It’s not exactly the dreaded white page<\/em><\/strong> syndrome – it’s more the half written page, or the half blank – or is that black and white? Whatever, it is that well known point at which a creative person sometimes gets stuck, wondering which path to take now. I am facing this with the current quilt top, which I think is now ‘done’ in the applied leather department, in a style similar to earlier pics on this blog – now for the quilting. Deciding what type – the options are (1) <\/em><\/strong>fine free machine <\/em><\/strong> quilting in a subdued gold thread to tone with the subdued gold leather angular appliques (2) <\/em><\/strong>lots of hand quilting in both black and the perle thread which looks like gold matching the leather…. Instinct tells me to just start – but I am not sufficiently committed to going ahead with any one kind of approach so I am tempted to put it aside for a while and get on with the next design calling me – but the thing is I did this with the previous one….. and still haven’t picked it up again. I am so rarely in this position – normally I have either some piecing or some quilting going on at the same time as some finishing off – not this kind of clog up which might be construed as a heap of (2) UFO’s. So, some procrastination of some kind is looming today perhaps.<\/p>\n

Oner thing I will do is spend some time with a new (to me) book on Tim Storrier<\/em><\/strong> a prominent Australian artist. I can do an on line search for stuff on another fav. I have always been meaning to look into more, about his life inspirations etc because I adore his work – Jules Sher<\/em><\/strong>. Yes, that should give me some thinking time. And if that fails, there is the Robert Drewe book I am well into, “Grace”. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
