Imagine romance, or solitude, peace of mind, angel food cake? Cleansing the palate of over stimulation?
I realized I must be, when I was drawn to this collage card recently. Because it is monochromatic, or the soft wisps of fiber containing the creamy hearts, so they don’t fly away? I don’t know, but it makes me wonder if it is time to paint over the red bedroom walls to a soothing taupe.
A little time left for one more By the Sea themed card for Mixed Media Monday. How I miss the ocean.
Blue dolphin ceramic button with little fish and ”In the beginning” ceramic embellishment, sewn onto recycled cardboard, with miscellaneous fabric scraps, paper and eyelash yarn. Size: 7.75” x 4.25”.
Do you play? Having been introduced to Mixed Media Monday, I’m rediscovering the winning combination of play time and thinking outside my narrow focus.
I encourage everyone to give it a try. Whether you post your creations or not, you’re a winner for playing. You might even make new friends.
TOO much to say about this one, and of course everyone knows the importance of making time for themselves, or for creating. Here is how I negotiate with myself: I wish to spend hours painting papers, or sewing painted fabrics with no particular finished project in mind. I have housekeeping to do. Simple, for every 20 minutes of crafting, do a house-project: put laundry away, then more fun: put clean dishes away, then more fun: vacuum one area, then one martini, you get the idea. Put on great music and get to work. It’s not so bad.
I notice I quantified my play time with “no particular finished project”. I believe if you are finishing a project, for ANY reason, then you are off the hook and need no justification, so there. So have fun, it is the weekend after all. love (and UFO’s)
you know why I didn’t post yesterday? I slept all day! HA! take that List Of Things To Do!
