Rachel Collins from Art Propelled
Overthinking. Overworking. These are the two points at which my art works come to a complete halt or fail miserably. I am at that point with two pieces.
I need to let them both go. And....perhaps that is what I did with the unfinished items in the Attic? Let them go. I could not see a clear path forward for the work in progress, and instead of continuing to "get it wrong", I just stopped and packed it up.
Which is why none of the fabrics used are packed up with the UFO.
And also, the things I am wanting to make, the style of them, might not be "for me". I may have to dig my way onto my own path. Again. I am forever "falling for" the work of others. Sigh.
My eyes went "greasy" again as I read my way thru a very good book. A Twist in Time by Julie McElwain. If you like mysterious time travel, you'll like this. Maybe. This is book two. The first is A Murder in Time. I do not put up with badly written books. Or books with crap plot lines.
As to my eyes--I have fingers crossed that my new lenses arrive soon?
Now....back to the sewing machine and my little 3 inch squares. When nothing else is working--the little squares usually calm me down. I'll be sewing strips of three to other strips of three.
Teaching a class on Edible Landscaping this weekend. No one has signed up as of today so we'll see how it turns out?
