Daily Notes- November 23

                                     

Some changes.  There was too much of the coral.  That little yellow bit was too heavy and needed to rotate to the bottom right (it might have a short life span on this cloth).  DebL's delightful speckled cloth needed to frame the edges and I was so happy there were splotches of yellow.  The edges are untrimmed because I have no idea where this goes.  But it came this far.  In the past hour or so.

Deb's scraps have such interesting edges and shapes.  I think they would be easiest to use if appliquéd down on a surface. They resist being made into a straight edge.  I persevered on one edge.

There was no Law and Order so I had to watch Lifetime's Christmas Movies (actually look like old Hallmark Movies). Watched one about a woman who's Dutch grandmother sends her Christmas Shoes filled with candy on December 5th.  St Nicholas Day.  The shoes come with a promise of some magic if she wears the shoes.  She has never worn them--until they made this movie.

it must be the way things are now- bare legs and bare feet sliding into high heeled shoes.

Dee asked and I admit- I make cloth that has no story.  It is just what I think looks nice next to something else that I thought looked nice next to some other cloth scrap. If it doesn't work- I don't have any problems taking the whole thing apart.  I have asked myself why the cloth has no story.  I like stories.  It is a perplexing mystery.  Do you think Rothko was telling a story with his paintings? Or was he just showing you what colors could do and be? How it could affect you.

And NO NO NO, I do not compare myself to Rothko. But I do enjoy colors more than subject.
