Over the weekend I got a little more done at the latest landscape. Flirting with the time period in creating these that I feel the only thing I should do is chuck it because it looks butt ugly. So far I've managed to work through that period in a landscape creation and it's been okay but I do second guess myself a lot.
Your quote for today..."How cool is it that the same God who created mountains and oceans and galaxies looked at you and thought the world needed one of you too?"
Nice, Thank you
ReplyDeleteI like the blocking rig. I think I can make a comfortable knitting spool using that material.
Yes, I thought that blocking idea would be useful for many different shapes and forms, depending on how you put it together.
DeleteI think it’s coming along beautifully!
ReplyDeleteaawww - very kind of you to say! Me, I'm not so sure at this point.
DeleteI do like neat diy projects. This would work a treat.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried making one but I think it should work.
DeleteSecond comment, different subject: yes, that whywasiborn passage in every art project, as you come to grips with what's happening that's different from your original concept. And yes to persisting anyway! This one is going to be great.
ReplyDeletePersistence (or stubbornness!!) is the key for so many endeavors.
DeleteI think we all go through those times when we look at our pieces and say that...I know I do...
ReplyDeletethen when they're done, we are happy we kept on going....;))) hugs, Julierose
Yes, I just have to keep that in mind and keep working at it. Self-doubt is definitely an enemy!
DeleteKeep on keeping on with your lovely landscape, Mary Anne. It is going to be amazing at the end. Your landscapes always are, you know. Loving the details on the church. Loving those crochet hexies. Wouldn't they look lovely in a blanket??
ReplyDeleteHmmmm - amazing at the end? One of these days it's gonna happen that there's a complete and total dud. I'm not that naive that I don't think I'm bound for a failure sooner or later!
DeleteSome butts are adorable!
ReplyDeleteAnd projects always have slow difficult areas. You know your stuff, you've been through this before, you'll get it done.
I don't know as I know my stuff - I'm learning bit by bit as I go along. Definitely a lot of trial and error!
DeleteI think every project goes through that stage Mary Anne. It's looking great from where I am! Christine xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine - the outlook must have changed between here and where you are (hee hee).
DeleteI love your quote. That one is going into my journal! Love your work, too.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked the quote Ellen - and thank you for the kind words about my creations.
DeleteYou find the neatest links to share. And I do love this project.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoy the links Lorraine - i have fun searching for them.
DeleteLovely landscaping you are doing there. Thanks for the links. I read Mary’s post about how she handles hexies. Excellent.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jocelyn! Glad you found something of interest in Mary's post.
DeleteWas so sure I had left a comment here, but I think I was having posting from my phone (when our internet was out). I'm impressed with what you call butt ugly, Mary Anne. I know, in spite of your doubts, you're going to keep working your magic and I will once again be blown away by your talent.
ReplyDeleteI guess butt ugly is in the eye of the beholder? It's gone beyond that stage now and I'm happier with it (sort of).
