PIVOTING

 Well well well......this didn't work.  I've gone from trying to soften the edges of water movement to redoing, & redoing.....and finally YUP....... in an attempt to salvage the background fabric, the Prisma pencil marks & the water soluble crayon blending was washed out. And what did it get??  A mess.

But you know I DO NOT GIVE UP!!  I've always believed sharing failures is just as important as sharing successes. So this project will now feature a new whole-cloth batik background.  However, not anytime soon as I'm heading to attend our oldest grandson's 8th. grade graduation and family time.

Some handwork will come with me as I rip all the stitching from the first attempt.  Creating one-of-a-kind art quilts takes patience.......  check back in with me won't you?!?

PERFECTLY SAID

 My friend Toni shared this quote she recently read.  So perfectly said: 

“Art is making something no one asked for—not because they didn’t need it, but because they didn’t know they needed it until you made it, until you helped them breathe and dream and find a way forward.”
