a puzzle-FUN
once I was commenting to a friend about my messy home, telling her that my mother says I could do with some obsessive compulsion
and she said that of course I am obsessive-compulsive, a musician who has practised scales for hours daily can't not be...
and she set me free!
since then I have been happily exploring that side of me, making things with no guilt, things that need extra care, and lots of small repetitive actions,
I was able to recognise that getting things "just so" can have different forms
sorting out intersections of seams and cutting up after to make more intersections can be very enjoyable
and I love the "deconstructed- reconstructed" result, yes it can lead me somewhere,
all my thanks to jude hill for her online classes, and the "patchwork beasts", for being a generous and gentle guide into totally unknown territory
the house is still a mess, clothes, cloths, scraps all in piles !
maybe a storm inside would do the job

I'll bet you are glad you are an artist though. I'm messy too and wouldn't trade my house for any neat friends home.
Anxious to see what those stitched squares you are working on become.
Beautiful seamed cloth happening here, Manya! It is a joy to watch former clothmates working on beasties -- this has such a rich feeling to it, I can't wait to see where it goes. All those stitches, the asymetrical piecing, it's a strong, strong beginning...
thank you, healing woman
sweetpea, hello! I'm a bit overwhelmed with beginnings at the moment..jude's classes have moved something in me
Wait for a storm and then open the front and backdoor. All mess is gone and you can happily sew those gorgious seams..................
XXXm
came back to see those seams
What a wise friend setting you free! Your beautiful work is worth so much more than an organized house ...
