So I like to use what I have in my art making. And I am trying to figure out a way into a new series.  I like the idea of a daily piece.  I think I need some structure, boundaries or form to help me commit to the project.  I got the book the Uncommon Quilter by Jeanne Williamson at the Library today and was inspired by her commitment.  I started with a paint splattered piece of newsprint and paper scrapes from the floor of my studio, added the birds, some stamping and eligible writing.  I machine stitiched it with a piece of blanket for the middle and brown bag for the back.  I always feel better when I just do something. 

I am determined to use some of the fabric that I have been dyeing in the shibori class that I am taking.  I picked two of my least favorite dyed pieces and just started stencilling and writing on the surface.  I have to say I am pleasantly pleased.  I mounted the first two on a box.  They look good but you kind of lose the feel that is is fabric. I don’t think that I want to go the quilt route.  so I guess I will just keep playing.
