FFF I've only just begun ...

To focus, that is.



Very interesting week.  I've learned a lot.

To do the next thing first requires a focal point.  Charging off is all well and good.  I am really quite good at that.  And I do generate a lot of dust and accomplish things. But to run to a specific and well defined end is entirely new to me.  Ding Dong.  That is me schmucking my head with a rubber mallet! lol

Oh, I do like blogging.  It is my journal, my inspiration notebook, my technique book.  My Learning Book!  whoo hoo!

This week:

I spent a fun day learning a new technique that will put more options in my mixed media arsenal. A day with the focus on finished things and not finished projects was inspiring.  I have things to browse through to finish wips!  :)

 The quilt top and backing for Jolina is ready for basting and quilting. I think she enjoyed herself in class.

I hope she learned good things from her elders.  lol

I learned to go slowly and intentionally.  I redid the technique page in my journal and I have better control with a brush than smooshing with my finger.  I am intrigued to continue the study of lines, grids, and columns.

 I am delighted to post that I finally got those design wall curtains sewn and up!  I'm feeling calmer already.  lol 


Not exactly finished but I did some texture on white card stock.  I need to clean my stencils better.  Then I thought to actually colour the modeling paste.  Now I need to patiently learn how to keep from smearing things!  I don't think you ever really finish learning!  :)
