Try and try alike
Hi.
Here is my first effort of art making in my new life, apartment, town and lifestyle,
and here is the hungry little devil welcoming spring and change and the mere fact of being. All will be well.
It is a work in process!
So much is happening right now. Have you seen this?
Or how about...
I will be in Chicago in two short weeks, and I will be teaching at Make It University.
FUN STUFF.
If you plan to go, I want to meet you!
Then, there is a thing I love to depict in both my journal and in my quilt art. And while I am finding very interesting things on the street and along side trash cans and stoops, there is a great opportunity in this city life to take photographs of chairs...
Can I say that I am now on a mission to collect photographs of chairs?
This is a full living room set! Shabbily chic by even the best of standards, but, really! I nabbed an errant piece of cloth off this display of sidewalk debauchery. I am not proud. It is silk and has images of pomegranates on it. And, well, because of Persephone, I love the symbolism of pomegranates.
So. Sew buttons on your underwear.
