slowly she turned

I think that I’ve figured out that I’m going back to stitching and creating woven pieces with cloth strips and paper every day and integrating found objects as I get a whim. The ones that I’ve done in the past provided me with a lot of pleasure. However, the problem with this plan is that it always takes up more time than I intend, and I want my focus to be on tapestry and new tapestry designs for this year. The good thing about this plan is that I can see how many of these fabric collages I’ve done could be tapestry designs.

Just in case I decide to do another tapestry weather diary, I’ve updated my spreadsheet in which I track the weather each day, and I’ll warp up a loom and start something much smaller. After all, I have all this Paternayan yarn that I bought at that thrift store on Halloween! So, I’ll analyze which colors I will need the most of and figure out my palette from that. Or maybe I’ll base my fabric project on the colors of that day. Hmmm. For example, yesterday would have been medium green for the high temperature and medium blue for the low temperature. There are a lot of ways that could go – with the cloth, with the thread, with the objects… I could set a size for the back cloth that would work well for a fabric book at the end of the year, or a season.

Well, I guess I’d better get crackin’.
