well guess what? RAIN. it just won't let up. i noticed the beautiful drops on the grass after the first big shower. looked like a green path to somewhere and the dots were like the rain had left its footprints behind.
...since it was an indoor day, i was sorting though things i pulled out an old what if...and thought i would make it into something. the dots i added are like stepping stones. a place to begin and a way to continue. a way to circle this crazy yet calming center.
...i took a shadowy photo to show the cloth this is stitched on. it is a metallic coated linen that has been washed with an abrasive to wear off some of the shine. i call it shisha cloth. (you might remember it from here) it has a liquid shimmer. after the washing is is very drapy and soft.
...i filled some of the dots with tiny leftovers, softened with wear as if they had been walked on many times. this piece has a calm about it and it has me thinking more clearly. today i have decided to return to posting on what if. because it has its own focus. a focus that excludes whining and feeling sorry for myself. it is a way to continue on a learning path that always helps me feel better. and i miss it.
