taking my time with the love notes, listening and paying attention and moving things around until they feel settled and enjoying a blown out, messy work table again. We are already missing all the mild, blue sky, golden days we were gifted with when we could leave the studio door open to the soft air. Things are looking grey and foggy now and so much cooler.
What an interesting thing it is, the differences between creating with mixed media, found and natural objects and bead weaving. The first is so much like play and not knowing what the piece will turn out to be, just flowing with each move, trying so many different textures and colors and fabrics. The beading is absolute structure for me, counting and making each one match what the pattern says it should look like ... one tiny missed bead is noticed. Working with leather is like having a teacher looking over your shoulder all the time but in a very good way and I still miss it, the feel and smell.
I need and love having each one in my life and it really depends on my mood which one I enjoy at any time but I can tell now it's time to switch from love notes to beading so I can concentrate on that and try not to think about all the heavy things that are dwelling in my mind and heart every day ... I'll be so happy when this changes just like the weather does.
