Fast forward and I actually have three exhibitions coming up this year, with an urgent need for new work! And one of them (thankfully the last one, in November) is at the gallery we pulled out of previously. So after musing about what to start, but needing to start something, I pulled down my box file and just look what I found:
Sketchbook pages ready to be stitched and bound
Painted papers for collaging ideas
Designs
Musings on imagery and symbolism
Wordles
Pattern pieces organised in folders
Bags of threads, fibres and fabrics
Tentative samples
Love this bit...on water soluble, but not yet dissolved.
This is virtually a kit! All I need to do is remember how I was going to get all these ideas to work together....and decide on a scale.....and actually start....again
Why is it that we get so far with things, and then just as they reach the point where they could be finished, or we reach that breakthrough moment, we shelve them? Anyone else find this?
