I got a lovely message from her yesterday, so now I can share it with all of you.
I did some more small landscapes yesterday and they looked like crap. I've already hidden them away so I don't feel like wretching when I look at them. (But I didn't actually throw them out. There may be some redemption for them eventually.)
Today I did some small pieces using the frayed hems of some old jeans. They turned out much better. One will make it's way to Houston for Fiber Art for a Cause.
As we all know, some days are more inspired than others.
Love it! And I highly doubt your other landscapes looked like "crap".
ReplyDeleteRockstar tonight--I love Slambo's reviews; if I miss anything, I read her blog and get caught up!
Your landscape is wonderful! What I especially love about your art is how you can convey so-o-o much in such a simplified look. It is great---keep it up.
ReplyDeleteThank you Thank you Lisa!! I never get any comments so I don't know if anyone but me and my mom read my stuff!! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteDeborah, this is charming. You really do have a great eye for clean but evocative design. And your stitching compliments it perfectly. What a wonderful gift for your friend!
ReplyDeleteI really just love this palette of colours on this one!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great little piece.
ReplyDeleteyou're right, some days are more inspiring than others...this piece, in all it's simplicity is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI Love the simplified look at your work
ReplyDeletePlease post some of your "crap", too! ;) It'd be interesting to say, "OK, I was trying for this, but it turned out like this! Egad!" We're all in a learning process, and unlike in life in playing with fiber we may actually be able to learn from each other's mistakes. (My mistake this week was to make a baby sling too wide--I thought more fabric would be cozier--but it's only bulkier...)
