Studio Days at Arrowmont

10/3/2015

3 Comments

 
Day 4 and 5
The rain continues to pour, so no silly hiking distractions to take me away from the studio! Started the day with that angst that is brought on by the [always happens] "this is crap" phase that every piece must go through just before you turn the bend! Compound this with the rain, missing home a smidgen and my initial adrenaline having been used up, and it took a while to find the groove. But thanks to cranking up some Bette Midler, Willie Nelson and Edvard Grieg, soon I was on a roll.

I got stitching well under way on the Green Lichen one I started the other day, and got two others laid out and auditioning for whether they will get a part or not. I noticed a lot of well soaked small branches outside my studio door, so inspired by the basket makers I saw the other day, I did a little weaving with them and some paper yarns. I think this will now be joined by some photos and lots of stitching!

I also pounded some leaves to see about using those images. Didn't get them quite right, but all that pounding certainly was a mood enhanced!!

Here are some of the works in progress... I will keep you posted on their progress!

Love it all! Besides going Viking on leaves will teach any nearby varmints to keep their distance! Weaving is wonderful! Wish I could send you some of the soup I made today.

Finally, I was worried you lost your internet.

I love all the new things you are getting to try. And thanks for sharing it with us along the way and not just the finished product. Good luck making it through all those phases that pop up along the way.
