it's been a long day, filled with inspiration, a dose of desperation and a tiny bit of consideration ...
i've been working on my fifty collages for night class ... yes you heard right, fifty ... not fifteen ... i suppose we are taking this course to expand our creative selves but sleepless nights don't necessarily lend themselves to expansion of creativity ...
all that said, i'm about twenty percent (dear god) there ... here's a photo of a few of the pieces in my series ...
and a close up of one of fifty (well one day in the near future hopefully there will be fifty) ...
my concept is to take a look at a "found object" like perhaps a sweater ... found at value village ... how did it go from a treasured piece to a discarded piece ... was it too large, too small, did it get a hole, did it just not "work" anymore ...
let's hope at the end of it all, it makes some sense ...
in the meantime, for inspiration, i found myself at, can you guess where? ...
ah, right on the first try ... there's nothing like pawing through the shelves and racks of value village to find inspiration ... and a beautiful crocheted creamy throw ...
so, back to the cutting board, literally, not to mention the glue stick and sewing machine and, if you don't hear from ms heart for a few days, you'll know that i'm in the study cutting and pasting and praying ... a lot of praying ...
oh and you might be wondering about that consideration part, well that's a story for another day ... but it involves one sweet 11-year old boy who always sees the good ...
