And I Wait...

Sometimes I don't feel like painting.  Not very often, mind you, but sometimes.  Today I had the whole day to myself.  I guess the cacti painting I have on my table isn't fully cooked in my mind because I sat down twice to start dropping in paint and walked away.  I guess when it's ready, it'll flow.  In the meantime, my loom has been patiently waiting for me to come meditate there for a bit.

Wonky and amateur but fun anyway

I spent the morning weaving.  Except for the part where I started a pattern and had to take it out multiple times it was a lovely way to work today.  The piece is beginning to pull in at the edges slightly, but I am going to keep on going.  If I wait till I make something perfect before I complete it, I'll never finish a thing on that loom.  So.. imperfect it will be.

The patterned bits just before I pulled them out.  Again.  Sigh...  

Hopefully, while I was weaving today the painting had a chance to work itself out so I can be ready to start soon.  It's funny how that happens.  When I leave an idea alone long enough it will usually resolve itself sooner or later.  When I push it and try to force it along I make a mess.  Thank goodness I am learning that lesson finally; it took enough years.  In the meantime, I am happy to have something else to work on so I don't get impatient.

Thanks for stopping by!  Alice
