Low Tech

Virtual class has the ability to share a screen with slick images, polished graphics, and mesmerizing images. But for quick and direct, here's my list of compositions that might jump start the jumble of improv-made blocks. You'd be surprised how many fall into these categories. 
 

Circle Back

Demo examples are always fun to return to and decide what I need to add to the yard to make a good composition. Something of a challenge, but it's better the more times that choice is made to rearrange or add. But, new batch of dyes needed. Tomorrow's list!

I Forgot How Much I Loved Piecing

Today class felt great. What's more fun that a gathering where everyone is exploring and trying new compositions? As I demo, I end up with little sketches. This leftover bit I couldn't help by want to make six feet tall. Felt so good to sew again. And teach, too.

In Harmony

My weekend was consumed with the Turtle Hill Folk Festival here in Rush, New York. Beside three great concerts were dozens of workshops. One on writing original songs, was an eye opener to compare the composing process to how I would start and edit a fiber piece.

A Man, a Pnal, Panama

Work goes on, albeit slowly, building the left orange side of the latest work. Funny how it seems random when finished, but shifting and replacing  to get there endless.

Maybe This, Maybe That

Moving, cutting, rearranging. Might as well do that for a while. It's what people think I do, anyway. This time, yes. Other times, no.
