I have been trying to have a grand sort out in my little
room/studio; I would like to say it is of my life but it is really only of all
the scraps, papers, found and given bits and pieces which have accumulated over
at least the last nine years. It has been hard to part with some of the bags of
tissue, cardboard, and bubble wrap, but I am pleased to say that much of the ‘haberdashery’
and painted paper has found a home. I could still make my way through all the
sketchbooks and course work gathered over the years, but this may have to wait
for the next round of energy.
I gathered some fabrics from my scrap basket and am thinking
of putting them together into some kind of patchwork, rather like Spirit Cloth’s
nine patch project.
Every piece of coloured paper and fabric holds some memory
so one has to be a bit ruthless in all this.
Encouraging! I am also trying to throw away some (lots) of wrappings, paper, bits and pieces, drid flowers etc.! So your blog will help me a bit.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing your next post--what you do with those scraps. I, too, like Jude Hill's work--and of course yours!
