Basically: Breakthrough. Honestly the stitch is where I thought I'd always sit and now it is the weave as well. A good pairing. Now,I'm also reliving fabric and paint experiments from grad school in my head. I'm committed to the point where cleaning out and making room in storage spaces has been the only thing that amused for the beginning of November. It's not about making more just to make. Yet, maybe I should fill the sketchbook instead with the stories I want to tell out of fabric, thread ideas eternal not dead. Hmph. Working smaller and more detailed not just ornate. All original designs with traditional approaches. Still we get what we can when the second hand store is good to us. We do what we can when the muse strikes us down and tells us to wait. We heal , we repair, we daydream and wait.
Supply run coming to finish out what I've been making for the past 4 years. I say it once a year at least. I try and get distracted. I have cause and reason to steer the course though the end of next year: support and building contacts. Being relatively shy doesn't help except patience comes easier. Later and Happy Holidays.
