Yesterday was a rare day. It was a day in the studio...Pam's studio.
A just do it kind of day.
A day for stitching.
A day for admiring work.
A day for what ifs.
What if I paint on the back?
What if I dip it?
What if I let it soak?
Will it run?
It was that kind of day.
A day for taking photos of friends.
Wow! What a fantastic day and your work is so inspiring. I'm so appreciative of your sharing. The 'what if' theory is of particular significance to me as that's how I approach much of my art. I learn so much that way. Thanks for showing us your world. Great stuff!!
ReplyDeleteHollis - Thank you for stopping by and for your lovely compliments. The top two photos are of my rusted boro piece that I finally was brave enough to begin. The rest of the photos are of Pam's captivating hand stitched/mono printed piece which was a delight to photograph.

eb - It was indeed a wonderful time that produced a long list of "what ifs" to try as well as a theme for next year's artist retreat. What are your "what ifs"?
ReplyDeleteYou describe the gentle rhythm of it so well Jennifer - day of doing and trying gently...I love those two images of the rusted boro work, such elegant simplicity.
ReplyDeleteFiona - "Elegant simplicity". Such lovely words. Thank you. That's what I want for the piece. Just like you did with your 5 gold rings. Not that's elegant simplicity at its best!
