SNOW DAY!!!!
Yes, for those of you that teach or have taught, the Snow Day is worthy of the capitals, and multiple exclamation marks. A gem of sparkle among the routine of the winter days.
So what am I doing with this precious thing? Sat in bed actually, with laptop, sketchbook, a book (discarded in favour of facebook and twitter at the moment though). I mull over the possibilities…. Finish that commission, start quilting the purple and lime green thing, stitch some bits and pieces onto canvas, do some Respectable embroidery, do some ironing (unlikely, lets be honest), Bake some cakes (quite likely), make hearty soup (also quite likely), tidy the studio (no chance), sort and wash some tiddly bits of fabric, and iron them – yes probably.
I just came up with a lovely couple of words while commenting on Sophie Cullinan’s log: Performance Mantra… I think I shall spend the day performing mantra… repetitive actions that lead to meditation and contemplation: sorting bits of fabric into piles of colour, ironing them, arranging them… it is time consuming, absorbing, satisfying in a way that ironing shirts is so NOT!
ps… The images I’m posting are inspired by the altered and pixelated images Bo Jones has been producing.
The purple and green quilt is about 5ft square, the canvas squares about one inch.
