Here's wishing the world a very happy 2009!
I've never made a new year resolution before, but this year I have two. Both related to art/craft.
The first is to do a little embroidery every day. As I was cleaning the clutter in my workroom last afternoon, I found the perfect starting point for this resolution - a few crazy quilt patches from the UFO pile. Here's the little pistil stitch flower I stitched yesterday.
The second is to draw a face a day. While I'm not interested in doing portraits, I would like to have enough control over my faces to create interesting, emotive visages to go with the greater movement I am seeking in both my paper and fabric figures. This took a little longer than I anticipated, as each time I thought I was done and took a picture, I would find spots that needed more work on them! Anyway, here's what came out of it.
Let's fill this year of change with learning and growing.
