From My Worktable
Threads color-coded for my next stitching project
I wish you (and myself) a cooler August. Summer in South Carolina is unbearable outdoors, unless you love sweating. I hear that even the pool water is too warm to be refreshing. For me, it’s a matter of working exclusively in the small bedroom I call my studio, where I can draw, and paint, and stitch. Messy projects in the too-hot garage studio must wait, but making never takes a day off.
I’m starting stitched projects, delightfully slow, mesmerized by the thread colors I’ve chosen to convey the narrative.
I am finishing projects that have served as in-process artifacts for a time. Their back and inner workings exposed to view during my USCB show. (Photos on my website.)
I continue to ponder the projects that linger in the psyche, waiting for their story to unfold.
I am in the planning stages of a Journal Keeping Workshop for the Fiber Guild of the Savannahs.
So I practice what I teach in the times between, using the journals I make, to mark time, and narrative, and reveal the intuitive.
Hope you are creating.
