you have anything in mind yet about what to attach to fabric that shouldn't be attached? I'm very intrigued by that.
Way to Go! My one rule has always been to "do whatever works." ;-)
Hi, Karen. I applaud! I enjoy playing around, too--right now I have a pile of tiny scraps from recent projects sitting on the floor collecting dust. I leave them there on purpose so that I'll get so annoyed that I'll sit down and stitch them onto a background fabric with total absence of design ideas--the results are always interesting. You have a good plan!
best, nadia
Wonderful 'resolution'! Throw caution to the wind and fly!!!
may you grow new wings
